+ | ==== Scales and Events ==== | ||
+ | The Event system interacts a lot with the scales. The following interactions have been observed so far: | ||
+ | * The scales in a province **determine which events** can fire in said province. Once the game has determined that a province will experience an event, all events that meet minimum scales requirements (if any) will be added to a pool of events that the game then selects from. | ||
+ | * The **amount of random events** a nation gets (disregarding Bringers of Fortune/ | ||
+ | * Luck from enemy dominion in one of your provinces **does not** increase your chance of getting positive events (just like most other positive scales). However enemy scales in your provinces **do** change the event pool available to you. | ||
+ | * //E.g. you took Misfortune 2 and conquer an enemy province with Luck 3 Magic 3. Because of your scales you get 10% more events and those events are 20% less likely to be good. If an event fires in your newly conquered province the event pool will include the events that have Luck 3 Magic 3 as requirement, | ||
