Italian Colonial Leaders

[powloon1]

Hi I was wondering if anyone knows when the first colonial leaders (1*) for Italy turn up?

Looking at the DB there is a Giuseppe Sapeto with a date in of 1850 and in the Leaders System file there is an entry against Italy for 1850 Colonial Special to add one colonial leader. Is this something that is supposed to happen by event (can't see anything in the Italian event files)?

Anyone?

I'm guessing that Giuseppe Sapeto is supposed to be added early to S-P based on the date in and date out for this leader. Can someone point me in the right direction script wise for activating this leader?

This is probably a leaders pool error. We haven't even changed that in our PBEM game, maybe it is worth it. Put the following script in the Plugin 1850 folder:

Code: Select all

SelectFaction = $CMN
SelectRegion = $Lazzio
StartEvent = Colonial Leaders for Italy|1|1|NULL|NULL|$Lazzio|NULL
Actions
 SelectFaction = $ITA
  ChangeLeadersPool = 1;2
EndEvent

This event will add the possibility of having two 1-star Generals for the Italian faction, the turn after it was executed.

Thanks Kensai I will give it a go.

I was wondering if you knew if there are any events linked to the Leaders System file? The reason I ask is Italy, Prussia and Austria seem to be the only countries with a ColonialSpecial entry in the Leaders System File (this is from the db provided on the modding sub forum) which seems to suggest each of these countries gets a least one colonial leader from the 1850s.

Obviously its nothing major I am just interested to know if Italy/S-P is supposed to get this leader or not (I don't want to give myself any unfair advantage) and if so why it didn't work.

Just to be sure how it works - it will replace existing pool with given number or add it to existing pool ?

I think the leaders pool of Italy for 1-star Generals is not set at all. This will set it to two max. Yes, this commands ADDS the value to what you had. So if 0 was before, it will now be two.
Most AGEOD commands exist in two flavors: set or change. Set sets the value, change changes from the previous. For ongoing games change is better as it accumulates previous fixes or upgrades/downgrades.

Come to think of it, I believe we should run this command for our Italian PBEM game as well.
