Friends/Rivals Events?

[nitroholic]

I rarely ever see any events relating to friends or rivals so i decided to check out the event folder. To my surprise there are quite a lot in the friends/rivals_eventsfilev file. I've never had any of these events fire; such as "Son seeks revenge for his father", "You've made friends with another child in the court", and "Flirtatious girl - new friend or rival?"

Just curious, does anyone else ever see any events about friends/rivals?

I also see not many of them... I wish they would be more likely to appear. And I want a Friend and a Rival section in the character screen.

"You've made friends with another child in the court"

Sounds like CK1

Oh yes... And CK1 was much better with all the friends and rivals...

Yeah, these don't happen anywhere near as often as they should.

And then should be more of them.

But first, more often.

Most of those events happen for children and concern getting friends/rivals, and there are very few follow-ups where they (friends/rivals) would in some way interact. Moreso a lot of friends/rivals are just landless courtiers that may disappear from the court once they marry/gain land. I remember having a rival as a child Byzantine Emperor but it was just an event where I gained a rival and a lot later an event where he died. Ocassionally I discover that my ruler has a friend, but, since the interface has no place for friends, rivals and lovers, it's something that is hard to even find out about.

Unfortunately as Me_ said most of them appear to happen during childhood, which is a waste since, well, most times you don't get to play as a kid; and even if the friendship/rivalry survives with your adult character, there's' no way to figure out who your friends/rivals are. THe Additional Objectives mod did friends/rivals and notifying you of such pretty well, but it's only been recently updated by someone else and hasn't been tested extensively.
