Hope the game will be event-driven like EU2. The biggest drawback of HoI (apart from the lame AI 
) was the lack of events

There must be events to constrain actions. And probably an option to turn off all events.
I loved how EU2's events added a real flavor to the game. It wasn't just a strategy game based on world history, it helped it feel like a historical simulation(with very ahistorical results. )
I think the lack of events hurt HOI, and I hope that Victoria is filled with them, even flavor ones that don't make game altering decisions. It would be a shame if it was like HOI with the small number availible.

yes evernts are great - not only historical - but random too add a lot of flavour to the game.. and make it different each time - I remeber how with EU2 the stability + increased roits stuff nearly made my austrain empire fall apart...
The best thing about the events is that they provide each country with a different flavour. So they increase the re-playability of the game...
Random events are the sould of real games. They simulate the "friction" of real life.
Indeed. The option to turn off historical events but keep the random ones would make more sense.
Why not simply have a couple of checkboxes for each? That way everyone would get what they want. Want to play a game with historic events, but no random events? Go ahead!
The best thing in my opinion about the Paradox events system is that it makes the gaming experience feel....less worthless. it is a not a completely waste of time since you actually learn something by them.
Indeed, I don't see how people can be opposed to this.Originally posted by Galleblære

Playing with events is the historical equivalent of one of those old chose your own adventure books that I read as a kid. Where the plot would go different ways depending on which option or page you picked next.
Events rock!
Events rock!
Lots of events! Yes, yes, yes
And the option to turn on/off historical and unhistorical events would be nice - but not nescessary.
