Disasters is a system introduced in Patch 1.9 that replaced the previous MTTH event-based system used to simulate national disasters.
Disasters can be found under the ‘Stability and Expansion’ tab. The tab keeps track of the likelihood of any potential disaster, or the disaster that is currently in progress for a nation. Once a disaster has occurred, the nation cannot suffer the same disaster again (unless it's an estate disaster). Like revolts, progress on a disaster falls when any of the global prerequisite is not fulfilled. It is possible for a disaster progress to be "on hold" where the global prerequisites are fulfilled, but none of the monthly progress prerequisites are fulfilled.
Currently the following disasters are possible:[1]
Resistance to the growing centralization in our country has culminated in a period of general crisis and conflict between Court and Country. Depending on how we handle this time of crisis we might come out of it a stronger country than before.
Decades of feudal oppression, economic difficulties and religious intolerance have taken their toll on our nation and the population's desire for liberty is posing a serious threat to our Monarchy.
The cities and guilds have grown so powerful they assumed de facto control over our country. Real power now lies in the hands of a small group of wealthy Plutocrats.
The Vaishya trade guilds have grown so powerful that they have assumed de facto control over our country. Real political power now lies in the hands of these wealthy organizations.
A time of both social and economical problems, our nation is struggling with both famine and war as well as the opposition against the Church and aristocracy.
Nils Dacke was a well-off farmer from Småland who got so fed up with the centralism, high taxes and confiscation of church property that he led the old border county in open revolt.
Discontent with what their lack of direct influence over the government, the Janissary Corps have revolted against their sovreign and taken control over the state.
The rise of a powerful Horde on our borders is casting a grim shadow over our pretentions to possess the Mandate of Heaven. If the realm is to prosper we must pacify the Nomad Frontier.
While we have succesfully secured the title of Emperor over the Chinese our Empire is one that scarcely includes any Chinese. If we are to be seen as anything but a foreign emperor we will need to integrate the Chinese as part of our government.
