You could try playing as a nation which has no events (although you'de still get random events), or try the solution below...

Copy "events.txt" [in the europa universalis /DB folder] to a new file (something like "old-events.txt") then go into your original "events.txt" and get rid of (at least) every line begining with "event =".

To keep the random events keep the line " event = "db\events\RandomEvents.txt" " intact.

Although I think you'de be insane to delete the events - they add a hell of a lot of interest to the game...

is there a way to stop events. i hate them and think they detract from the game.

Ooooooooook, each to their own I guess, but I think it would be exceptionally boring without them (like vanilla HoI) :wacko: ;)

nevertheless as the post above states. You must have SOME random events however otherwise the game crashes. I dont know the exact figure but around 25 random events minimum are needed.

WRT random events - I think that you could change the possible dates in the "RandomEvents.txt" file so that they could only happen in the last (or first) year of the game.

Again... can't understand why...
