Neither have I, and I've played full Ashen and SG games several times in SP.

Of course, given how it appears in some other nation's province, you'd expect their scales to dictate it...

By the way, one thing I noticed when playing ermor with luck +3 ( which I originally chose solely to avoid having my temples continually falling apart ) was that a lot of the resource or income bonus specials that appeared through random events continuted to function to full effect even when the province they were in was population 0, and it actually had a pretty significant effect on my gold income.

They still function, yes. In fact, it gets even better as Ermor: You can jack up your tax rates to 200, which WOULD produce a lot of unrest and cause people to complain incessantly, if it weren't for the fact that they are all dead now, and the only inhabits are the undead.

And the undead always pay their bills in full.

I almost never see it happen more than once in a game, and usually I don't see it happen until like turn 60+, so if you play short games you might well never see it. I have no clue if scales have any effect on it, since it doesn't display as an event in the turn Messages.

I play hideously long games, so if that's the cause, I should be seeing it. It must be extremely rare, or triggered by a combination of scales and dominionary influence in ways that generally don't occur.

Hmm, I think it's tied to the death and misfortune scales, as I have had it occur around turn ten with Black Forest Ulm.

[Norfleet]

So the VICTIM has to be Death and Misfortune, and Ermor has to exist in the game.

That would explain why I rarely see it: I don't play Ermor much in SP, it's not terribly challenging, and few people in MP will pick both Death and Misfortune.

I saw it 3-4 times before turn 50 in my current ...Ermor game, where I have Luck3 (thanks to Ermor insane scales ! So it happened to *my* advantage
But each time those crappy cultists get wiped out and never captured a province ...
