Events are one of the best and worst parts of grand strategy games. They can give you amazing things or they can totally mess up your playthrough. But you know what’s worse than random events? Guaranteed events that you didn’t know about before playing. Like the unique ones that many of the important countries have. To help you plan and strategize better, I’ve compiled a list of all of the events in EU5, with the exact requirements to get them, the exact outcomes, if they aren’t totally clear from the in-game UI, and the IDs, in case you want to mess around with the console and force some of them to happen.
If you have any problems and need extra help you can hit me up directly on Discord for answers in the help channel!
