Show Event modifiers when they run out.

[crysanja]

Hi,

it would be very nice to see the modifiers of timed events when they run out.

most of the time i get a popup saying an event ended, but i have no clue what i have lost.


events like colonial enthusiasm - ok i know what this one does, just an example.
dont forget the province events =)

Government tab; right hand side. Hover over modifiers to get date.

Isn't this just mostly a message setting?

Yes I agree the pop-up should include more than just the name of the event. It should have a description of what it does as well.

When the event expires this method no longer works. It would be nice to see what you just lost.

Not really. Once the event Expires, you no longer have it. Most modifiers last for a set time and then end. ITs the nature of the game. No need to see what you just "lost" simply trudge on into the few years. Besides, depending on Events for buffs in SP is not a reliable playstyle, In MP, events can turn the tide.

No one is saying that the modifiers shouldn't expire. Just that the message pop ups should show more than the name of the modifier you just lost.

Play this game long enough, and you get used to most of the modifiers that Pop up and expire. The sum game is that they dont matter too much in the long run.

It would be a little interface thingy that would help everyone. Why do you not want it?

Because its simple. Its not a QoL improvement. It's whining about an already nearly completely transparent.

Event modifier durations are shown:

• In the game files if you read them and get used to modifier durations. (Most will be 7300 Months, or ten years, occasionally some will be -1 or otherwise, typically for special events/decisions.
• On the Government Tab after hovering over the modifier.
• When you select said modifier on an event or decision pop-up.

As to showing what you just lost, its irrelevant because most modifiers that expire are ones for temporary Tax/trade/colonial range/settlers/etc. Things that if playing SP, are already tools who use is free to the player. In MP, where speed matters, modifier can matter, but rarely do any of them, but militaristic ones actually come into play.


It's a matter of simple attention Span, and one that can be solved most simply by paying attention.

This is a good suggestion. There's always that guy on these forums that's gotta be a hater for no reason.
