I'm working on a savegame trimmer for Rome, since the savegames get irritatingly large after about a hundred years or so, and saving/loading begins to take too much time. The one I made for EU3 was fairly successful, so I thought I'd give one for Rome a try.
Now, the biggest space-saver is going to be removing dead, childless characters iteratively until the only dead characters remaining are ones with living descendants.
There are, however, many other things I think can be removed. My question is this: does the event history for characters have any effect? That is, once an event has happened for a given character, is there any purpose to keeping it in the history. Are there any events that check to see what character events have occurred to a given character? Any input is appreciated.
