Mercenary Event Scripting

[unmerged(127999)]

So I've been looking around for this event, but I can't find it in CK. I know that many historical nations gave their soldiers away as mercenaries, but theres no event in the vanilla scenarios to do that.

Could it work something like the "The Teutonic Order offers it's services" event? A decreasing of money and a free regiment for the buying count, duke, or king, and a decrease of troops, but an increase of money for the selling count, duke, or king? Is this possible to mod into CK? And if someone's already made that mod, may I download it?

Such events are possible, check Crusader kings/db/friend_events.txt and then especially event 8060 and 8062 as examples of how such events might look
