-====== Random Events =======
+====== Loggy's Random Events reverse engineering notes =======
+**Generating Random Events**
   * Events are considered on a nation-by-nation basis, for every nation that is in the game.
-  * Each nation in the game gets a total of four(!) checks.
+  * Each nation in the game gets a total of four checks.
-  * Check 1 has base event rate 15.
+      * Check 1 has a //base event rate// of 15.
-  * Check 2 has base event rate (owned provinces*3)+2.
+      * Check 2 has a //base event rate// of (owned provinces*3)+2.
-  * Check 3 has base event rate (owned provinces*2)+2.
+      * Check 3 has a //base event rate// of (owned provinces*2)+2.
-  * Check 4 has base event rate (owned provinces) + 2.
+      * Check 4 has a //base event rate// of (owned provinces) + 2.
-  * The event rate is then calculated as base + (turmoil's modifier) + (luck's modifier). Here the scales are considered in the nation's cap only.
+  * The event rate is then calculated as:
+      * //base event rate// + (turmoil's modifier) + (luck's modifier).
+      * The scales are considered in the nation's cap only for this check.
   * If the event rate is less than 3, it is set to 3.
-  * Then min(calculated stuff and (current turn number * 5)) is used as the final event rate.
+  * Then min(calculated event rate and (current turn number * 5)) is used as the final event rate.
-  * The event rate is divided by 2 if random events are rare.
+      * The event rate is divided by 2 if random events are rare.
-  * If this is check 4, divide the event rate by 2 again.
+      * If this is check 4, divide the event rate by 2. Both these divisions can happen after each other.
-  * If (random number 0-99) < calculated event rate, generate an event. Next need to decide if good/bad.
+  * If (random number 0-99) < calculated event rate, generate an event.
-  * The province it happens in is then randomised.
+  * The game then determines:
-  * Calculate the event is good percentage: luck scale in province * the global luck "event is good" value.
+      * If the event is good or bad.
-  * If you don't have control of dominion in the province, the luck scale is set to 0 if greater than 0.
+      * A random province where the event occurs.
-  * If (random number 0-99) < (random number 0-99) - event is good %, the event is good.
+  * If the event is bad, the game checks every unit on the map to see if any are in the targeted province and have a fortune teller ability
-  * If the event is bad, check every single unit on the map to see if any are in the right province with a fortune teller ability, if so then roll that
+      *If yes, the game then rolls for this ability.
-  * Trigger the event.
+  * The event is then triggered.
-  * Increment check number if not 4.
+  * If this was check 1-3, the game rolls again, checking the next consecutive number.
-  * If it was 4, exit.
+  * If this was check 4, random event rolls are completed.
+**Determining Good or Bad Events**
+  * Whether an event is good or bad depends on the following calculation:
+      * Luck scale in a province * the global luck "event is good" value.
+          * //Note//: If the province is not under friendly dominion, any positive luck scales are ignored and 0 is used instead.
+      * If (random number 0-99) < 50 + the "event is good" %, the event is good.
+        * IE: neutral scales is 50/50, misfortune 3 is 80% bad and 20% good
