Stupid Event

[CNightwing]

This is a gripe/request for help:

The event, "Musket or Bow?" is lovely and thematic and all, except that when it came up I didn't read it right. You either lose 15 army tradition or get a 5% penalty to military technology cost PERMANENTLY. Now, I assumed it was one of those typical generic events and would last 5 or maybe 10, even 25 years, but forever? That's ridiculous. It doesn't even make sense. By the end of the game you have RIFLES. Now of course, I was in the middle of a war and quickly opted for the tech penalty, but it was a trap.

I think the event ought to be modified, but in the meanwhile, is there any way to get rid of the modifier?

I thought it was only until the death of the ruler under which the event happens? If not, then that sucks, and should be changed to a temporary modifier.

 

[CNightwing]

Would that come up under the modifier tooltip? Because it doesn't say anything about expiration. If it's until the king's dead that's survivable..

 

[ceteris.paribus]

The +5% tech debuff is only temporary. Don't worry about it.

Sometimes I take the Army Tradition hit if I'm planning to sit around for awhile and I have no NI modifiers to boost it up.

In the event's file, it has this:

option = {
		name = "random_event.EVTOPTA15"
		add_ruler_modifier = {
			name = archery_muskets
		}
	}

Ruler modifier means till the rulers death, I believe.

Well I'm certainly relieved. Any chance we can get the tooltip to point this out (and similar ruler-based modifiers)?

Correct.

I do believe it already says that the modifier lasts until the death of <ruler name>.

edit:

As you can see, here is the string:

 RULER_MODIFIER_ADDED: "$WHERE$ gets '§Y$WHAT$§W' until the death of §Y$WHO$§W, giving the following effects:\n$EFFECT$\n\n"

Could be worse, comet sighted anyone?

Don't look at the sky.

Correct.

The event does mention it yes, but I think the point was that it doesn't show up on the tooltip when it's already in effect.
