I've had another go at 3 problematic events - the Crimean Chain, US Civil War and cleaning up India after the mutiny has been beatem.
the 3 events in this pack replace USA_Events, GBR_Events and Crimean_Crisis. Before adding them strongly suggest you back up these files. I've tested but things do go wrong.
The USA event makes a Civil War by early/mid 1861 all but inevitable. The key bit is the CSA armies will now spawn reliably. Indian mutiny just adds extra tests for odd combinations of province ownership. Crimean will see war between Russia and Turkey fairly reliably. An AI Britain or France will join in (no guarentee they will actually do anything), a player controlled France or Britain gets a CB.
I'll pass the reworked spreadsheets to the Phils so hopefully this will make any additional patches.
