I don't change those events in any way. You might just have terrible luck.
So here's the cultural buildings changes I made if anyone wants to look at/use them.
Basically, I took the vanilla cultural buildings maintenance levels and multiplied them by 1.5, as that matches the maintenance increases in PB for everything but light infantry and knights. I then changed knights maintenance from 8 to 6 in defines.lua to bring them in line with the other maintenance levels, leaving light infantry at 1.
The troop types match PB, but adjusted numbers to meet the maintenance costs I laid out. Added bonuses to buildings that didn't have them (the bonuses are somewhat derived from vanilla, and then modified to be unique in cases where multiple cultures had the same troop type and bonus), and removed a few instances where cultural buildings were subtracting other troop types (I can appreciate the balance/army composition reasons for this, but it just didn't seem "fun").
End result is heavy infantry, pikemen, horse archers, and heavy cavalry cultural buildings having slightly lower numbers, while archers, light cavalry, and light infantry have slightly higher numbers when compared to PB. Lower or higher, the cultural levies are all bonused as well. The total levy (in maintenance cost) provided by the cultural buildings at max level is slightly lower than a max level barracks.
Don't forget to change knights maintenance from 8 to 6 in defines if you use it. It shouldn't really make a big difference, but it seemed neater this way.
Edit: To use them in PB, unzip the file and move it into mod\ProjectBalance\common\buildings. You may want to backup the PB cultural buildings file instead of overwriting it so you can go back to the original values.

I do want knights to be particularly expensive, as historically they were
I'll take a look at what you've done to the buildings.
Take a look at the latest commit to the beta branch
I'm glad you approve.
Let me know if you want me to change the bonuses to match those applied to the SWMH retinues. They're a bit less diverse than mine but the argument can be made for things being neater by matching up when possible.
Yeah, I might make them match up, but it doesn't really make much of a difference; in practice you won't notice much difference between 0.1 offensive and 0.1 defensive.
BTW, what total maintenance amounts did you aim for for each stage?
Edit: Nevermind, calculated it on my own:
# Tier 0 - 90
# Tier 1 - 120
# Tier 2 - 150
# Tier 3 - 180
# Tier 4 - 210
# Tier 5 - 240
In the vanilla file it suggested 60 + 20 per level, so I did 90 + 30 per level (90, 120, 150, etc) for a total of 990 at max level.
I would've taken this to a different subforum, but since I'm playing PB + SWMH I thought it would be more appropriate here.
I'm currently playing as Eire with England under the belt, but I'm having difficulty getting title revocation passed in England. All conditions are met, Elective Monarchy, yet the option is locked. Any advice?
Regards.

Hi,
first: Thanks for this great mod.
Then, I have a question. Why ist it that the armenian culture has no culture buildings? They were famous for they cavalry, so byzantine cataphracts would fit?
With my little understanding of CK2-Modding, I think I could do it myself. But is there a reason for them not having an culture building?
Regards.

Tried starting out on the new patch with Ashkenazi Jewish Patrician in Hamburg and I noticed that I cannot marry! Even if trying to arrange marriage with own courtier the Send button just stays greyed out
It's probably the opinion condition.
Custom tooltips like that will always show as true even if they're not due to a bug in Paradox' code.
Thanks for reporting; I believe I never switched the Greek culture building over to the Byzantine culture group when vanilla did. I'll fix it next version.
How marriage works is hardcoded, so there's nothing I can do about it I'm afraid.
The AI definitely uses Planned Invasions. I held the Emperor of Scandinavia title. The King of Norway kicked off a Planned Invasion of England (Wessex) about 5 years after I became Emperor and he became King (I was curious about whether the plan started before or after I became Emperor, so I looked at title history).
As a player, it's horrifying that your vassal could suddenly get another Kingdom (or a large portion thereof). On the other hand, it also meant that I had to seriously worry about him rebelling. I was considering taking steps to get him to fail the invasion (I was going to start by assassinating him to destroy the Invasion troops), but he white peaced out (probably because he was facing a substantial vassal rebellion).
Hopefully the diplomacy action to prepare an invasion actually checks if the CB is valid, because if not I can't really restrict it..
I can't seem to play PB with SWMH now. Whenever I load up the game, the entire map is a wasteland except for Britanny and some scandinavian areas.
It's working fine for me.
Make sure you've got PB, PB+SWMH, and SWMH all enabled.
Are you running any mods beyond those three?
I've found a slight issue. It's not really negatively effecting anything, it's just...decidedly odd. Every nation in the world is apparently hostile towards Bo Bo's Host. And has been for the past 30 years or so. Due to their war on Pirates. I'm honestly more bemused than anything.
Meneth is there a way i can send you my syrian save to have a look at and figure out what's wrong? it just freezes after playing one day and i don't have a recent autosave either, the previous save is from over a hundred years prior
