Lemonade

[unmerged(6931)]

I was bored and reading a book that lists major events that happened every year in the last couple hundred years. I found this entry for France and can't believe no one has coded this event yet!

So I took it upon myself to get the job done!

event = {
	id = 15001
	random = no
	country = FRA
	name = "Invention of Lemonade"
	desc = "Lemonade is invented at Paris as sugar imported from the French West Indies drops in price."
	style = 3
	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1630 }
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = february year = 1630 }
	action_a = {
		name = "Let the people Rejoice!"
		command = { type = infra value = 5 }
	}
}

Is this what is meant by a flavour event?

Great job! Why should you get infra investment though? Also, there should be trigger if France owns islands in the West Indies. No French sugar plantations, then I don't think there would be any lermonade from France. Another thing, you don't need a deathdate.

Infra because all that ice cold lemonade helps the peasants pick the grapes more quickly! Or would it be better to have it in trade as the people of the world spend all their money on imported French lemonade.

The death date does do something - it allows the evnt to fire if France forms as a revolter in January 1630. Also if someone becomes France in that month. OK I agree, it isn't really needed.

The infra increase is for all of the business that children can now create with their lemonade stands.

That's a nice event.... but won't that 5 ducats in infrastructure be unbalancing and make the game too easy?

a refreshing thread for once...

cool- now we just need:

coffee: administrative skills up by 1 for one day

chocolate: the aphrodisiac, population up by 100 in the capital

ouzo: +10 relations with all your neighbors; you all get together and dance all night

and

turkish delights: 100 soldiers desert because their bellies are too heavy to fight

Doesn't France need all the help it can get
