Playing the top tier nations you'll find some smaller events when a historic person shows up. I'd like to see more of these with a short note who they where and what they did. I know it's a game but it origins in a Swedish history school game and I miss it.
I'd like to see some more stuff of these and not just persons but also some city findings and population movements. Of course these events should be complimented with some generic(?) events to balance them out. Also like to see some awful nasty bad harvest events like the bad harvests in 1690s killing of large amounts of people. Some examples of what I mean:
Duke Magnus of Östergörland
Son of Gustav I and Margareta Leijonhufvud.
Magnus was the only of Gustav Vasa's sons, except for Karl and Sten who died in infancy, that didn't become king of Sweden. In 1555, he was made Duke of Ostrogothia, Kinda and Ydre, Dalsland, Sundbo härad in Närke, Kåkind, Valla and the major part of Vadsbo härad in Västergötland. As Duke of Ostrogothia, he lived permanently at Vadstena Castle in Vadstena.
Magnus suffered from a mental illness. The illness showed its first signs in 1563, and eventually became permanent. In 1574, the responsibility of his fiefs were taken over by his brother king John III, who managed them as his guardian because of his mental condition. A smaller part of them was granted to his other brother, duke Charles.
Many ballads and stories were made inspired by Magnus and his alleged interest in mythological creatures such as fairies. There are many stories about the 'Mad Duke', for example when he saw a mermaid in the castle moat and threw himself out of a window. He nearly drowned. There are no proof of the story, but it might come from when he in 1563 fell in the moat, during the construction of the castle drawbridge.
Options:
A: He might have been mad but he was talented.
add 25 dip power
0,5 yearly prestige for 10 years
1% increase RR Kings believe in fairys? for 3 years
B: He was mad now let us forget him.

1% lowered RR Mad rulers will not be put in charge
-5 prestige He was my kinsman after all
Eye in the west
The only Swedish gateway to the North Sea and Atlantic, lying on the west coast in a very narrow strip of Swedish territory between Danish Halland to the south and Norwegian Bohuslen to the north. After several failed attempts, Göteborg was successfully founded in 1621 by King Gustavus Adolphus (Gustaf II Adolf). The city was heavily influenced by the Dutch, Germans and Scots, and Dutch planners and engineers were contracted to construct the city as they had the skills needed to drain and build in the marshy areas chosen for the city. The town was designed like Dutch cities such as Amsterdam, Batavia (Jakarta) and Neuw Amsterdam (Manhattan Island).
Göteborg is also know as small London and artists of the 1900s claims it to be as Marseille.
Option A:
A new Town!
add 1(2?) base tax
Rename to Göteborg
-50 ducats
Option B:
Not needed!
Gain 50 ducats
+15 relation to Denmark and Norway
Bad harvests has been striking us!
The famine of 1695-1697. Even know as the Great Famine was a comprehensive famine in Sweden. Since 1688 the nation had suffered by bad harvests that culminated during these years. Northern parts and the Finnish area was struck hardest.
As a result of this mass starvation wrote Israel Kolmodin hymn "The blomstertid nu kommer" which also was released in 1695-year hymnal. It was not as processed as today and was meant as a prayer to God that the harsh, cold weather would subside so it could start growing in the fields and in the wild again. Although it is debatable prima facie hymn was helpful or not, as was the harvest that year virtually non-existent. It is told that the man who most got out a rågstrå of crops per farm that summer. The hymn is in any case still exists today and is sung in most school closings in Sweden and especially in Finland, which is probably due to crop failure affected the majority of contemporary Sweden's most well Norrland.
Option:
A: At least the hymn is good.
Provinces (Finnish region) -33% taxes during 5 years
gain 5 prestige
(I've used Swedish/English Wikipedia and Google translate, if you find stuff that's inaccurate correct the original not this)
Yes I'm a Swede so I used Swedish examples and I'd love to see examples of this for other nations, knowledge is good.
