I took 4 provinces from Manchu and....

[Charles555nc]

and...
in the next 6 months...

2 events taking away 80 ducats (I earn less than 2 ducats per month) or else I lose stability, destroyed my savings and gave me pretty much 0 benefit (5 prestige, 5 legitimacy)
comet shows up -1 stability
military school argue -1 stability
20 units of rebels, with free generals
King dies, regency, pretender rebels show up

The original war was won by me, easily, against the hard ai, so the I guess Paradox feels punishing me with "Random" events is a good way to create a game...you know, instead of improving the AI.

O and 0% conversion per month on those confucian provinces...because you know thats fun too.

The events are random, all that happened here was you getting wrecked by RNG; creating events has nothing to do with AI.

 

[Thund91]

You're probably over 100 overextension, which brings about a ton of bad events.

So...your fault.

Damn paradox causing your bad luck, this is obviously a plot to get you to buy more DLC to fund the NSA/Aliens/Illuminati.

If you really think these events are random, my last ten games are all the same...win a war, (50% OE not 100%) and boom Comets and Kings dying, regencies. I even had 3 regencies in a row one game (I won two wars early, clearly my fault)

If I have more than 50 ducats, I never get a positive money event. But when I get 100 ducats saved up, I get 2 or 3 ducat destroying events.

PS the rebels, form on the far left of my empire and when I move to get them, boom rebels show up on the far right of my empire. Clearly random and not a strategy. *rolls eyes*
