What can cause Barbarian Uprisings?

[Jazzepi]

I tested this in several games. In armadillo I conquered the capital of Argatha who had magic 3. My mages did not get the research bonus until I preached out the 8 levels of dominion.

Yep. Enemy magic dom doesn't work for you. Neither do enemy luck scale. It is even bad for you regarding whether the event is good or bad regardless of if it is misfortune or fortune.

But, it will determine if events can appear. A helpful necromancer will not appear if enemy luck is below 1, nor will a barbarian horde attack unless the enemy misfortune is 3.

[Jazzepi]

Barbarian hordes do only appear in misfortune 3 (might need turmoil 1 as well, not sure).

Are you sure about this? I'm positive I've gotten barbarians attacking me with misfortune 2.

THere are several kinds of barbarian attacks. I think only one is called a horde. Regardless of the name of the event one is by far bigger than the others.

[Jazzepi]

Ohh okay I was just using that word in general.

Are there any TOTALLY random events? Kristoffer seems to hate putting any in and not giving some sort of variable to it.

Also I want to thank the devs for adding to Dom3 that indepts are susceptable to events. That has made some very interesting games for me.

And how do people feel about the scales which do or do not affect others? As an RPG soloer I might like the pros and cons of dominion being able to bleed over into other peoples areas. Maybe even make use of taking harsh scales, and purpoely working at using the scales of another nation (putting a lab in their domain and purposely avoiding pushing my dominion that direction for awhile). But in player-vs-player games it might be more of an irritation than a usable strategy.

I think it's great. Enemy dominion pushing in should never be a good thing.

Some are not restricted in any way, brigand lairs is one among them. Can happen in the sea and on land at any time.

Ill omen likewise, so you can never be sure if this is an attack or just a random event.

Some magic gems events are also unrestricted.

I agree with Baalz completely. For example, I was playing a game with Ry'leh where I took a province nearby an enemy capital. That capital had high magic scales, and I had drain 1. Were I able to harvest his dominion for research I would have moved all my researchers there and gained the benefit of a dominion I didn't pay for.

High unrest can make barbarian attacks a common event IIRC, instead of a rare one. I think it's something like a rare event like this [Turmoil 1+: X barbarians attack], and a common event: [Order 1-, unrest 50+: X barbarians attack].
