The court was inclined to do nothing at all, even though that might limit the long term growth of the region. The next most popular option, put forward by the church and inspired by the kingdoms of Castille, Aragon, and Portugal, was simply to expel the Turks, although this would come at a great cost to the local economy. While bureaucrats liked such a simple solution, the military thought it would be far better to resettle the area with Hellenes drawn from the excess population of Constantinople. Finally, a minority of intellectuals wondered why the Turks couldn't simply be accepted as valued subjects of the Emperor."

Adana should not get one of these events because it starts orthodox and should either a) start Armenian (my thought) because of the massive Armenian migration into the area and their continuing dominance of local life until the genocides of the early 20th c. or b) switch to the culture of its owner (i think MKJ's thought) because of the cosmopolitan mix of the region.

Note also the change to Sivas and Angora to Armenian instead of to Greek if the Turks are purged. I know MKJ is in favor of some nebulous 'Phrygian' culture, but it's hard enough keeping the ones we have :) - especially when some of the Egyptian events call for a new Coptic culture.

Turkish refugee events

In EEP and AGCEEP there is only one copy of these events which are triggered for each province. Shouldn't each province have its own event? or can you retrigger already used events? Lord knows it would save some scripting on events like the Crown Prince one, above

Armenia

Here's another event series long overdue.

Note that historically, the generals and emperors of Armenian descent tended to be from those families deported into Macedonia. The Armenians were invaluable because they were nearly always at war and never lost sight (as the Poli bureaucrats so often did) of the precariousness of the Empire's position. They were the backbone of Imperial cavalry, but had a tendency to spark rebellions for independence, to feud amongst themselves, and to touch off civil wars in a quest for the diadem. In other words, Armenia isn't really the BYZ promised land some players tend to think of... :D

In addition, the Germans' church would be autocephalous under its own Patriarch, follow its own practices, and be protected against Habsburg and Papist predation by the growing might of New Rome and Moscow.
The German nobility was entranced by the idea of a legitimate and independent church church under its own German head (though Luther declined this honor) but was somewhat suspicious of Roman designs and hesitant from a long cultural distaste for the Greeks and their Church."

Either choice will lead to massive riots in our Arab lands and ceaseless war with Muslim neighbours.

The Great Arab Revolt series

This is a great set of events by Louis-Philippe that badly needs to be included. There may not have been an infinite number of problems created by an Imperial recovery of Judea and Egypt, but there would've been this baby:

The missionary work against Islam, the Greek colonization of the Middle East has spread an anti-Roman sentiment throughout the region. In 1649, an attack on an Arab town in Palestine by Greek pilgrims finally put the fire to the powder. The remnants of Arab society in Palestine rose against the occupying Greek. From there, the revolt spread through the Orient, from Syria to Egypt, setting the Empire awash in fire and blood. The Empire reacted immediately - gathering new troups in the Balkans and sending orders for deployed troops to massacre the revolters. The Empire was in chaos."

He undertook an extremely vigorous reform of church discipline and ritual with a view to purging accretions and eccentricities from the Russian rites. His reforms, particularly his correction of service books from the Greek (1654), created a schism in the church and inspired the formation of a major opposition sect, the Raskolniki, who retained the older usages banned by Nikon. Heterodox sects such as the Dukhobors formed and attached themselves to the Raskolniki to avoid persecution. By 1658, Nikon had aroused sufficiently powerful opposition to bring about his banishment, and in 1666 he was deposed and degraded. He was a figure unique in Russian church history, for he opposed any interference by the state in church affairs and considered the two institutions to be distinct and separate.

Anything from Moldavian history? Do there need to be UKR events? or doesn't Poland/Hungary usually take care of the poor MOLives? In the Russian events, I gave the Empire a claim on MOL in the Polish Partitions, since no one's left to be a strong defender except Russia - would she care?
