We need to have it a bit later. To be imposed in 34 or 35, so the NEW monarch will have to deal with it. You see, you will be able to choose pro-hansa monarch, pro-finnland monarch and neutral one. Pro-hansa can make sund crisis never spawn, really. He will just have serie of Hansa-dealing events.

Pro-finnish at the other hand can turn this in a total war, with his anti-Hansa thoughts.

Neutral monarch will have a pretty currents serie, with some revamps.

I am more than happy just to boot all the events on a certain number of years, and obviously to revise the Kalmar triggers for the event series.

What time frame did you have in mind?

 

[unmerged(34993)]

32 - The Imposing
33 - Hansa protests.
34-35 - the final resolution.

Check the Hansa file out again. While the inital tax-hit event occurs in 1421, most of the action happens between 1433 and 1442

Currently, in 1433, Hansa elect the hardliner, Ludwig Einhafen.

Currently, they take initial action in 1434.

The event which covers resolution of the Sund series starts at 1442, meaning the League have 8 years to take, and hold, Sjaelland. I suspect the 1-2 years you suggest might be a little tight. Why do you want the final resolution to occur in 1435?

Let me know what trigger event ID numbers you have from the Kalmar file. Currently the initial Hansa event triggers from Kalmar event #201503.

502820 it should be - Imposing...

That's quite reasonable.

Let Eric impose it in 32.
If pro-Hansa monarch is elected he will cancel this event and whole crisis.
Otherwise Hansa will react in 40-s.

Is that allright?

Eris imposing the levy in 1432 is good. A year later the League traders are incensed, and elect the tough General Einhafen in 1433. (The Hansetag elections are every 6 years, so I can't change this date.)

Then he'd want to react to the Union demands fairly promptly, say around 1434-5.

Einhafen is the action_b choice, with a peaceful Eldermann the normal AI choice, so the chance of a war is reduced anyway.

Then final resolution is the late 40's.

 

[unmerged(34993)]

Agreed.

The political crisis is SURE to be if Sund tolls are imposed, so in 38 there would be election. Action_a is pro Hansa monarch, so final resolution is not likely to be war.

So, what events should we have?

32 - Imposing (by the way, maybe imposing tolls should temporaly shut Meckleburgg COT and make a new one in Kobenhavn, like it is done in AGCEEP? this is quite reasonable)
33 - Elections in Hansa
34 - First Hansa demands.
a) If moderate is elected in Hansa, then even if Kalmar refuses totally war is action_b
b) if tough general is elected war is likely to start if Kalmar refuses outright.
38 - Elections in Kalmar
39-40 - Second Hansa demands

You know, if the Hansa re-elect the conciliatory Eldermann, AND he then chooses a conciliatory path after the Sund tolls are imposed, AND Kalmar end up with a strong and aggressive leader AND keep the Sund AND Holstein, THEN a situation might arise where the CoT moves to Kobenhaven. Otherwise, the Hansa woould resist losing Mecklenberg as a Centre of Trade, because frankly that is their sole source of power. They are not hereditary owners of land, and without money thay cannot buy mercenaries.

So for the CoT to move, it would have to be an exceptional series of events, and a fair bit of inaction on behalf of the Hansa.

But I like the idea!

 

[unmerged(34993)]

I'd say it like that.

In order to have CoT moved to Kobehaven.

1. Sund dues are imposed.
2. Sunds are not lowered by UoK at all.
3. Hansa chooses "weakling" path or loses war versus Kalmar.

Then they will lose Mecklenburg, because it won't be able to compete with Kobenhavn anymore, and that won't be really profitable too - Sund Dues are too heavy.
