I made an event for the Kaliphate.. And it didn't work.. I put event = "db\events\major_cal.txt" in the events.txt file, as my event file was named major_cal.txt.

HOWEVER, I cut and pasted the event in the Turkish event file and the event worked!! So, I know the scripting is correct, but there's something else and I'm absolutely clueless.

Any help or insight would greatly be appreciated. Thanks..

My best guess: you added the line to events.txt after starting your current game. Events.txt is only read when starting a scenario.

If this is indeed the case, you can get it to work in your current game by adding the event="db\events\major_cal.txt" line to your savegame also, near the bottom. The event lines are all squished onto one line there; you can split them up one per line if you like.
