Ever since I played EU2, I believe that the event description language (together with the part describing scenarios and countries) can be made more expressive. The proposal I made here is for the purpose of easing the creation of events.
I think that the language must be made simpler in writing (not necessarily simpler in its potentials). I know perfectly well that this proposal wil require writing a new parser but I believe the work of modders can be facilited. Based on the work of Harvard, I introduce a revised language. Nothing revolutionnary here, but just relying on my knowledge of programming languages.
The current syntax is given in blue, the proposed one in red. Keywords will be in bold.
