Are Events Too Rare?

I've gone through games without seeing more than a handful of events, even with events cranked up to Frequent (or whatever the maximum setting is)...

If you think events are too rare, in the game setup, just make them more frequent!

i dont know about them being to rare but could use more diversity and some positive ones.

b4 anyone says it, i know, thats what mods are for. and i have worked on added some. i have taken a few from moo2 (galaxy news reports).

question do events affect the ai races?

Eyecandy mod on the gold cd has LOTS more events, as well as other goodies.

I wish there were better events. that's all. o and events that are conditional. I'm really into conditionals. I'm also going to sleep.

Wow, I have been away for a couple of months and there are a lot of new people here.

One problem with creating good events is that it devalues the Lucky racial trait (50% less chance of events, no discrimination). This could be gotten around by adding a good or bad tag to each event; good events would be 50% more likely to happen to luck races.
