Support for minorities event

[ohdear]

I got an event wherein a character was found dead and I was given the choice to continue to support his championing of minorities which would likely lead to civil war or kill it dead, giving a malus to non Roman pops.

I now have sliding loyalty in nearly every province due to unrest and can’t remember whether this malus was permanent or temporary - I can’t find anywhere to see if there’s a time limit and I can’t find the event details to check.

If it’s permanent I’m doomed - does anyone know how long I have to weather this?

Any help hugely appreciated.

If you hover over the loyalty in each province could you see the malus name and write down ? You may find it in the imperator wiki

What I think it’s done is set non integrated culture happiness to -30% base. But there’s no indication of time or anything.

It seems the wiki has not pages on all events, but you can read the files

Events - Imperator Wiki

imperator.paradoxwikis.com

Nevertheless, these malus are only temporary if they are not until the end of the game. On the nation screen you should see all the events affecting your nation

You will find the effect and duration here, in my case the Fair Trial effect:

Perfect, thank you. I’ll have a look later.

If this is the event I'm thinking about it adds a modifier to any province not of your dominant culture. This modifier last for 10 years and reduces local happiness by 25. (Also since it's a state modifier I don't think it will appear where Isaac suggested).

Oh, and as a fun side note, the modifier comes with a little bit of dev commentary attached:

prominent_lawmaker_crisis = {
    local_population_happiness = -0.25 #TODO when all is said and done maybe rework this event to use Cultural Happiness and/or senate approval
}

Considering this event has been in since launch, I wonder if that TODO note is just as old...

Is there anywhere that the province modifiers display?

Is there anywhere that the province modifiers display?

In each territory's menu (near trade goods). There isn't a separate section for Province vs Territory modifiers unfortunately.

Yes, at the bottom left of the province window.

This thread was a learning experience for me, to be sure. I hadn't realized you could see all the effects.

Yes, at the bottom left of the province window.

Thank you - I’ll load the game up and have a look a little later.

It was that decision and modifier - thank you for your help. Only 5 years left to ride it out so I think we’ll survive, but next time it fires I think I’ll take the other choice.

Horrible event - hope it has a huge MTTH!

It shouldn't happen more than once per campaign. And can only happen to republics.

Most of the time the other option is much better. It leads down an event chain that creates a few very disloyal characters with large armies, which can cause a civil war. But you can usually deal with the disloyal generals before anything bad happens. (Especially if you're willing to save scum.)
