Historical Events Altered

I think that particular event also has an in-game trigger: the building of a university. I don't think it can happen until both the game date has happened and the first university is constructed. You can't build universities until after gunpowder is developed, so that might also be restricting it.

I think you're right.

He should paste this building ID in his desc_strat.txt in one or all of his settlements. This should do the trick.

building
	{
		type academic university
	}

Copy and paste it exactly like you see it. Then try it again.

Also bear in mind if that does work, to actually GET to the New World you'll need carracks, which are only available from the top level docks and after gunpowder. So you'd need to set gunpowder invention to the same time and also give one of your starting regions a level 4 dock.

True.

Copy and paste this too so you can sail over to the americas. It's the level four port, and the docklands for the hell of it.

building
	{
		type port naval_drydock
	}
        building
	{
		type sea_trade docklands
        }

Good luck.

Why not just add mercenary carracks? That's a simpler solution IMHO.
