The Year In History

[parakeety]

Hello all. I've been playing EB for several weeks now, and it is an absolutely magnificent game which I enjoy immensely, much better than the original.

I am always very diligent about activating the background script whenever I start a game session. But there comes a point in the game (usually around 200BC) that The Year In History feature stops popping up every four turns. I've played as several factions to test it, and it happens each time. Is this normal? Was it a game feature that wasn't finished or abandoned?

I'm only asking because I'm a bit paranoid that it some way will lead me to not get any faction reforms. The advisor hasn't popped up with any more history notes (such as the rebellious legion in Rhegium), nor has there been any more "March of Time" pop-ups. I know they are dependent on other in-game factors, but I am worried that the lack of the Year in History feature means that, even though I am activating the background script each session, it's not loading or something.

Thanks for reading :)

Yes, I think the last one triggers in 212 BC. We'll add more in EB2, but putting all the information for the YIH messages is quite time consuming.
