As this might seem trivial, remember to do it!

As the story goes; i had my lovely Pahlava Campaign i had reached the year 249 when i saved, then the next day i loaded it and FORGOT TO TURN ON THE SCRIPT!!!

And i ended the turn and this is what happend:Year in History of DOOM!!! Holy!!!

over 9000 YiH Messages, so! new players, remember this! dont end the turn without turning on the script.... or you will suffer !

over 9000 YiH Messages

Over 9000, huh? Hey, what's that smell?

*Sniffs the air*

Why, I do believe that's the smell of bullshit...

Ah... Well in that case, I may have to test wether failing to activate the script can cause a YiH spam in my game... I do occassionally end up fighting a battle without activating the script (because I load the game and the first thing I click on is an army about to fight a battle I didn't have time to fight previously), but I find I tend to do a Hell of a lot of click-ity-click-clicking on my settlements every turn, so failing to run the script is rarely ever a problem for me outside of that, so I don't think I've ever had the script inoperative over a turn break...

Man, it's been this way for years. No one comes to the hood, not even Santa Clause. Without the script, people live in hell from the rez to the hoooooooood.

If you think this is bad, imagine how it is for the people who need to steal, to feed their kids their meal. Anishinabe, I feel your pain.

Sometimes if you mess up the script it'll be 14 AD all of sudden and upon activating hte script and ending a turn it'll be your actual date again but with every YiH event from 272 to 140 something.

well, captain Trek, you must knew that year of history will stack if you improperly load script after a period of unloaded script, and that is many of em...
The Blacksmith just made a joke implying there is soo many of em.... it was OVER 9000!!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!!

Reported...or have I?

I just pictured a YouTube-based Public Service Announcement for EB players worldwide, with recordings of several players, all testifying to the same issue:

I forgot to turn on the script
I forgot to
I forgot to
I
I
I
I forgot to turn on the script...

Please, for all y'all's sake, turn on the background script every session.

This has been a Public Service Announcement for Europa Barbarorum.

Oh man, what's a YiH spam? I've done the 14 AD once (my save was at the end of a turn and when I loaded it, I made sure things were cool -- which in this case, unfortunately did not refer to any of my settlements or the faction icon -- hit end turn, and it did the whole screen-sized Pahlava symbol with "YOU FAILED! SUCKER! I'M GONNA PUKE CAUSE YOU'RE SO LAME! 14 AD AND NOTHING! NOTHING! Wanna play more?" I clicked keep playing activated teh script, and it all went back to normal. I hope that wasn't this game...

Well, I finally got around to running the test and sure enough, not having the script active when you hit "end turn", with the next turn being one where a YIH is supposed to appear, does indeed cause an epic YIH spam, but on my game it didn't also skip ahead to 14 AD...
