    Default Historical event messages?

    I like those little popups that RTW campaign had, about events such as the invention of Archimedes' screw. I always wished there would be more of them. Maybe EB could add these messages? It'd be nice to read about important/interesting events that took place in history during the game turn

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    I like the idea. Do you know of any examples you'd like to see?

    Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much (especially if they're Languorous)!

    Correct me if i'am wrong, but if I have understood correctly, you can only edit those events, not add more of them.

    That's what I thought, but perhaps EB could just use the same date and try to do different historical events, or just elaborate more on CA's?

    I'm pretty sure there is a way to add new ones. Mundus Magna had one pop up involving Roman spies sent to Carthage to learn about purple dye, as well as extras about the Great Library.

    Also, is the Archimedes screw event tied to an in-game event or to the date? It always seems to happen in the same year as the Macedonian plague.
