Title: Sometimes things are out of your direct control in the Republic

Description: The merchants of the republic have banded together in opposition of the current war. The war is destroying their commerce, and political pressure to stop the war is now too great to diffuse.

The only recourse is peace.

Trigger: At war; republic government; enemy government is also a republic; war exhaustion > 5 in both nations.

Result: automatic white peace

No options.

The Counter Reformation

I basically feel that this is a static decision and perhaps it would be cool if under this modifier you'll experience certain events.

Heretics Plagueing our lands!

My Lord several provinces and estates have turned to the heretical teachings of (insert 'heretic') . The Arch Bishop advises us to take harsh action!

A) This is unacceptable! We must request Rome's assistance in this terrible matter.
(New Modifier The inquisition) Stab cost +25%, National tax -5%, Missionaries +1, Missionary chance +10%.

B) Perhaps we've been going about this the wrong way.. (+1 tolerance of Heretics, lose the counter reformation, increased chance of spread of protestantism/reformed

Something like that and possibly more. The reformation should really get a more intense vibe!

Seems to me that rural feudal societies were slaves to the weather.

i.e. typical harvest, good harvest, bad harvest. Most years would be average, but on an exceptional year does the crown collect the extra grain in the granaries or does the province keep it (better fed peasants raise the population etc), do you ignore a famine or spend a fortune on bread to stop the peasants from rioting?

Maybe there needs to be an annual test for the weathers impact on agricultural provinces. Usually the test would be okay with nothing but a note to the player, a bumper harvest might improve province income and fertility and a bad harvest is a calamity with the option of the player intervening to prevent famine (ie. buys food). A bad run of luck and 3 years of famine might dent a countries ability to make war, conversely, 3 years of bumper harvests would strengthen the nation.

Title - The weather report for <year>
Trigger Date = Summer Solstice (21st December)
Description a) "My Lord, we have had a bumper harvest. There is plenty of food for the peasants and we will make a tidy profit on our estates".
Text on Button 1 (on event A) "Pass another quail" farming income +20%, Population +10%, stability +1, all agricultural provinces (e.g. grain/wool) gain 50% income
Text on Button 2 (on event A) "We must invest this windfall in farm walls and better breeding stock" income for agricultural provinces raised permanently by 5 %
Description b) "Not much to report, a good year for picnics"
Text on Button (on event B) "Good"
Description c) "My Lord, we are in trouble! Unseasonal weather has ruined the harvest!"
Text on Button 1 (on event C) "Let them eat cake" income (hungry people are too weak to maintain the farms)" stability -1, farm income -20%, Population -10% Revolt risk +20%, farming provinces income lowered permanently by 5%
Text on Button 2 (on event C) "We will make a token effort to appease the masses" farming income -20%, Population -5%, all agricultural provinces (e.g. grain/wool) lose 20% income
Text on Button 3 (on event C) "Fill the granaries chancellor, you must go abroad and buy food for our people" stability +1, income from grain provinces -20%, revolt risk -10%, all agricultural provinces (e.g. grain/wool) lose 50% income

Maybe the percentage effects are enhanced (both good and bad) for marginal areas - eg arctic.


You could imagine your joy if you were portugal and castille had suffered 3 consecutive years of famine? Reduced income would make them impoverished and open up a temporary window of opportunity. Of course, the same holds true in reverse.

 

[Simone]

all the bad things

Everything that went wrong in the past years, this guy over there is actually to blame.

action a) advisor Mr. Scapegoat dies, stability +1
action b) nah, we will go on as usual - nothing happens

 

[th3freakie]

Hm. More Events dealing with advisers and buildings would be great too.

Especially if we had both good and bad events.

Master of the Mint - New Currency (I'm aware there is already such an event, but it's not connected to the adviser, is it?)
Diplomat - Send embassy to the Pope/Emperor/LargeNeighbour
Theologian - Crisis Over Religious Detail (iconoclasts, etc)
Sheriff - Populace resent excessively strict tax collecting!

Loads to work on there.

edited:I think some more events that help give a little more control for monarchies over the kings and heirs would be nice

1.

title: Ambitious Heir

Description: Over the past few years the current heir has shown a great interest in becoming ruler (ect..)

trigger: MTTH 10-20 years after heir is older then 16

Text on Button:

option 1:yes, now is the time..

effect: king dies, -1 stability (or a increase in stability cost for a few years instead of -1 stability)

Option 2: no he is not ready..

effect: none

Option 3: never!

effect: heir dies, -1 stability


side note: I believe the player should have a chance for some control over the kings and heirs to help filter out the bad rulers at the cost of stability this would help with getting the right rulers for decisions such as westernization. also this would reduce the chance of having an old ruler and old heir which can easily lead to some long regency councils or losing the the ruling family.(such as if the king dies of age then the new king dies of age without an heir)

There is already a event like this... Something like the Heir considers the king is ruining the country so leads a coup. One of the options is to agree then the king dies, the other is to call the heir a spoiled little brat and he dies and the king remains.

These also another event where if both the Heir and King is old, something like "We are both to old, maybe we should change the line of succession" Option A: Yes, its time to stand down (Heir becomes king), Option B) Replace Heir, Option C) Just a few more years (status Quo)

true there is the coup event but my suggestion had more buttons and stab hits and slightly easier triggers

in my 2 years of playing this game i have yet to see either of those two events go off even once. while over the course of one game ill get a dozen Hunting accident or Heir Falls ill events.

a simple 'retire' king/heir button for -stab. probably would save a lot of people from hours of frustration waiting for some random event to popup..

Personally, there are far, far too many "lost stab and slider moves" for my taste. Sometimes, I'd like my sliders to stay the way they are, and not get mucked about on a yearly basis! A "negative" (read: wrong direction) slider moves takes ages to correct.
