Is the "A Vassal is Declaring Independence" Event WAD?

[Kris Rhodes]

This event gives me two choices: "He shall pay," and "Let him go in peace."

The first one gives me 50 prestige, loses me 25 piety.

The second one gives me 25 piety, but loses me thousands in prestige.

Is this WAD? The disparity doesn't seem quite right to me. Who would ever take that second option?

I am also annoyed by the fact that it doesn't tell me which vassal just declared independence...

The event is broken, I already have reported it and it will be fixed in patch 1.06

This is the current event

character_event = {  #A vassal has declared independence.
	id = 6456

	picture = "event_claim"

	#triggered by 6452 action_b or 6453 action_b

	action_a = { #He shall pay!
		effect = { type = prestige value = 50 }
		effect = { type = piety value = -25 }
		effect = { type = random chance = 25
			effect = { type = add_trait value = vengeful }
		}
	}
	action_b = { #He may go in peace.
		effect = { type = prestige scale = -25 }
		effect = { type = piety value = 25 }
		effect = { type = random chance = 25
			effect = { type = add_trait value = forgiving }
		}
	}
}

The effect of action_b is a bug, it says, type = prestige scale = -25, this means that you lose 25 years of prestige gain (25 years * 12 months * monthly prestige), while the event should be something like this

character_event = {  #A vassal has declared independence.
	id = 6456

	picture = "event_law"

	#triggered by 6452 action_b or 6453 action_b

	action_a = { #He shall pay!
		effect = { type = prestige value = 50 }
		effect = { type = piety value = -25 }
		effect = { type = random chance = 25
			effect = { type = add_trait value = vengeful }
		}
	}
	action_b = { #He may go in peace.
		effect = { type = prestige value = -50 }
		effect = { type = piety value = 25 }
		effect = { type = random chance = 25
			effect = { type = add_trait value = forgiving }
		}
	}
}

You now lose 50 prestige with option B and gain 25 piety.

You can either wait for patch 1.06, which might take a rather long time, or fix it yourself. To do this go to

Crusader kings/db/events/realm_disruption_events.txt

search for event 6465 and modify it to the correct events.

Telling you which vassal got independent is just not possible, frustrating ? yes it is a bit, but won't be 'fixed'

I just referenced this in a previous thread and found the event, which I gladly adjusted as you suggested above. This is a very basic question, but I got an error when trying to save the adjustments which said something like "invalid file name, please check to ensure path is correct" and when I specified it said that the file is "read only" and has to be renamed. What do I need to do to correctly save (after modifying) this file?

Thanks

Thanks

First select the folder that contains all the event files,

Crusader kings/db/events

Then right click on that folder and select 'properties' at the bottom of the pop-up you see that 'read only' is selected. De select it and you now can edit the files and save them accordingly

You can also just do this per event.txt file, it can be done the same way

right-click, properties, deselect read only.

But doing it for the entire folder is easier and less work

Excellent, thanks! It was a long night...
