Will the game run with "very rare random events" or something?

Otherwise, I wonder if you shure about the pretender designs? Take e.g. "Euryale" of Pangaea:
Order: -3 Productivity: -2 Heat: 0 Growth: 3 Fortune: 0 Magic: -1

Full turmoil but no luck, that means that you're in for a lot of random hurt. And with a starting/main province with "fresh water" you have a very good chance you get flooding fast, what will kill a good bunch of your pop early.

I hope they are somewhat balanced. Most of them have some drawbacks and none are what players would characterize as optimal pretenders I suspect. I hope the map, scenario and interaction makes up for this.

Common events. The chance for a flood is rather low though. It can only happen during summer (don't know why).

One other thing, what will the independent setting be?

You'll notice soon enough

Also there is a lot of scripted provinces, pop-wise, site-wise or both.

There is an error on the pretender info regarding Rudra. He doesn't have 5 death, only 4 and he has a castle instead of the citadel. Sorry for the inconvenience.
