PON2-subforum improve Events - ending Balkan wars

[Christophe.Barot]

You probably noticed wars without result tend to drag uselessly some (very long time) time
here is a first step to end balkan wars - short of it, first balkan war never ends by the time the Great war erupts, and second Balkan war never happens, so we need to set events ending it

I based myself on the San Stefano and Congress of berlin written by PhilippeS - in an other field, having a global peace (with allies and not individually) order would be handy, and so would be possibility (like exists in some Paradox games) - bot those require I guess a heavy programming work from Pocus, who is, ... as usual, ... VERY busy, and I don't know how heavy the task can be, so ...

this, and the other scripts are fantastic additions - I'll test them out in the very near future.

I've been going over the AI wars every now and then and ending a batch of them with some sort of imposed resolution but this is far more elegant.

[Christophe.Barot]

thanks a lot
plese feel free to submit any improvements - or give the poor novice I am any technical hints you have

I hope those, once totally completed (text, images, I really am waiting for a few technical hints) will be added to the official patches - even (I understand they will slow processing time even further) as optional scripts - I have seen there is some room planned for that sort of things in the menu

[Kensai]

Superb work. Indeed the conditions are a little bit too many and strict, in my opinion. Are you sure they can realistically be reached? On top of that, there is a only 15% chance they will fire, even if all is met, including date constrains. When we decide conditions we have to be quite flexible to allow players alternate reality approaches that might not lead to the historical conditions.

The first Balkan War ended when the Ottoman Empire lost and the second when Bulgaria lost. Simple. How can this be abstracted in conditions without making it too convoluted?

The first Balkan War ended when the Ottoman Empire lost and the second when Bulgaria lost. Simple. How can this be abstracted in conditions without making it too convoluted?

I've got to the stage in my game where these wars are taking place. It maybe my game, but Bulgaria is big and nasty compared to the others (of course this is the current major fear of the British right). So the first war ended with the merry Bulgars holding Istanbul. In that the peace treaty as per script was great, it gave a real rationale for round #2. Now in round #2, as things stand, greater Bulgaria spans from Athens to Belgrade. I think I'll amend Christophe's script to reflect this in the peace treaty.

I think we have to decide if these wars matter in their own right or as stepping stones to WW1. I realise that sounds dismissive but I'm thinking in game terms not in real human misery and aspirations. If they matter, I still think its good to give the AIs a helping hand to end it all and the question is whether or not its worth coming up with something that allows some identification of the victor (relative power at the end?) and thus the attribution of the spoils. I'm tempted to give Bulgaria the southern provinces (Kosovo and Nis) but since this war won't involve a player does it really matter? Equally, if Serbia has just had an utter thumping it might be more or less likely to tweak Austria's nose.

If this peace is key to the WW1 chain (and one reason that was breaking was due to the First war not ending), then I'd go with imposition and close to history. In any standard game of PoN this is a war with no major powers.

A second issue is to rethink the conditions in the WW1 chain. A human played Ottoman empire may well win the 1879 war (so no Bulgaria) and/or the First Balkan War. There is a lot that intersects and I come back to my view that the Balkans were likely to upset the balance of Europe, not least by opening up opportunities for Russia and problems for Austria. Consequentially that part of the Congress of Vienna that had seen an operating alliance between Europe's main reactionary powers started to fragment.

[Christophe.Barot]

OK, seen, will try to improve events

- more simple co,nditions : will check and discuss the point
- alternative outcome, a Turkish win and a Bulgarian win

- Bulgaria win, normally Bulgarian gains are, besides the obvious Thrakia Rumelia and Rhodopos normally won at first Balkan war : Makedonia (Nish too perhaps, but ethnic serbian, Kosovo not imho, more western, but of course is a design choice of extreme or more moderate peace) Salonika (Thrakia) and Dobrudja (actually a slice of land between varna and Dobrudja but is too small to be represented, so we have to be excessive or let Rumanian/Bulgarian border set in concrete), perhaps Adrianople too (but would have stirred Austrian and perhaps British reaction)

- 1st Balkan war Turkish win, imho just status quo as other powers would not have liked Balkan states (backward European Christian states, but still Europan and Christians giving back population to Turks, Russia obviously, Austria unwilling to give back Bosnia, and even Germany and Britain would not have supported the idea, but balance and status quo was ok - here too, a design choice to make, based on history and play balance

the Kossovo area and Sandjak of Novi Pazar are now correctly referenced

for Kensai : agree, let's discuss conditions,
to enlighten my choice , I tried to simplify but still keep consistant :

first Balkan war, I consider that

a) event follow first balkan war, so all Turkish enemies did not make peace (you know like me AI offering peace terms, whatever the situation, is rare and long, plus Ottoman have nothing to annex (Great powers would not allow - Balkanic states are Europeans and christians, best ottoman can achieve is a status quo) - so still at war

b) I consider possible intervention of great powers, or possible neutrality, or intervention of only one of them, great powers able to intervene (I discarded italy to simplify, Italy will most likely use diversionary war to go for Lybia anyhow) are only two, Russia, and Austria, as they have clients (Britain or Germany could intervent if Constantinople was threatened but no risk, before Constantinople falls, peace will fire), obviously Russia to weaken Ottoman and support cliant states, Austria if Germany is allied with Ottoman, to weaken Serbs and possibly Rumanians, and counter Russia :

therefore condition B is rather simple, victorious peace happens as soon as Russian+Balkanic states have more troops in Balkans than Ottoman + Austria - if Austria and Russia are neutrals, they won't have troops in Balkans (except if they garrison their allies while remaining neutral, so I won't enter these complexities)

c) as those conditions are easy to meet and straightforward (as Russian player be sure I'll have 2 or 3 armies positionned in Rumania and serbia even before a single shot is fired (and 2-3 others in caucasus, be sure too) I just add a % just to avoid a Russian player snaps ant it automatically fall in Balkan states turn one without even a fight (the Austrian player is able to delay forever just by moving to Bosnia-Herzegovina "en masse") - if they are not met, either we have a status quo, or chain reaction provoked an Austro Russian war (not necessarily the big war, in my current games, Russia and Germany are allied, and AI is not autonomous enough - or strong enough to play a balance - in my Russian game, Germany did not form, and my forces match the German+Austrian ones with better generals, trained in China and Turkey, in my present German game, Russia was bled white by French in Crimean war and never recovered, 2d military power, now third as the British just mobilized in ahuge military effort is the British, and as he occupies Khiva I suspect the weak Russian have other business than attacking another of my allies)

2 d balkan war, ditto but with Bulgaria, I expect :
a) war happened and is too short to get a peace
b) I didn't count the turks, who historically attacked back Bulgaria (would complexify alliances as likely common allies of germany or Austria)
c) I expect Russia not meddling there (odds are such that I wouldn't bet a cent on Bulgaria (but Loki had a different outcome); all Balkanic states are potential enemies; AUS and TUR normally not involved) but AUS potentially willing to save Bulgaria (countering Serb Rumanian irredentism too), so I just count divisions, when it is over it is over.

Loki, I thought/think unlikely event Bulgaria would win (so no interference of Russia I guess, as Russia is more likely to be allied with Serbia and Rumania), without Austria (and against Turks) I can write a "Bulgarian Triumph" outcome, giving Bulgaria Makedonia, Salonika and Dobrudja (just have Bulgarian forces superior to Serb+Montenegrine+Rumanian+Greek),
I won't count Austrian then, as if territorial changes occur due tio Austrian army, my bet is that Russian will jump in, and we're back to Austro/Russian war, or perhaps even great war

but if you already did, please feel free to post here (I'll make suggestions if see fit)

cheers and happy new year to all

Hi Christophe, here's a Bulgarian win version. I've kept very close to yours but simply flipped the NM and morale gains. I've removed the pro-German tilt in Bulgaria's relations. My view is that Bulgaria as a nation was incredibly pro-Russian and it took a Germanophile king working on nationalist/revanchist sentiments to get Bulgaria into the 'wrong' side of WW1.

As it stands yours won't end a second Balkan war that the Bulgarians are winning. I think the 1879 script gives them a very powerful army and that allows them to overwhelm the others that have to build up an army from very little - something to add to the to do list for the Balkans (script in some armed forces for Serbia et al on the eve of the First Balkan War?).

Just to add, have checked over the event files. Basically Bulgaria gets a decent size scripted army as part of the 1878/9 events but none of the others do. So as things stand Bulgaria is going to win any Second Balkan War easily. I'd suggest that the event chain for the First Balkan War be revised to give Serbia and Greece a decent (historic) army (again I am assuming an AI led countries). This improvement may also make even a human Ottoman player be prepared to settle for a status quo as in combination they will be quite formidable opponents.

[loki100]

Few more bits having just run through the end of the Second Balkan War files.

Need to replace all references to ROU with RUM

For some reason the registry operation doesn't work, both return scores return as 0, so there is no effective evaluation. Would it be easier to find a date (say 3 months in) and do an evaluation based on who owns certain provinces?

Watch out as there are some sub-events in the Turkey file, this is relevant in terms of making sure everyone ends up at peace in the end - it may also be something to think about in terms of force evaluation?

[Christophe.Barot]

yes, thanks, happened to me already, a common mistake from me, absent mindedness, ROUmanie in French, RUMania in English, my mistake, will correct this

for evaluation, did I wrote the test uncorrectly, I had copied it from events I tested in debug mode and scriptreports were normal - this should work

will test them again - there must have been a copy mistake, took them from missions

[loki100]

aye, I know its so damn easy - I had an event that wouldn't fire and it took me a day to spot I'd written 'conditions' where I should have had 'actions'. Looking over these things vastly increases my (already very substantial) respect for the Phils and their professionalism in getting these games into a playable state

[Christophe.Barot]

they indeed are great
