Random Event Pain

[unmerged(29774)]

If I delete a random event.. will my troubles go away?

I hate the "Unhappiness among Peasantry" random event. I find it rather ridiculous to have revolts just throw up in half my provinces, it's not like it's a concentrated effort or anything..

soooooo

If I can get rid of it, that'd be great....or if there is some way I can avoid it, that'd be great too - help me please

Yes you can delete it from your random events file. There are several versions of it depending on country size. You can also turn random events off before loading the game.

Well, I don't want to turn them off, because there are some that I like annnnd I don't want to see the advertisements. So, besides doing that.. if I adjust and/or delete the event files - the game will be alright then, yes?

Adjust the files is OK, delete them is not.

If you open AGCEEP_Random_All.eue in a text editor and you delete events Unhappiness among peasantry:
910035, 920035, 930035, 940035, 950035, 960035, 910036, 920036, 930036, 940036 & 950036
The event will be gone for good. You can also do that with any event you don't like. But didn't your mum tell you that bad things also happen to good countries?

These are also not likely to go away either as they are legitimate events brought over from vanilla..

didn't remember names of that random event. already got 3 stability got random event that add +1 stability but rob your money without choise. kinda like banker marketing strategy to force someone take a loan for nothing

Event giving +stab shouldn't trigger if you are already at stability 3.

Yes, but events only giving +stab are very rare ("heir to the Throne/Crown" in mind).

Some events should be "tweaked" in next version. "Unhappiness among Peasantry" is one of them, iirc, according to discussions between Jinnai, Norrefeldt and I.

The tweaking is about what can be "avoided", if possible and at which cost. Anyway, Jinnai already said it: "bad things happen..."

I said that, and certainly I like having bad events lurking to attack me at the most unexpected time. It gives incentive to the game.
However I am also in favor of customizing the event sets if it pleases people. Many random events are highly controversial. Those dealing with inflation had to be changed.
I am particularly displeased with the "reigning" events where you get to choose between two sets of 3 DP movements decided by someone. It always happens that some of them go against my desires, and I don't see why I am forced to change my DPs wether I want it or not. It is not like your country is going in one direction unless you pay a price. It is like you get to choose which direction your country is going from two choices decided by someone else, neither of which you are particularly fond of. Those are not in my random file anymore.

if not wrong. noble united was name of that event. didn't have trigger not stability =3 . and only have option_a

Honestly, the event is not so bad - but when I have an honorable reputation, and a stability of 3 and absolutely no serfdom to speak of as far as DP sliders go - then well.. I find it rather ridiculous and odd to all of a sudden have 20 or so provinces, randomly all over my empire, just go nutty and revolt.

If it was more centralized, a specific area, Iberia, Brazil, Africa - something like that, then that is okay. I can SEE that happening, I can see several provinces just erupting into chaos - like the Netherlands did, like the United States did (and I stress 'just erupting').

I'm also annoyed by the new tax event as well, but that is much much more manageable than unhappiness among peasantry (being only three provinces instead of a ton).

Anyways, I'm just looking for the easiest way to limit the event from occurring, or perhaps just nixing it entirely - I know that bad things happen, but this event triggered three times for me in about 20 years of playing - it really sucked, and I'm tired of it.


Sooooooooo, best option is?....

That's part of life. You can't expect every descion in your policy to help push you along the path you want. Sometimes you have to suck it up and give in somewhere else in policy. Not everything is cut and dry.

Well even with 0 serfdom, peasants were still treated like crap, just much less than other places.

I can't really help you if it reoccurs. That's in the engine, not in my area of control.

Yes, very bad luck for EnvyShade... "That's part of life"

Those events aren't part of life. Just a mixture of DP changes that you found interesting to throw at the player without any justification. I don't mind historic events that resist your will to centralize or plutocratize your country. Resistance is logical and historic, but if I come up with a random event that will randomize all your DPs, I bet you woundn't like it, well that is what those reigning events do in a small scale. Not in my games, sorry. I have a different idea of what "random" means in random events.

You don't always get to do what you want. Its more like reaching a point where you country was going to go in one of two directions and you choose one of them.

And sometimes going down one path has multiple consiquences for multiple things.

Sometimes i am upset when i get an event fired at me I made, but you know, I shrug my shoulders and deal with the new challenge brought.

these last 2 comments seem to be a contridication of past comments made, for eg
we cannot have nations inheriting certain provinces by event because the player would be annoyed. are the comments made by many.

for an example would be france giving away franche-comte to austria and artois to BUR after the mary of burgundy event, even if historical.

dp settings != province cessions
