How "historical" is FTG?

[Darkrenown]

Hey all, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find any mention of it in the FAQ or the DDs, so here goes:

How strictly historical are the events in FTG? Will Spain always go bankrupt on a certain day? Is there still that Austria event where you have to give all your western provinces to SPA? Are the triggers still just dates or do events only fire when the situation merits them?

This is only a matter of triggers and it was already the case in EU2... Of course, with FTG enhanced script engine, it will be easier to control events firing only if desired context is present and for actions or commands related to this context.

Cool. I know it's just a matter of triggers, but I was never an AGCEEP player, so I don't know how you feel about "X happens on this date everytime!"-type events. Sounds like they're more dynamic now though, so that's good.

I remember reading in one of the diaries that there are three settings...

I saw that, and it's a nice feature, but it's not quite what I meant as I was wondering about event triggers rather than AI reactions to events
