Playing 1.03b under Windows XP on a 2 GHz Dell desktop. I checked 12 pages of the bugs reported list and did a search but didn't see this bug.

Playing as Japan, it seems to be impossible to receive Paradox event id = 12608 ("The Meiji Restoration"). It has the same triggers as the other Meiji Restoration events, but when you get the various trigger events they automatically sleep 12608 regardless of your choices!

This means that in one specific case you end up with no Meiji Restoration at all, while event 12608 never fires. This can't be working as designed...?

This problem occurs if the Japanese player receives the "Ie Naosuke (hardline) leads the Shogunate" event (60% chance) and chooses to crush all opposition (50% chance?), leading to the "Ie Naosuke is assassinated" event in 1858. At this point, if "Ando (hardline) comes to power" is chosen (50% chance?), every Meiji restoration event is slept (by this or previous events). This means that there is a 1 in 10 chance of the Meiji Restoration failing to occur despite Perry's visit happening.

From what I can tell, only one small change needs to be made: remove the line

Code:
command = { type = sleepevent which = 12608 }
from action_a in the "Ie Naosuke is assassinated" event. Then things will work as originally designed.

Admittedly, this is a minor bug, but it's also a minor solution...I know that Paradox doesn't write new events for patches, but I'm hoping they're willing to fix a single line if they agree with my observations.

Two other minor requests you may ignore:

2) Would it be possible for the Meiji Restoration events to change the government to the political reform "public meetings = no"? I ask because if the government is set to allow them, as soon as the Meiji Restoration happens the government will become a multi-party parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy, erasing the meaning of the particular Restoration event chosen. Of couse, this could be WaD.

3) Is there any chance of changing the "Constitutional Crisis" event to make only conservatives get higher militancy? As it is, I often get a 100% Democratic government happening long before the Meiji Restoration - which happens anyways despite it.

Thank you for your time,
David Harper
