A simple and sensible change to the comet

[percyrich]

One of the things you learn to love while playing this game is the comet. Sometimes, things just don't go your way, and I'm glad that the paradox people haven't changed it. I think it is good and should stay exactly the same for the player.

But here's the thing - comets don't appear over a single nation. How come only my nation can see the big fireball in the sky? In other words - if I get the event, shouldn't everyone else get it too?

Syncing up everyone's comets would make it more of an event, while retaining the "random punishment" effect. Everyone would go nuts all over the world at once - exciting AND historical!

I think it makes sense from a game design, historical flavour AND scientific accuracy standpoint.

tl;dr make the comet event global

The question is not whether anyone else saw the comet.

The question is whether anyone else's subjects freaked out over the comet

So you're asking for more choice in the comet sighted event, correct?

I hope one day you guys will have to update engine so that it could handle 14 event choices on 1024x768 screens.

Now I'am thinking about (more) global events in eu4. I agree

Everyone should suffer OR better yet it shouldn't exist.
No comet pls, really

Having everyone in a large region get the comet event (except for those with natural philosopher who get the natural philosopher bonus one) would be pretty cool.
