Cool Re: The most dreadful (random) event?

The problem is not the number of turns, but the fixed (max) number of events: If you have 40 provinces in the late game, you still get only .. what was it? 4? .. events ..
If max number of events would be dependant on the number of provinces owned (e.g. max 1 event per every full 5 provinces) you would be a bit safer in the first turns, but into much more hurt in the late game .. .

And, o.c., there should not be any random events and mercs during the first 6 turns (5? 10?) of the game .. they can only be unbalancing, therefore ...
