Removing Triggers in event, can't get it to fire

Triggers

Ok-

I decided to make the game so that you can gain an explorer or a conquistodor at any time.
I did this by eliminating all of the triggers for these events.
I tested it in the game (as several different countries) by using the cheat event event# and it didn't work.
Does it have to have at least one trigger?
I'm sorry if the question is noobish, but saying my event scripting is amateur is an overstatement.

Post your altered event, so we can see what it is the event is doing.

Oh and another thing. Is the event in the same place or did you place it in a new event file? If you did you need to place an address entry for the new event file in your event.txt file so the game can read it (if that was the case).

I just took the already existing events for conquistodors and explorers and deleted the triggers, no new event file.

This is the file:

event = {
	id = 94029 # Paradox 1041
	random = yes
	name = "EVENTNAME59"
	desc = "EVENTHIST59"
	style = 0

	trigger = {
	}

	action_a = {
		name = "OK"
		command = { type = conquistador which = -1 }
		command = { type = colonists value = 2 }
	}
}

and

event = {
	id = 94080 # Paradox 1040
	random = yes
	name = "EVENTNAME58"
	desc = "EVENTHIST58"
	style = 0

	trigger = {
	}
	action_a = {
		name = "OK"
		command = { type = explorer which = -1 }
		command = { type = colonists value = 2 }
	}
}

Triggers are not required. Except for that I believe explorers require a certain naval tech for that command to be valid, this shoudl work. Try removing the empty "trigger = {}" part. That isn't needed...
