For each turn during which SPA has taxed Holland after the beginning
of the game as per political rule 53.19.C. the second die-roll is modified
by 1 until event 1:III occurs.
1: REVOLT OF THE UNITED PROVINCES (historical
date: 1568-1609)
(duration: until Dutch independence is recognized or the rebellion
is crushed)
1. Can only occur after the beginning of period III. Otherwise re-roll.
2. This event triggers the full effect of the reform (8:I/13:II) even
if it has not yet occurred three times.
EVENTS PHASE:
1. HOL is released of its restrictions (Campaign Game rule 6.2) becoming
a full player country. It owns its national territory (notwithstanding
who owned it previously) and can immediately deploy the following markers:
a. Manufactures: 1 instrument in DEN HAAG, 1 textile
in BRABANT, 1 metal in FRIESEN.
b. Army: 1 A-, 1 F+, 2 Ldet, gen ?2, adm ?1/3, exp
?2 and 4 levels of fortification anywhere in owned provinces (if named
leaders are due, place them instead).
2. All non-Dutch units inside HOL national territory are removed as
per normal peace procedure.
3. Place Dutch controlled revolt+ in FLANDRE and revolt- in ARTOIS,
HAINAUT and LUXEMBURG.
4. HOL techology markers are placed one box above Latin markers provided
that they do not then violate the timing of new technologies.
5. The stability status of HOL is +2. Its DTI and FTI are both 3.
6. Current HOL monarch is automatically changed to Willem of Nassau
with values 9/9/9 (roll for reign, but ignore dynastic crisis or minority).
7. ROTW sea zones known to HOL are: SEA OF AZORES, SEA OF CANARIAS,
ARGUIN BANK, BAY OF GAMBIA, GULF OF GUINEA.
8. HOL automatically declares a war to SPA with a free CB. No call
for allies can be made due to this declaration of war at this point (althoug
such allies can later join the rule as per normal rules for late joining).
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. During the first turn of the event HOL can violate the purchase
limit for naval units and buy land forces without any double or triple
price multipliers for exceeding the basic allowance.
2. As long as Willem of Nassau is HOL monarch, the leader counter W.
Nassau is regarded to represent him. The monarch counter is not in use
and the military values of the monarch are those printed on the leader
counter. The leader counter appears at the same time as the monarch (ignore
its date of appearance). If it is removed from game due to exceeding its
expire date before the monarch dies, the monarch can no longer be placed
to lead troops. While in play the leader counter W. Nassau is regarded
in all respects as a monarch counter except for the fact that it must be
placed on the map each turn as any other leaders. All units bought during
the first turn of the event and placed under W. Nassau become automatically
veteran troops.
PEACE PHASE:
1. This event can terminate in two ways:
a. SPA conquers all HOL national provinces. In this
case SPA has won the war and HOL returns to the restricted conditions of
play that affected it before the event was rolled. The event can reappear
later.
b. A peace of any kind is made between SPA and HOL.
As an additional condition to normal peace conditions SPA must recognize
the independence of HOL after which all normal rules apply and HOL has
become an ordinary player country.
2. A peace treaty between Spain and Holland cannot be made during the
same turn the revolt event occurred.
3. Any peace treaty between Spain and Holland entails an enforced peace
of 3 consecutive turns between Spain and Holland. During this period, neither
of them can declare war to the other, nor to their respective vassals.
4. After peace has been made between HOL and SPA, HOL can continue
harassing Spanish annexed Portugal (see event 7:III) until the end of period
III. During this time HOL can attack Portuguese markers in ROTW map as
if being at war with Portugal. Attacked units can defend themselves (and
the COL/TPs they are placed on), but they cannot initiate attacks, nor
can Spanish units be involved in this fighting as long as it is at peace
with HOL.
5. During the war between HOL and SPA neither side looses Stab due
to the number of turns engaged in war as per normal rules. Instead, for
being at war with each other, or with the allies of each other, they loose
the following fixed amounts:
a. Period III: SPA 1 lvl, HOL 1 lvl.
b. Period IV: SPA 2 lvl, HOL 0 lvl.
c. Period V+: SPA 3 lvl, HOL 0 lvl.
6. This applies only to the war between HOL and SPA due to this event
and to all possible allies, major or minor, that have been involved in
this particular war. For non-connected wars Stab is lost normally.
INTERPHASE:
1. SPA receives 5VPs each turn this event remains in effect. This bonus
is reduced to 2VPs during period IV and terminates in period V.
2: ARKHANGELSK AND THE MUSCOVY TRADE COMPANY
(historical date: 1584)
(duration: permanent)
1. Requires permission from RUS and ENG to take effect. Otherwise re-roll.
EVENTS PHASE:
1. The port of Arkhangelsk (to the north of the European map) is created.
It cannot be accessed by any units, but still meets the requirement of
having a port along the Atlantic Ocean for purposes of placing commercial
fleets.
2. CTZ Russia is created, but its monopoly bonus remains 5 until the
creation of St-Petersburg.
3. English commercial fleet of 4 levels is placed in CTZ Russia.
4. Muscovy Trade Company provides ENG automatically with 10 VP and
50d.
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. Until the creation of St-Petersburg ENG can use both its DTI and
FTI as modifiers to all commercial actions in CTZ Russia.
3: WARS IN INDIA (no historical date)
(duration: 1 turn)
1. This event concerns only the ROTW areas of DELHI, OUDH, BENGALE, ORISSA, CARNATIC, GUJARAT and MARATHI.
EVENTS PHASE:
1. For each Portuguese COL/TP inside these are roll a die:
5+ = one level of COL/TP and one level of fortification
is permanently lost.
10 = COL/TP and fortification is permanently lost.
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. No income of any kind is received by anyone from TPs in these areas.
4: WAR BETWEEN POLAND AND RUSSIA (historical
date: 1558-82)
(duration: until peace is made between Poland and Russia)
1. Cannot take place before period III. Otherwise re-roll.
2. Takes place only if Poland is currently inactive or removed from
play. Otherwise re-roll.
THE EVENT IF POLAND IS INACTIVE:
EVENT PHASE:
1. Poland declares war against RUS, which loses the control of Poland.
2. RUS can immediately call allies as per normal rules.
3. If this leads to declarations of war against Poland, the controller
of Poland may come to its help as per normal rules, and so on.
4. If Poland is neutral, it is in all cases played by ENG (which cannot
then come to its aid).
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. Poland receives reinforcements in offensive status for the duration
of the event.
2. If war is declared to Poland by any other state due to, or during
its war with RUS, Poland receives additional reinforcements in defensive
status and benefits from an additional leader.
THE EVENT IF POLAND IS ALREADY REMOVED FROM PLAY:
1. Provinces MAZOVIA, POSEN and KRAKOW rebel forming a new Polish state
with all its former statistics. These provinces are automatically ceded
by their previous owner(s) and all units in them are removed as per normal
rules for peace.
2. Poland declares automatically a war to the previous controller(s)
of these provinces.
3. Then proceed as with inactive Poland above but only against the
previous controller(s) of the three Polish provinces.
5: EXPANSION OF THE MOGOL EMPIRE (historical
date: 1573)
(duration: permanent)
EVENTS PHASE:
1. Areas ORISSA, GUJARAT and PUNJAB are annexed to Mogol Empire.
2. All TPs in these areas loose 2 levels.
3. Mogols declare war against all owners (or controllers by military
conquest) of COL and/or forts/fortresses in these areas.
4. The defender may call allies according normal rules.
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. Leader Akbar is added to the basic Mogol Army for the duration of
a war caused by this event.
MILITARY PHASE:
1. The Mogol A+/- and local militia must attack enemy COL/TPs in ORISSA,
GUJARAT and PUNJAB during every round until completely victorious or annihilated
as per normal rules. However, only the Mogol A+/- can move from area to
area.
6: PORTUGUESE DISASTER IN AFRICA (historical
date: 1578)
(duration: immediate)
1. Can occur only if Portugal exists as a minor country and event 7:III is not in effect. Otherwise re-roll.
EVENTS PHASE:
1. If Portugal is currently activated in a war, it immediately offers
an automatic white peace to all its enemies.
2. Whatever the current status of Portugal, each Portuguese commercial
fleet in the ROTW map looses permanently 1 lvl (even if being thus eliminated).
3. All Portuguese TPs and all fortifications in ROTW map outside Asia
loose 1 lvl (even if they are thus eliminated).
7: ANNEXATION OF PORTUGAL BY SPAIN (historical
date: 1580)
(duration: until Portugal succesfully revolts or is renounced by Spain)
1. Can occur only if Portugal is a minor power. Otherwise re-roll.
2. Can occur only if SPA is catholic. Otherwise mark the event off.
3. Can occur only after 6:III and (until turn 19) 3:III have both been
played. Otherwise re-roll. From turn 19 onwards the latter condition (event
3:III) no longer prevails.
EVENTS PHASE:
1. SPA receives a free CB against Portugal until the end of current
period. During the first turn of a war caused by this event Portugal receives
no reinforcements. If SPA achieves an unconditional victory over Portugal,
this minor is considered to have been annexed to SPA and the following
rules are applied:
PEACE PHASE:
1. Portugal is annexed to SPA. Place its political marker permanently
to AN of SPA, but do not remove its markers from play.
2. In game terms Portugal is treated as a part of SPA mainly for VP
purposes. In most other respects it becomes a special, permanent vassal
of SPA. This applies to separate wars and peace treaties, placement of
units and markers etc. and covers all aspects not specially modified in
this event description.
3. If Portugal was currently engaged in a separate war against someone
else than SPA, its enemies must immediately sign a white peace with it,
or declare war to SPA with a free CB (unless they are already at war with
SPA).
FOLLOWING TURNS:
DIPLOMACY PHASE:
1. SPA cannot voluntarily cede any part of Portugal, including COL/TPs
to other players. Neither can it sell Portuguese sea charts.
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. Portuguese territories, COL/TPs and commercial fleets are not added
to the income of SPA (except for purposes of counting domestic trade).
Insted SPA receives a fixed sum of 300d per turn for them. This sum can
later be modified as follows:
a. Periods III and IV: Deduce permanently 50d every
time Portuguese COL/TP is eliminated during these periods.
b. Period V: Deduce permanently 40d every time Portuguese
COL/TP is eliminated during this period.
c. Period VI until turn 51: Deduce permanently 30d
every time Portuguese COL/TP is eliminated during these turns.
d. From turn 51 onwards: Deduce permanently 20d
every time Portuguese COL/TP is eliminated during these turns.
The total sum can become negative in which case SPA must pay for the
difference each turn or renounce its claim on Portugal as per rules below.
2. SPA must pay for the maintanance and recruitment of Portuguese units
and fortresses as if they were Spanish units (their content remains that
of Portuguese units and they can only be placed within Portuguese territory,
including COL/TPs).
3. SPA can make administrative actions for Portuguese commercial fleets
and COL/TPs, but only by using Portuguese FTI/DTI (without the former Portuguese
bonus for ROTW actions). These actions are counted from the Spanish limit
for administrative actions (i.e. there is no separate Portuguese limit).
MILITARY PHASE:
1. SPA must pay for all campaign activations of Portuguese units separately
from Spanish units.
PEACE PHASE:
1. SPA can renounce this event at the end of any peace phase (except
on the same turn when event 4:IV occurs) loosing the control of Portugal
and 3 Stab.
a. If SPA renounces the inheritance before event
4:IV has occurred, Portugal is placed in EG of SPA until the death of current
Spanish monarch. After that, it is treated as normal minor.
b. If SPA renounces the inheritance after event
4:IV has occurred, Portugal becomes neutral and it makes a white peace
with SPA. All revolts caused by event 4:IV are removed from play and the
rebels are considered to have won.
8: THE COLLAPSE OF THE TEUTONIC ORDER (historical
date: 1560)
(duration: until all wars created by this event have ceased)
EVENTS PHASE:
1. The Teutonic Order (Latvija) is dismantled and it looses all other
provinces except Teutonic OST PRUSSIA. If OST PRUSSIA is no longer Teutonic,
the minor is removed from play.
2. Teutonic LIVONIA and ESTONIA are annexed by Sweden and Teutonic
COURLANDE is annexed by Poland. If any of these three provinces is owned
by another country, or if any country was currently at war with Teutonic
Order, both Poland and Sweden declares a separate war against such a country
unless it immediately renounces its claim to the said three provinces by
ceding them or making a white peace with the Teutonic Order. The provinces
are then divided as per above.
3. All other Teutonic provinces are annexed by their original owners.
4. Poland declares war against Sweden even if currently active elsewhere.
If both minors are controlled by the same player, he must renounce his
alliance with one of them.
5. All declarations of war at this point leads immediately to call
for allies as per normal rules. However, Teutonic Order does not take part
in any war caused directly by this event (treat all calls for help as automatic
failure).
DIPLOMACY PHASE:
1. RUS receives a temporary free CB, which can only be used against
both Poland and Sweden at the same time.
2. If no player country joins the war between Sweden and Poland, they
are regarded to wage war against each other for the next two turns without
anyone actually playing them. During this time no diplomacy can be made
on them, but if war is declared to one, the other immediately joins the
aggressor in MA status.
3. If the rulings above lead to a multiple war between three sides,
all wars are handled separately for peace purposes.
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. As long as they are involved in this event both Poland and Sweden
must roll for reinforcements in offensive attitude. Both receive an additional
bonus of +3 to die-rolls for reinforcements and automatically succeed to
get a leader.
2. From now on the basic force of the Teutonic Order is permanently
added to the basic force of Sweden as long as they own at least one province
that belonged to the Teutonic Order at the beginning of the game. This
applies even in the case the Teutonic Order continues to exist in OST PRUSSIA.
In that case the basic force for the reduced Teutonic Order is one land
Det.
PEACE PHASE:
1. After two turns, and if still being waged only between Sweden and
Poland the war between them ends in a white peace.
2. If players have been involved in this war at any point, peace is
made according normal procedure without any time restrictions. However,
former Teutonic provinces annexed by Sweden or Poland at the beginning
of the war cannot be claimed by their controlling players except in order
to give them to their respective minor ally.
9: WAR BETWEEN PERSIA AND TURKEY (*) (historical
date: 1606-1639)
(duration: until the war ends)
1. Takes place only if Persia is inactive, removed from play or already at war with TUR. Otherwise re-roll.
THE EVENT IF PERSIA IS INACTIVE:
If TUR does not own provinces that were Persian at the beginning of
the game, it may refuse the event in two ways:
1. By losing 3 Stab and 150d.
2. By surrendering immediately to Persia with a 2 lvl peace and ceding
a province bordering Persian territory.
In this case the event is marked off, but can renew later.
EVENTS PHASE:
1. Persia declares war against TUR.
2. TUR can immediately call allies as per normal rules.
3. If this leads to declarations of war against Persia, the controller
of Persia may come to its help as per normal rules, and so on.
4. If Persia is neutral, it is played by SPA (which cannot then come
to its aid).
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. Persia receives reinforcements in offensive status for the duration
of the event.
THE EVENT IF PERSIA IS ALREADY AT WAR WITH TURKEY:
EVENTS PHASE:
1. Iraq is annexed to Persia and removed from game.
2. If there is Turkish IRAQ, place there a revolt+ controlled by Persia.
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. If either of the conditions above are met with, Iraqi basic force
is added to Persian forces until the end of the event.
THE EVENT IF PERSIA IS ALREADY REMOVED FROM PLAY:
1. Provinces PERSIS, MECMED and ORMUZ rebel forming a new Persian state
with all its former statistics. These provinces are automatically ceded
by their previous owner(s) and all units in them are removed as per normal
rules for peace.
2. Persia declares automatically a war to the previous controller(s)
of these provinces.
3. Then proceed as with inactive Persia above but only against the
previous controller(s) of the three Persian provinces.
10: REVOLT IN SIERRA NEVADA (historical
date: 1568-70)
(duration: until all related revolts are suppressed or Granada minor
is created)
EVENTS PHASE:
1. Place a revolt- in non-Turkish SIERRA NEVADA. The revolt is controlled
by TUR.
DIPLOMATIC PHASE:
1. If TUR declares war to the controller of SIERRA NEVADA, it receives
5 VPs at the moment its (or its minor allies) troops arrive to the revolted
province. This does not have to be done during the current turn, but the
bonus VPs are gained only once.
MILITARY PHASE:
1. During the rebellion there exists an additional malus of 3 to all
attempts to suppress revolts in SIERRA NEVADA. An additional malus of 1
is received for each 10 Turkish or minor allied military land units inside
this province (even if besieged).
REDEPLOYMENT PHASE:
1. Revolts caused by this event can never extend beyond SIERRA NEVADA
(thus there can be a maximum of only two revolt counters for this rebellion).
INTERPHASE:
1. If the revolt survives the first turn, place a minor general in
it.
2. For each interphase this event continues TUR reveives 2 VPs. This
bonus is increased to 10 VPs per interphase whenever TUR or its minor ally
units are within SIERRA NEVADA (a war must have been declared to the controller
to do this).
3. If a revolt+ exists for a single consecutive turn in SIERRA NEVADA
without being suppressed at any point during this turn, a new minor Granada
is created and becomes a permanent VA of TUR (but the war is not necessarily
ended). See ES1 for its statistics (muslim, no diplomacy, Islam tecnology,
2 Ldet (9i/1c) basic force, no additional counters, owns SIERRA NEVADA).
The former controller of SIERRA NEVADA looses 20 VPs for the creation of
Granada.
4. If SIERRA NEVADA is later annexed by any other player than TUR,
place a revolt- in the province during the peace phase and consider this
event as having been activated again, but without the malus of 3 for suppress
of revolts. If Granada still exists (owning other provinces than SIERRA
NEVADA), consider this revolt as being controlled by it.
11: WARS OF RELIGION IN FRANCE (*) (historical
date: 1560-1598)
(duration: until the rebellion wins or is defeated)
1. This event can no longer occur after the beginning of period IV unless
it has been delayed as per three below. Delayed events only continue to
activate after that date.
2. This event can be rolled only once per turn. Otherwise re-roll.
3. If FRA is currently at war when this event occurs, the event is
delayed and its effects are not taken into account for the time being.
Until the civil war occurs FRA cannot make any declarations of war and
must always offer white peace (or worse) to all its enemies. At the end
of any following declarations of war step when FRA is at peace roll one
D10. With a roll of 5 or less the event is triggered. Subtract 1 from
the die-roll for each unsuccesful earlier attempt to activate the same
delayed event. In case there are more than one delayed events, roll separetely
for each of them.
4. This event can occur again even if an earlier one is still in effect.
In that case replay the event exactly as in the first occasion, and consider
it as an addition to the existing rebellion.
5. All political rules for civil wars (53.40) are applied to this event
unless cancelled by the following event description.
EVENTS PHASE:
1. A rebellion occurs. The areas affected depend on French religious
status:
a. protestantism: Plave revolt+ on ILE DE FRANCE,
LYONNAIS and CHAMPAGNE and revolt- on ORLEANAIS, AUXERROIS and PICARDIE.
Also roll for 2 revolts in the Revolt Table for FRA and place revolt- in
the resulting provinces. If the rebelling provinces already have two revolts
in them, re-roll on the Revolt Table instead and place revolt- in the resulting
provinces.
b. catholic/conciliarism: Roll for 5 revolts in
the Revolt Table for FRA and place revolt- in the resulting provinces.
If the rebelling provinces already have two revolts in them, re-roll on
the Revolt Table instead and place revolt- in the resulting provinces.
c. catholic/counterreform: Place revolt+ on GASCOGNE,
GUYENNE and DAUPHINE and revolt- on VENDEE, LIMOUSIN and POITOU. Also roll
for one revolt in the Revolt Table for FRA and place revolt- on the resulting
province. If the rebelling provinces already have two revolts in them,
re-roll on the Revolt Table instead and place revolt- in the resulting
provinces.
2. The revolted provinces including their fortresses become the territory
of the rebels. All French units are immediately removed from them.
3. During the turn the revolt is triggered half of the current French
treasury is removed (round down).
4. As long as there are any active or inactive rebellions the Diplomatic
value of the ruler of FRA is reduced by two (to a minimum of one).
5. If there are any currently active religious wars add +2 to French
monarch survival. This modification is not provided by the fifth religious
war caused by this event (unless there are other active religious wars
still in effect).
6. Protestant rebels are controlled by HOL, and catholic rebels by
SPA (whatever their own religion). The controlling player receives VPs
for the rebellion as if controlling a minor alone in a war.
7. As long the event is active FRA cannot move units or conduct any
diplomatic, commercial or colonial actions in the ROTW.
DIPLOMATIC PHASE:
1. As long as there are active or inactive religious wars FRA cannot
declare wars for any reason.
2. If war is declared to FRA, the rebels immediately offer a cease
fire. If it is accepted the rebellion becomes inactive (see Peace Phase
in below). The aggressor is not allowed to invade any rebel owned territory
during the war. After peace is resumed, the event can be continued in the
same way as other inactive rebellions (see below).
3. SPA, HOL and ENG can declare their support to either the rebels
or FRA according following conditions:
a. Protestant rebels: After declarations of war
step protestant ENG, SPA or HOL may declare their support to the rebels
and catholic/counter-reform ENG or SPA can declare their support to FRA.
Support for FRA provides it immediately 1 Stab (maximum).
b. Catholic rebels: After declarations of war step
catholic/counter-reform SPA or ENG may declare their support to the rebels
and protestant SPA, ENG or HOL can declare their support to FRA. Either
Support for FRA provides it immediately 1 Stab (maximum).
INCOME PHASE:
1. During an active rebellion there is an enforced trade refusal between
FRA and all the other players. This means that FRA does not provide or
receive any income from foreign trade. This involuntary trade refusal does
not provide a CB against FRA.
ADMINISTRATION PHASE:
1. As long as this event is in effect in either inactive or active
form FRA must always built up and maintain at least its army and navy basic
forces.
2. Protestants, be they rebels or FRA, always use the protestant revolt
A+/- and Det (ES1) counters, and as many revolt A+/- and Det counters as
needed in order to maintain the same number of counters as available in
regular French counters. The French counters are used by the catholic rebel
or FRA. All naval counters are always FRA units whatever its religion.
3. Rebels can choose reinforcements either in offensive or defensive
attitude. Modify the result using the income of rebel owned territory as
a basis for calculation. The following modifications also apply:
a. Protestant rebels: If HOL or ENG supports the
rebels, add 2 to the dieroll (3 in case both are supporting).
b. Catholic rebels: If SPA supports the rebels,
they receive an additional roll on either offensive or defensive attitude.
4. During any active or inactive protestant revolt leaders Henry IV
and Coligny (ES1) are regarded rebel leaders and placed accordingly. During
any active or inactive catholic revolt leaders Guise (both) and Montmorency
(ES1) are regarded rebel leaders and placed accordingly. Leader Henry IV
becomes active when the rebellion is rolled for the fifth time even if
its date has not yet arrived.
5. At the end of the administration phase on the turn in which this
event has been activated (and even if there already exists other active
or inactive rebellions) the rebels make the following tests by rolling
D10:
For each FRA A+/- and Dets:
7+ = the unit in question revolts. It is replaced
with a rebel unit and moved inside rebel territory by the controller of
the rebellion.
Modifications: Catholic/counter-reform FRA provides a modification
of 1 to the dieroll; all units placed under FRA monarch counter receive
a modification of 2 to the dieroll.
For each FRA N+/- and naval Dets:
7 = the unit in question is eliminited.
8 = the unit is replaced with a pirate- in CTZ France.
9 = the unit is replaced with a HOL unit and placed
in a HOL port.
10 = the unit is replaced with a ENG unit and placed
in an ENG port.
Modifications: Both protestant and catholic/counter-reform FRA provides
a bonus of +2 to the dieroll.
For each FRA commercial fleets:
7 = the fleet becomes inactive. It brings no income
and cannot be upgraded. It defends itself with a free medium investment
against all competition. After the event ends, the levels of an inactive
commercial fleet return to play at the rate of one level per turn.
8 = the fleet looses one level, which is given either
to HOL or ENG in the same STZ/CTZ (choose randomnly, but only if both are
eligible to receive the lost levels).
9 = the fleet looses two levels, which is given
either to HOL or ENG in the same STZ/CTZ (choose randomnly, but only if
both are eligible to receive the lost levels).
10 = the fleet is unavailable as with the result
of 7 above. Also, a pirate- is placed in its STZ/CTZ.
Modifications: Catholic/counter-reform FRA provides a malus of 1 to
the dieroll.
For each unnamed general and admiral:
8+ = the unnamed leader in question becomes a rebel.
If an admiral, it can be placed in one of the pirates caused by the event
(chosen by the controller).
Modifications: Protestant FRA provides a malus of 1 to the dieroll.
For each COL/TP:
1 = It becomes temporarily owned by either protestant
ENG (first choise) or HOL (second choise). Ignore the result if there are
no protestant players or if no-one is eligible to reach the COL/TP due
to lack of known areas to connect it to Europe (knowledge of the actual
province in which the COL/TP is placed is provided). Income from the COL/TP
is turned over to the new owner until the end of the event, but it is then
returned to FRA.
2 = It becomes temporarily catholic SPA (or catholic
ENG, if there is protestant SPA). Ignore the result if there are no catholic
players or if no-one is eligible to reach the COL/TP due to lack of known
areas to connect it to Europe (knowledge of the actual province in which
the COL/TP is placed is provided). Income from the COL/TP is turned over
to the new owner until the end of the event, but it is then returned to
FRA.
3-4 = It looses permanently one level, but not if
this would eliminate it.
Modifications: Catholic/counter-reform FRA provides a malus of 1 to
the dieroll.
All other results have no effect. All commercial fleet levels temporary
lost, or COL/TPs temporary under the control of another player can be returned
(as described above) during any administration phase in which there are
no active rebellions in FRA.
MILITARY PHASE:
1. Attempts to suppress the revolts are affected by the malus of 1
due to civil war status and also the following modifiers:
a. Protestant rebels: If HOL or ENG supports the
rebels, add a malus of 1 to the dieroll.
b. Catholic rebels: If SPA supports the rebels,
add a malus of 1 to the dieroll.
2. Foreign troops can exceptionally be used by either side of the civil
war under following conditions.
a. Protestant rebels: If HOL or ENG supports the
rebels, each supporter can send one stack to aid the rebels. If SPA supports
FRA, it can send one stack to aid FRA. All territory conquered by these
auxiliaries become rebel/FRA owned.
b. Catholic rebels: If SPA supports the rebels,
it can send one stack to aid the rebels. If HOL or ENG support FRA, each
supporter can send one stack to aid FRA. All territory conquered by these
auxiliaries become rebel/FRA owned.
4. Rebels automatically own all provinces they conquer during the rebellion.
The same goes for FRA.
REPEPLOYMENT PHASE:
1. If there is an active rebellion and FRA has not suppressed any revolts
this turn one level of Stab is removed during the revolts extension step.
PEACE PHASE:
1. If rebels are victorious FRA changes religion to either protestantism
or catholic/counter-reform according the religion of the rebels. All revolts
are removed and the event ceases (but can still reappear).
2. The rebels are destroyed if they loose all revolts and owned provinces.
3. Inactive rebellions:
a. If neither of these conditions apply, FRA may
attempt a truce with the rebels. Truce is handled in the same way as a
white peace with a minor power. If is succeeds, the rebellion becomes inactivate
until FRA declares the truce has ended during any following war declarations
step, or until the event is rolled again, in which case the truce is terminated
by the rebels. In principle it is possible that rebellion continues in
inactive state throughout the entire game.
b. When rebellion becomes inactive both sides retain
the territory they own and all military units are withdrawn as per normal
rules for peace. All revolts stay as they are, but cannot spread or be
suppressed. However, FRA looses only the income of rebel owned territories,
not those in which there are inactive revolts.
c. As long as rebellion remains inactive it is handled
in a similar way as a neutral minor and does not provide VPs for its current
controller. It still remains part of FRA and war cannot be declared to
it except by FRA.
4. If FRA has managed to destroy current rebellion(s) without new ones
occurring for the next two turns, the event is terminated permanently and
can no longer occur (mark off if rolled). This applies only during period
III and only if there are currently no inactive rebellions.
5. After the rebellion has occurred for the fifth time and if leader
Henry IV is active (on either side) the French player can surrender to
the rebels and the event is terminated. This costs him 10 VP and 1 Stab.
In this case French religion becomes catholic/conciliatory.
6. If FRA remains either catholic/conciliatory or protestant after
this event has terminated permanently, and if leader Henry IV has not died,
he becomes automatic heir to the current monarch with values 9/9/9 and
a reign length of 6 turns.

20 VPs. It also looses the control of Scotland and can then make no diplomacy
on it until the end of period.

of this revolt (as listed in ES1 rule 7.2.A) is FRA, HOL, TUR, ENG, RUS,
SPA. However, the revolt cannot be controlled by the controller of Genoa,

2. Genoa immediately offers white peace to any enemy currently engaged
in war with it. From now on, it cannot declare war on anyone as long as
the event lasts.
3. This event is treated as a civil war in Genoa. Thus the controllers
of Genoa and the revolt are both allowed to send their own troops (maximum
one stack) to aid their side in it. If no-one controls Genoa at present,

in it. Genoa receives reinforcements and can use its troops as if activated
in a war.
REDEPLOYMENT PHASE:
1. This revolt never extends during the redeployment phase.

control of a minor power alone at war. They do get (and loose) VPs related
to military actions, if applicable.

1. If the revolt survives the first turn, place a minor general in
it (ES1: use Sampierro, if he is available).
2. If the revolt survives four turns, a new minor country Corsica is
created and the rebellion is over. See ES1 for the statistics of Corsica
(neutral, catholic, no diplomacy, latin tecnology, 1 Ldet (10i) basic force,
no reinforcements, owns CORSICA).

fill the former Sibir counters and can be placed in any of the revolted
provinces.
MILITARY PHASE:
1. Rebels using Sibir counters cannot draw supplies from native territories
the same way as natives do, but must do so either from captured forts/fortresses
or from the revolt counters, which they can use as supply bases.
2. Rebels using Sibir counters can move also outside their original
provinces.
3. Rebel natives and Sibir units automatically try to destroy Russian
COL/TPs in provinces they occupy at the end of a full round, if these are
not protected by Russian units or forts/fortresses. Roll D10: 7+ the COL/TP
is destroyed.
REDEPLOYMENT PHASE:
1. Revolts caused by this event never extend during the redeployment
phase.
