Is Foreign Intervention implemented at all?

[Ardie]

In my latest test campaign (1.06) with the Federals I was hit by 2 really bad events:

1. Kentucky seceded and

2. Trent situation escalated.

After reading all the messages I looked through the objective page and the foreign intervention rate wasn't changed even after the escalation messages said something about 35 intervention points towards the CSA.

When I proceeded to the next turn I had CTD (the 1st one...ever...with this game).

After relaunching the game I received another Trent message...Union apologises...and things were back to normal.

Weird

So, I'm wondering if Foreign Intervention is working or does it even exist?

Does anyone have any experiences with these things?

Yes - foreign intervention exists. It is very rare. See thread here.

I've never had the "Trent situation escalated" event.

I have had the "Trent Situation Escalates" event and I too had no change in the intervention points. Could there be a problem with this event?

[Ardie]

Yes - foreign intervention exists. It is very rare.

Ah,ok. Then the problem is with the Trent escalation message.
