Country event

Fire this event with the event command and the event ID mercantilism_events.3.

What happens

We strive to keep the our military strong, modern and domestically supported, but sometimes our priorities end up in conflict with each other. Lacking the rich iron mines of our neighbors, some of our grander plans for future military development will not be possible as soon as we might wish. Increasing imports is a tempting option, but relying on foreign support might compromise our trade policies... although a knife in the back of our neighbor would be all the more brilliantly insidious if made from their own steel.

Player choices

When this event fires, Importing Iron presents these options:

  • We need imported iron for our fist.
  • We need to rely on our own resources. Heart matters more than iron.
