Province effect not always working

[Hardradi]

I have a weird situation where part of an event I have created doesnt work 100% of the time, only about 66 to 75% of the time.

This is the code:

country_event = {
		
	id = 185407
		
	trigger = {
		tag = MA2
		NOT = { year = 476 }
		NOT = { has_country_flag = brennus_ftw }
	}
	
	title = "EVTNAME185407"
	desc = "EVTDESC185407"
	mean_time_to_happen = {
		days = 1
	}
	
	immediate = {
		set_country_flag = brennus_ftw	
		135 = {
			spawn_horde = 2

			[U][B]culture = thracian[/B][/U]

			religion = shamanism

			barbarian_power = 7
		}
	}

	option = {
		name = "EVTOPTA185407"
	}
}

Province 135 is startng out as celtic and druidism in 474.1.1. The part that doesnt work 100% of the time is "culture = thracian".

Sometimes in changes to thracian after the event fires, sometimes it doesnt.

Anyone got any ideas ?

I copied the event, ran it a couple of times, and got the same result.
I think this has to do with that the barbarians can convert provinces to their own culture. In your event, the barbarian horde is released before the culture swaps, wich could lead to the barbarians spawning having the same culture as the province had before the event fired, in this case celtic. This means that they can convert the province's culture to their own, reverting it to celtic from thracian again.

Sometimes the newly spawned barbarians would take the additional 7 barbarian power with them, too.

Maybe putting "spawn_horde = 2" between the religion change and "barbarian_power = 7" could do the trick?

Thanks for the reply vanin.

I think you must be right, the barbarians are converting the culture in the province.

The key is that I want the horde to spawn as celts in a thracian province. I might try a seperate delayed event that converts it back to thracian and see if I can get it "stable".
