Interesting analysis

There does seem to be a good variety of events, though a few don't always make sense for who's receiving them (for example as the Holy Roman Emperor you might get the event where a chalice or some such is gone from a temple and you immediately ride off to retrieve it. Doesn't really seem like something an emperor would be likely to do. I think I might've had this event fire for Cynical characters as well, but I might be misremembering)
What I think would be nice on the event-front is more events related to interactions between characters, especially your own family. They often seem more like set pieces than actual human beings, as there is little actual interaction with them.

One thing that seems a bit strange is that for the tournaments, you'll occasionally get another event several months after the tournament has ended, usually giving or taking away 1 DIP, or giving you the duelist trait, while it'd probably make more sense to get these events during the tournament itself.

Is this the first game we have made where the community actually thinks the creative content is more than enough?

There is lots of user mods being made, but none making more event-series.. ( some big block mods add events of course)

Not that we want to stop here. We will add several event-series to every content patch...

As for me, fixing the gameplay is - imho - more important then adding new events.
Especially since fixing and balancing stuff means changing a few lines of the code, where event chains require much more time.

I thought about adding different outcomes for, lets say, my newly added "free prisoner" plot, but I would have to create a mindmap on possible action, chracter flags set, effects, etc. - so I just used a success/fail event.
Plus: Event chains are quite prone to errors and bugs - and hunting these down does again take alot of time. And that's the problem for me: I have already spend the whole last week to change stuff, maybe around 60+ hours of modding and testing. I simply have not time for new events until I have fixed all gameplay issues...

In addition, we have not yet any info (like for EU3 or Vicky2) about scope, trigger and effect commands and the actual list of commands is quite limited.

I have some plots/ambitions that I want to implement but I've no idea what a lot of the triggers mean. Looked in objectives file and got lost.:blush:

Then you know how I feel The plots are rather complicated and time consuming to do. I did the ones for Sengoku and CK but the ones for CK is much more complicated, because of everything with laws/titles/de jure vs de facto etc. And the plot needs to work together with events and decisions and special CB's and they all need to be able to detect if something isn't valid anymore... Not to mention the work that goes into actually debugging and making sure they work as intended. I know we don't have that many plots yet, but anyone who tries to mod in one themselves will quickly find out why. I've just scripted a new one that works both for vassals and independents and that I think many players will like. Will most likely be included in the next patch.
