Thx Duglis, I like yours too in general! I am not as keen on your humorous ones, not cause they're bad, but because they jar with the spell of history-changing megolamania I fall under when I play.
I have a few new one coming up, provided they are accepted by Stardock. I try to come up with somewhat believable issues (I had one refused for I guess not being rated G, yet another for no reason I could see) (Hey this is not dig at Stardock, it's their game and they can certainly control their own website!). Part of me wishes for a more robust event system, a bit à la Europa Universalis, where you could link events, have them depend on necessary triggers or more interestingly, have them generate good and bad events at once. It would be nice if events could be dual, in that each moral option say would be +research at the expense of -bc for instance, +one thing yet -another
