Default Re: "max . event severity" - does it work ??
!!! Another SE bug/feature - important for all SE modders !!!

Simple experiment - I edited events.txt file for unmoded SE. It now contains just two events. One is "high". Another is "catastrophic". Events 1 preceeds Event 2 in the file. I start the test game with max. severity High. All is well, only event 1 happens

Now, I exchange event 1 and event 2 - Now the catastrophic event is listed first in the file.

I start new game with max. severity High and, lo and behold - CATASTROPHIC event happens !!


Conclusion - Events MUST go in ecsending order. If "lesser" event is in the file behing "higher" event, it will overwrite the severity of the later !!

All moded events.txt need very close inspection.
