### Flavour Events
- Allow the "Fall of Novgorod" event to fire for the player as well
- England and France are now locked into HYW with unique cb for both side. English CB requires them winning more battles and the French requires them to recovering their lost land from English. Upon reaching 65 warscore requirement, they can enforce a Treaty. Those are the all available treaties:
- Treaty of Brétigny Eng: If the English holds on to their gain and keep Aquitaine from French occupation and ransom Jean II, they get their OTL spoils of war.
- Treaty of Brétigny Fra: If France successfully turns the tide of war, then they get to return to status quo.
- Treaty of Rouen - This is a subsequent treaty for England should they won Treaty of Brétigny. They will be able to take Normandy, Alencon and Anjou.
- Treaty of Bruges - This is a counter treaty for the French. This treaty can be activated after Treaty of Brétigny or Treaty of Rouen is signed. Effectively this reduce English Aquitaine to the Boreadux and Labourd and all normandy. Once France reconvers Alencon and Anjou, they will be greeted with events to restore those royal dukedoms if they no longer exists. Failure to do so will incur nobility wraths.
- Treaty of Troyes - This is another OTL treaty. This can be activated after Treaty of Rouen or Treaty of Bruges. This is the penultimate treaty for English victory. This treaty will trigger some powerful reforms inline with Charles VII's reforms for the French resurgence.
- Treaty of Arras - This is another OTL treaty. This can be activated after Treaty of Troyes. If Burgundy has got an alliance with England, this will nullify it and cede Picardy and Artois to them. France gets to recover Northern France.
- Treaty of Picquigny - This is the French victory treaty. They will boot out English from France forever and should France occupied Calais, they can also get it too.
- Treaty of Orlean - This is English victory treaty. They have three options here depends on the circumstances of their victory.
- If they are allied to Burgundians, they can offer some land to Burgundy, atm Champagne, Picardy, Artois, Bourbon, Lyonnais, Provence.
- If they are not allied, there will be no land for them to cede.
- NO other CBs should be available to them as this would be hard to track and difficult for one side to win

- Rework HYW post war possibilities
- English player gets some new events regarding their new success
- Which city is their new realm's capital? London or Paris? AI heavily in favour of Paris ofc.
- What are the legal position for English holdings in France now that they are also King of France? Series of events forcing English player to confirm if their newly conquered territories are in fact French.... Calais, Normandy, Aquitaine and so on.
- Who should rule from where? Given the logistic challenge, would they naturally return to their French roots and disgard their English subjects? Send an uncle to rule France in their name? or just plainly doesn't care about these foreigners and keep Englishness?
- Anglois culture can only happen if Plantagenet King stays in Paris and return to their French roots.

- Lancaster setup
- Lancaster is a playable tag. More rework will follow for WotR and the overthrow of Richard II.

- Misc
- If French player don't try to ransom their King, they too will suffer consequences
- However, if the English player are too greedy in wanting Normandy and Aquitaine in one go, they will allow the French to unit behind the Dauphin Charles and fight back.
- Jean II also will most likely die by 1364 so his value will diminish if kept too long
- France no longer can form AFU as this is a bit weird. AFU is solely designed for English victory not really useful for French domination of Isles

- HYW Events expansion
- War of two Peters
- French can send Betrand to Spain to help Trastamara and if Trastamara won, Charles V gets a better general back.
- In turn, Pedro of Castile can call in the Black Prince to help too by promising to cover the wages for english troops.
- Upon a battle victory with decent warscore, Pedro will break his word to write off his promise. Black Prince will return home empty handed and drown in debts.
- Black Prince was forced to tax heavily his Gascon subjects to maintain his position. However, this heavy headniess caused Gascon lords to lodge a complaint to Charles V who was no longer their Feudal lord as per treaty of Brétigny.
- However, as part of the original promise, Pedro gave his two daughters as hostage to the English for payment guarantee. John of Gaunt and Edmund of Langley married both daughters and thus a possible English claim to Castilian throne.
- Both Aragon and Portugal can claim Castilian throne should they wish from events.
- Portugal indeed did so in our timeline leading to Fernandine Wars.

- Breton changes
- A special Breton war cb created that will stop AI white peacing in some circumstances
- If English Brétigny Treaty is enforced and Montfort won, they will have to cede Brest to the English
- As a result, Breton barons resents English presence in the duchy.
- Breton Duke can now offer his service to French king in exchange to get Brest back
- However, should the relationship with French ever turn south, Breton can then offer Saint-Malo or Brest back to English and get an alliance.
- Blois victory will make them an appanage of France.
- Noteable Breton m,ilitary leader Oliver Clisson who later became Constable of France

- Italian related events
- Valentina Visconti
- She was the consort of Duke of Orlean. In her marriage contract, it was stipulated that should Visconti male line went extinct, her desendent shall inherit Duchy of Milan. When Louis XII as Duke of Orlean inherited the throne, he claimed the duchy as a Frenhc possession.
- Ambroise Repulic is still highly likely to reject Orlean claim.
- Very small chance for Milan to choose otherwise. France can expect greater possibilities if they are allied to Milan
- Jeanne I of Naples
- Fixed incorrect heir setup at the start of the game. Changed it to her husband
- Her husband died before her. She being childless and disliked her Durazzo cousins, named Duke of Anjou as heir. However, Charles of Durazzo backed a different Pope during schism and usurped her throne.
- Naples will have a choice to choose between Louis and Charles. Choose Louis will make Naples to become a union of Anjou and swpan rebels. Choose Charles will only lose Provence.
