no = XXX in revolt.txt

[MattyG]

The revolt.txt file often uses no = XXX, as in the following example:

SWE = {
	revolt = no
	no = KAL
	date = { year = 1419 }
	expirydate = { year = 1487 }
	minimum = { 254 253 252 }
	extra = { 251 252 257 308 260 341 342 381 1469 }
	capital = 254
	group = latin
	ai = "Sweden1.ai"
}

One would presume that here KAL cannot release SWE as a vassal, or that SWE cannot be released if KAL exists.

However, in playing KAL I see that I can release SWE.

Can someone explian what no = XXX actually does?

Could it be that it only affects rebels declaring independence? Other than that, I have no idea (now that you've destroyed my previous understanding ).

 

[szmik]

yes, Sweden cannot be formed by revolts if KAL exists

 

[cool-toxic]

Ehm that is not correct. Sweden can never be formed by rebels.

	revolt = no

Actually the:

	no = KAL

isn't needed when you have:

	revolt = no

I think P'dox added it for the safety.

 

[Garbon]

no = KAL means that SWE can't revolt from KAL. It can still revolt even if KAL exists, as long as someone else owns the affected provinces.

Thanks all.

Is there any way to prevent a given nation from being able to release another as a vassal?

More to the point, is there any way to make a country not be able to come into existence if another certain country already exists?

Just a precision, no = KAL doesn't prevent KAL from releasing SWE as a vassal but AI will never do that (and a player will not dot it neither, even if possible, for obvious reasons).

 

[MattyG]

No, that's true for that case. I can't imagine a scenario where that would be beneficial.

A shame there isn't a no = vassal = KAL qualifier, it would be useful for a few instances, to prevent cdertain shenanigans in an MP environment.

What is true?

For sure, revolt.txt is very limited...

 

[MattyG]

What is true?

That no player would want to release Sweden if they were Kalmar ....
