An excuse to resume my game

posting an update in the next few days with mostly bug fixes ... in original game and my work (eg incomplete ones referenced below)

you may see a few weird events at celebrations in the March update... i forgot to remove several "incomplete" items so you might see punch, kick, kick, kick because I hadnt fully fixed the text after copying an item ... the repeats should all do the same

"the flavor to them and sometimes the frequency just makes me beg for there to be another way"

not sure if you mean the celebrations or fights but its the celebration I'm working on (because I can't affect the fights). Hopefully having more variety keeps them interesting.

you can minimise the celebrations **you start** by not having wars/ weddings / dying (coronations) ... and of course not voluntarily having any to reward people

In a play though recently I will add- I see better now how the party events are important for the AI to increase their respect, otherwise it'll get trashed by their otherwise horrible choices, and so is important- and helpful once I am an Archon too- so I acknowledge that, but the flavor to them and sometimes the frequency just makes me beg for there to be another way.

No obvious way to affect the fights but next update to this mod is the other events that take place at these events

the core reason for the parties is getting to know people and similar "soft factors" just like real life. Not being invited / not attending is the "loyalty management"

I was surprised to find >70 events triggered during the celebration because only 2 stick in my memory

the fight part definitely overwhelms them and I wish I could add 'dont compete' so it skips to the status point results.

tournaments i guess is the event- they are so frequent. but maybe archons need to use it to manage loyalty?

fix the core party/violence competition event maybe??? less often, better trigger? more interesting results???

!!! Yes!!! Please do get the Bloodlines DLC involved. Your stuff is great and excellent ideas working towards stuff I like to hear and see added.
