Cracking the historic events file

[ErrantOne]

Tonight I made progress with adding historical events to the events list and I am just wondering if anyone else is interested in this kind of information. Also,have you researched a particular country/region and have some events you would like to add?
The changes were very minor but still 3 of the 4 events i put in worked. Not sure what happened to the other one. So Nippon (hands off game), got 3 colonists from event 1, improved relations with the Teutonic order (+25)-event 2, and event 3--worse relations with Teutonic order did not happen..booo. event four -- free money for treasury event worked too. These are all the tests so far.

PS if someone has already done this kind of thing please let me know. I will go poke around elsewhere. and point me to some info on event writing

I'd be very interested in this information.

One change I'd like to try is to add an Event 32 (Desertions) to the year 1 of every Turkish monarch's reign. My motive behind this is to simulate the donative the Sultan was pretty much forced to pay the Janissaries upon his coming to power; having to pay to re-recruit these lost troops seems to be the best way to recreate this with the random events at hand (since there are really no events which can cause a monetary loss...well, Event 14 is Lost Gold Convoy, but if the Turks have no gold mines, nothing will happen).

Absolutely

I'd like to give a FIXED increase in each tech research. In my findings events that boost resarch add 1/4 of the current cost.
