I have always thought that the Marius event occurs way too early for me (always at least 100 years before the real event took place). This is frustrating because I find that just as I am finishing up my manipular legions, the event happens and I get stuck in the middle. Also, the game seems to mave a lot more quickly after the event, to my dismay.

Does anyone know how this event is triggered? I can't find it in the descr_events folder. I would like to stall it until at least the early half of the 100s B.C.
