If you skipped time, you likely skipped the date at which the event chain silently starts which is 1430.
Even if you skipped later, the event will be broken, since it's buffered to count the years starting from that date.

Thanks for the response. And no, I didn't skip quite that far ahead. Just enough to speed up the Inquisition's destruction.

I decided to play it safe just in case the event was actually coded that way, and waited out the last 5 years of the Inquisition timer. So it should still be good.

all of that stuff is handled by events\POD_endgame_events.txt

endgame events start either at 1430, or 5 years after reaching a certain part of the vatican journey

inquisitors spawn over the next 25 years, the anarch revolt happens after 20 years, convention of thorns after 63 years, the birth of the sabbat after 65 years

i don't know whether skipping time would actually let you skip the delay of the trigger_event calls. it lets you skip the date requirement of the Forever Infamous objective since that one just reads a number and compares it to the current date, but it might mess up some other stuff

if you'd rather not wait, it's probably less error prone to edit that file and change the delay of the events themselves. or for the inquisition objective, edit years_left_until_premature_inquisition_ends in common\script_values\POD_journey_values.txt

Ah, that's probably it. Since I skipped to the last 5 years of the Shadow Inquisition, I think I jumped past the Anarch Revolt.

Thanks for giving a more precise time frame, though!
