Is it me or am I ALWAYS getting the -10% pop. outcome on that decision. Is something broken?

I have got +10% a couple of times.
Edit: Sorry I was confused with population growth but you always get that.

Yeah, seems to be bugged. If you swap the effects round you'll always get the increase instead.
Edit: although Basvv says it works, checking some more then.
edit2: I always seem to get the first effect, if both ARE possible the odds don't appear to be 50/50.

I've tried 12 times now, and everytime its the -10% that has happened. I had also this effect with the Demo.
Pirate Probability Time!
1/2^12 -> a chance of 1 in 4096 for any given series of 12, yarr.
If you fancy getting the good version all the time, it's in decisions/nationalfocusprovince. Find the population_census decision and just reverse the random_list bit so it looks like this:
If it turns out not to be bugged and we're just terribly unlucky it won't change it
Code:
random_list = {
10 = { multiply_citysize = 1.1}
10 = { multiply_citysize = 0.9}
}If it turns out not to be bugged and we're just terribly unlucky it won't change it
That cultural festival decision seems likewisely bugged - it always gives prestige.
If the bug is as observed, that the random_list command always returns/executes the first element in the list, then that command will have to be fixed by devs. For a "field expedient" quick fix by users though, one could:
1) find all occurrences of random_list in the events, and for each occurrence:
2) aggregate the effects in the list into one set of averaged effects (e.g. if there is a 90% of +10 & a 10% chance of +20, then make it a 100% chance of (.9*10 + .1*20) = +11.
In this way, the events would have the intended gameplay effects, the same as they would have with a properly functioning random_list command (over many iterations) although without the randomness.
