Overview
Due to RL issues, I'm beginning to feel skeptical that the AMM will ever be finished to my liking. However, I decided that's no reason to hold out with portions of the mod that I'm currently happy with and have the ability to expand in what remains of my free time. Thus, I have put together the AEP: Antilogic Events Pack!
This mod component contains about forty or so events that I have put together over the last year for BtS, as well as a few adjustments to the existing events. I have modified the barbarian horde events, especially the Vedic Aryans, so they are weaker (fewer barbarians show up) and less game-breaking (the technologies required are later in the tech tree, so they happen later). The new events fall into roughly three categories: minor map events, major events, and the civics events. The minor map events were designed to resemble the tin, prarie dogs, parrots, and truffles events; they exist to add a little more variety to the minor tile bonuses in the game. The major events category includes a handful of new events that give more significant effects, such as the recruitment program that gives the player free musketmen units (these can be dangerous in the hands of a French or Ottoman player). The final category are the civics events, which all require particular civics to be triggered. There are more civics-based events for the Government category as well as for the Legal, Labor, and Economic categories. The effects are varied and add more flavor to your civic choices.
Below, I've included a teaser list of the events I've programmed. I can't find my original text files describing some of the early ones, so I don't remember their exact effects. Readers will probably notice the markings by the event names: I've marked civics events with a [C], events that don't execute properly with a '---' (these are disabled in-game currently, although all the good stuff is still there), and events that I have programmed correctly as far as I can tell but haven't gotten them in one of my playtesting games yet with an asterisk. The three broken events right now won't have any effect on the game; I hope to find the error in the coding and post a patch.
So, enjoy, and tell me what you think of the event pack!

The Download
You can download the most recent version of the mod here.
Installation
The events pack consists of three XML files and a Python file. These can be loaded as a mod (simply copy the AEP folder to your MODS directory) or as custom assets (copy the contents of the Assets folder into CustomAssets). Merging the Python files will be necessary if you have another mod that creates custom events.
Inclusion in other Mods
Go right ahead, just leave me an acknowledgment. Oh, speaking of that...

Solver gets a big shout-out here for his guide to events modding; without that, this mod wouldn't have been possible.

Previous Versions
v1.1:
- Bugfixes for event triggers in Levittown, Independent Fishers, Fishing Boats Sunk, and Overfishing. These should trigger properly now.
- Initial release of events 42-45 (Silkworm Going Extinct, Naval Proximity AAA Fuses, National Anthem, Corrupt Senate).
- Adjusted the AI weight values so the AI will be more intelligent in picking which event option to take when presented with more than one.
- Adjusted the probability and weight of a handful of events (Famous Doctor, Promising General, a few others).
- Initial release of events 1-41 (see the list below).
- Changed Solver's civilization-specific events Antimonarchists, Impeachment, and Rogue Station to trigger for any civilization meeting the triggering requirements.
- Changed barbarian horde events so they will trigger later. Vedic Aryans will spawn with half as many barbarian archers and should be easier to handle early game.
