New Historical Events

[Grell74]

I am working on a whole bunch of historical events (I can just hear the outraged cries of determism... not an historical simulation... blah... blah). But I am a great fan of these (loved Stony Road for HOI).

However I have hit a brick wall with my Muslim Kingdom creation events. Using the create_tag value = ALMO I can get the Mamlukes, Almohads, Ayyubis, etc cranking but without claims they are ineffectula (no matter how many free troops I give them). Can anyone tell me why this effect doesnt work:

effect = { type = add_title_claim value = MURA }

It will load up fine and the event will fire OK, there are no crashes or anything, however the claim is not given. Is there something obvious I am missing? If the following works:

effect = { type = add_title_claim value = random_neighbor }

Why cant I have value = specific titles?

You can only use valid targets for event effects which are the ones listed at the top of the event_effects.txt file.

spouse
father
mother
random_son
worst_son
best_son
ruler
steward
chancellor
marshal
spymaster
chaplain
random_courtier
worst_courtier
best_courtier
knight
liege
random_vassal
worst_vassal
best_vassal
random_neighbor
worst_neighbor
best_neighbor
random_enemy

Using it for the add_title_claim will give the character for whom the event is firing a claim on the highest title held by the target. IIRC if no title is held you get a CTD (and at very least it becomes a meaningless event) so you need to ensure that the target holds a title by checking for this (usually via csc) somewhere in the trigger.

How's the historical events mod coming along, Grell?
