In Game Date Alarm

[Blakeman]

Hey guys,

First of all, sorry if this was the wrong place to post this. Please move it if it is.
Anyway, I was thinking that a super useful feature to have in game would be a sort of alarm or notification that comes up at a custom date.
I find myself constantly forgetting about dates at which I can integrate vassals and PUs etc etc. I figure I'm not the only person in this situation.
I figured I'd post the idea here in case a modder or paradox themselves would like to implement it somehow.

If this is already implemented, please feel free to laugh at me and tell me how to do it.

Cheers.

I would love this. It’s on my personal ‘quality-of-life’ wishlist.

And what about a "round clock" indicating which month of the year it is. I still have trouble keeping up with the English month names due to language differences

People want it. Paradox ignores it. Must be immensely difficult to program.

Well lets keep trying to get their attention. Even a modder with some spare time to throw something together, I mean, I don't know anything about programming but it doesn't sound too difficult or lengthy to do, right?

I use post-it notes at the top of my screen to keep track of important dates and other info worth a note. No coding time needed and supplies are free at work.

We're talking about a feature that essentially already exists in the game. You can already make the game pause when most things happen, for example when a missionary is done working or when you converted the culture of your province. All they'd have to do is create a function within the game that does nothing. When it's done doing nothing (the time it takes for the function to do nothing is defined before you start it) the game pauses.

Exactly it! And as a bonus you could type in a custom message to pop up at that date eg. "Truce is up with France. Destroy them."

I'm gonna bump this so more people see. The more I play, the more I wish the game had it.

+1 for this idea.

Holy crap on a stick YES! I'm notoriously bad at noticing when some stuff happens that I've been specifically waiting for, so I end up missing a lot.

Yes would be great, especially in multiplayer where I forget to vassalize some poor minor and my douche friends grab it for themselves.
