Why does the russians have the option to get an core on the ottoman capital?
It's insane to conquer the entire ottoman empire just to get your hands on Constantinople!
Well, maybe you have thought that, I have.
Even though I am not an experienced event-maker, I've made it possible to conquer Constantinople, if you play as russia :)

#The city that all want
event = {
id = 271023
trigger = {
control = { province = 357 data = RUS }
exists = TUR
}
random = no
country = RUS
name = "Conquest of Konstantinople"
desc = "After the fall of the Byzantine Empire, the russians were the one that picked up the mantle of orthodoxy. However, at some time they felt that they could not survive without the wise skills of the patriarch in Konstantinople. Therefor, they decided to conquer the city from the Ottomans. Sire, it is now! The ottomans have no choice but to move their capital elsewhere. Finally, Tsargrad!"

date = { day = 1 month = april year = 1454 }
offset = 10
deathdate = { year = 1820 }

action_a = {
name = "Tsargrad!"
command = { type = treasury value = 1000 }
}
}

Nothing fancy with this, BUT!
Let us take a look at the ottoman event that kicks off when this russian event kicks off.

}
event = {
id = 301130
trigger = {
event = 271023 #RUS: The city that all want
exists = RUS
}
random = no
country = TUR
name = "We have lost!
desc = "We have lost our holiest city and capital, Istanbul, to the drowling russian hounds! We have no choice but to evacuate while we can. We must change capital to another city. I hope we will be able to retake it soon."

date = { day = 13 month = february year = 1453 }
offset = 5
deathdate = { day = 19 month = september year = 1819 }

action_a = {
name = "Damn!"
command = { type = capital which = 477 }
}
}

I am sure that 80% of you out there could have made this better than I did, but now I have done so, and if anyone (of any strange reason) would like to use this (for yourself, not mod), just take it. If you want it for a mod or something, please let me know. And do not worry, I have tested it and it worked fine for me.
EDIT: Hope this counts as uploading >< I thought this was the regular forum site until I posted it and realized it was the uploading forum...sigh.
 
I have made similar events for the Ottomans being forced out of Europe with Constinople being occupied, making a change of capital possible.

Code:
# Europe lost? provinces surrounding Constantinople
event = {
	id = 301130
	trigger = {

			owned = { province = 322 data = -1 } #Wallachia
			owned = { province = 355 data = -1 } #Serbia
			owned = { province = 363 data = -1 } #Kosovo
			owned = { province = 361 data = -1 } #Albania
			owned = { province = 359 data = -1 } #Hellas
			owned = { province = 479 data = -1 } #Ionia
			control  = { province = 321 data = -1 }
			control  = { province = 356 data = -1 }
			control  = { province = 358 data = -1 }

			control  = { province = 479 data = -1 }

			control  = { province = 357 data = REB }

From there the Ottomans were to conquer much of the Balkans and the middle East, but those dreams of rulership in Europe have ended. Though still owning Istanbul, it is occupied. The territories around the great city are also held by outsiders. Perhaps it is time to move to a more secure location?"

Nice one :)
