Since I don't play in Europe I mostly expect flavour events to be either useless or actively bad. The occasional "historical thing happens, have 25 admin points or whatever" ones are nice.
I'm not sure. At least Kilwa's event pretender stacks are manageable.But why are you playing Orissa? Rotw isn't interesting. Go play Russia! They get Free Colonies™ and Free Space Marines™! Only $9.99!
I really despise how they've designed the rotw events. Incas and Aztecs get some amazingly awful ones too. Are there more entries in this saga, @bbqftw?
That's always a rule #1Also, always read the relevant event files when you begin a campaign.
What's that one?Who remember the 6/6/6 Native Reform trap

Though with the exception of Castilian civil war you would get the impression that succession crises were exclusive to non-European tags...
I'm not sure which you're referring to; I actually like the El Dorado events a lot. Inti and Nahuatl religion events give lots of free stab, free development, 100-tradition generals... some stabhits and rebels too, but the stab boosts are weighted a little more common. Of the events unique to Aztec and Cusco/Inca, the only really bad negative ones I can think of are the altepetl revolts for Aztec (annoying, I'll grant you that) and the death of Huayna Capac (the rebels are intimidating, but it's actually a really good event because you're guaranteed a choice between two kings with boosted stats).
Lastly, given that we have an extreme lack of reported script bugs right now I'd very much appreciate if you and others would take the time to report things that look outright wrong (such as at least the rebel sizes in this event, 7 is not a number we should ever use with the current base size) in the bug forums (preferably with a savegame). I understand it can be hard to find the time to do so and it is by no means expected or required but we cannot fix what we do not know to be broken and it'd certainly be the most efficient way to get changes to upcoming patches.
Oh, I found a rebel size bug as well. I'll go right ahead and post it in the bug forum. Thanks!
Uh isn't that historically accurate and represents that Pirate Captain from Brittany that swore revenge on the french after she was betrayed by them?edit: Ireland/GB even has an event that is basically "this pirate lady is ruining our everything, what do we do?" and you get to hire her as an advisor or an admiral with no drawbacks

Uh, no. This is a game. This is, in fact, a game with a mechanism dealing with monarchs dying, either as generals or not. Just like with the Burgundian Inheritance, the Shadow Assassins arbitrarily reaping your king is bullcrap.Nice read, historically accurate nevertheless.
