It really is pretty ridiculous. In my last US game I ended up just maximizing con to get to the Civil War faster so I wouldn't have to deal with those damn events.
For a while I tried to stave off the Civil War because of my war with Mexico. But after I had successfully acquired all of my cores and kept playing I realized it was nearing 1870 without a Civil War.... And those damn pop-ups were making me mad. So I started letting everyone do whatever they want and raise the Con. The war happened in about 6 months.
Lucky for me though, I got some cores on Cuba out of it
Unfortunately you still get the crappy pop-ups about the religious stuff for the rest of the game.

I suppose it would be nice if you could suppress province events with a single choice entirely, at least if you've seen them before. As for ones with multiple choices, if they happen frequently it's a matter of poor design.
Do you get more consciousness allowing them to do what they want or if you suppress them?For a while I tried to stave off the Civil War because of my war with Mexico.

Did I miss that memo about making little mouse-clicks turning into some sort of Labor of Hercules?
Suppressing movements increases militancy, not consciousness so it's generally a bad idea.
Do you use a pop-up blocker? Because this is basically the Vic 2 equaltivant of website with thousands of pop-ups. (Minus the malware obviously.)
Sounds like it could be annoying. We'll take a look whenever/if the times comes for 3.04.
had a look at we made all those events more likely to happen in 3.02 (they didnt fire very often before). If someone finds them annoying its pretty easy to go through and mod them. Open events/ACW.txt and go to "#Copperheads".
The places to change:
change 100 to 400.
and in
change 0.2 to 0.8
The places to change:
Code:
mean_time_to_happen = {
months = 100 #800and in
Code:
option = {
name = "EVTOPTB16150"
owner = {
random_state = {
limit = {
is_slave = yes
}
any_pop = {
consciousness = 0.2 #2
}
}
}
}change 0.2 to 0.8
It's more like a batter fouling off pitches or the pitcher throwing to first to keep the baserunner from taking too large a lead; not as exciting as a triple but nonetheless an essential part of the game.
In general the frequency of repeated events in Vicky2 is way too high. The 500th popup of Moral Crusaders is doing nothing but distracting me from the game I'm trying to play and wearing out my mouse button. I've modded them out as best I can but I hope in the future PDS will use fewer, more meaningful, popups/events. Add the pre Civil War events to all the other events that repeat ad nauseum for every province over and over and the game is now popup-window-whack-a-mole. If an event is intended to fire for every province that meets a certain criteria why not just do it all at once and give me one message about it? Then I might actually read what's in the popup instead of instinctively closing every one that pops up.
They do? For Border Ruffians, Copperhead, etc. I thought it says like .10 militancy, .01 consciousness (not exact) until a certain date to allow, and 1.5 consciousness or .1 consciousness etc.
That makes no sense whatsoever to someone who doesn't play baseball... (or as it is known in the UK: rounders for men)
Same with Russia and a unified China. I mod the events myself but forgot to save a copy and last patch overwrote them; arrgghh the pain in my finger...
