War of Roses - Disaster

[PirateAE]

Spoiler

Basing off this image, it looks all but inevitable that During the HYW with France this will trip when, in reality, it didn't start until a few years after the end off the HYW.

assuming 2.50 gain per month, gives just 40 Months(3.3ish years), 2/month (assuming you raise stab right away) is 50 Months(4and a bit years); For the AI england, yes typically its "given" up at 15-18 mths, For the player though, this could be a major blow for the player while still fighting for the France throne.

My recommendation, would be to have a hard block flag with HYW going on, but increase the rate at when it does start to tick, to tick. Perhaps double the rates.

They'll probably tweak it. It should have a 1% per month trigger; (.75 with stability?) to be historically on time. Which it should be imo as it started in 1455.

It also kind of looks like there's no way out of the war of wine and roses for England, besides Henry dying and a dynasty change. I like that idea as I'd love to get some land from them early as Scotland.

This hits luck of the Irish the hardest lol, having the idiot on the throne is very useful for the tech lead.

We don't know yet what modifiers there might be that you could use to offset that.

Really not liking this implementation of the disaster system. I'd much prefer event chains that give you periodic warnings of impending disaster, with clear explanations of what you have to do to avoid them.

Having a bar makes it too easy to prepare, and removes a lot of the anticipation that could be had - with events and no bar, you would be in a constant state of concern over whether or not the event would fire, keeping you on your toes. Here, you can just calculate exactly when it will rise, and position troops and avoid wars accordingly.

I think it's too soon to tell. We don't really know the trigger. It might still require the Lack of an Heir event to happen beforehand.
