Carl Schurz

Out of interest, are there any conditions which might preclude him from entering the game?

[Bargus]

I'm not 100% on this, but I think if Fort Sumter doesn't fall to the CSA, he won't trigger.

[Blood and Thunder Brigade]

Well, Sumter has fallen to the Confederates and he still hasn't appeared as of early August 1861. What gives?

[Citizen X]

Conditions
MinDate = 1861/04/12
MaxDate = 1861/06/30
Probability = 50

Meaning, that every turn between the specified dates the odds are 50%

[Blood and Thunder Brigade]

So I'm assuming that if he hasn't appeared by MaxDate = 1861/06/30 he isn't appearing at all? If so, why?

[Citizen X]

Because the event is written like that.
When the engine reads the Conditions section of the event and game date is outside min/maxdate, it will not execute it.

So, no, it will not appear anymore, unless you alter file USA Events.sct or write an own event.

[Blood and Thunder Brigade]

No worries, mate. Thanks for your reply

Sadness abounds in July 1861 in New York City for there will be no future Carl Schurz Park along the East River in Yorkville (Manhattan's Upper East Side).

I've only had it happen once in maybe 7 or 8 turns playing as the Union. It doesn't seem to be a regular occurrence.
