The siezing of power by Francesco Sforza is not triggering in my game though I did get the "Milan accepts Sforza" event I never got the follow up event that puts him in power.

Please post a fix or tell me how to fix it.

Thank you

Justin
 
Sorry, I'm a little confused. The "Sforza seizes power" is, if I'm not mistaken, the follow up event.

What should happen is that you get the Ambrosian Republic event in 1447. If you choose the Republic, you get the Sforza event in 1450. If you choose Sforza you get no further events.

Could you clarify what happened in your game?
 
Ah...

Ah thank you I expected that Sforza would become Duke of Milan if I sided with him, not that the Ambrossian republic would stay in power.

Thank you

Justin
 
If you picked option B in the Ambrosian Republic then Sforza should come to power immediately, and the Ambrosian Republic monarch should never rule.

If you picked option A the Ambrosian Republic ought to "die" with the Sforza comes to power event, and you should get Sforza as your monarch.

If you had the Ambrosian Republic in either case you have found a bug.

Here are the relevant monarchs:
Code:
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 06561 }
	startdate = {
		day = 13
		month = august
		year = 1447
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 26
		month = march
		year = 1450
	}
	name = "Repubblica Ambrosiano"
	DIP = 3
	MIL = 3
	ADM = 3
}
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 06562 }
	startdate = {
		day = 26
		month = march
		year = 1450
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 6
		month = march
		year = 1466
	}
	name = "Francesco I Sforza"
	DIP = 8
	MIL = 8
	ADM = 8
}
#second needed if republic refused.
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 06569 }
	startdate = {
		day = 13
		month = august
		year = 1447
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 6
		month = march
		year = 1466
	}
	name = "Francesco I Sforza"
	DIP = 8
	MIL = 8
	ADM = 8
	dormant = yes
}

And here are the events:
Code:

city's patron saint, the Republic of St. Ambrose. It lasted for
two-and-one-half years, to be overwhelmed finally, in February 1450, by
