A mad wizard has created mutant animals. Spawn a number of animals of various types, and hit them with mutations. Spawn them all at a Barb city, or on a remote island! Perhaps also spawn a barbarian archmage with Chaos magic.

PRINCESS

Triggered on collapsing a lair - a beautiful princess has been rescued, this is a special non-combat unit who must be taken to one of your cities where she will be able to cast a spell which increases happiness for a certain time. Possibly, every barbarian within 10 squares will move toward her to try to recapture her!
This could also be a Quest type, with the player informed that that Princess has been taken to this particular lair and must be rescued fast (leave it too long and she turns evil, and though you don't see any chacge, when she casts the spell it does Something Rotten instead!)

HERO RISING

When a unit levels up, it is revealed that in fact their success is all down to one man. Options, leave him in the unit (unit gains +1 XP from each combat) or make him a Hero (unit loses all XP, gain a new Hero character)

CIVIL WAR

Choose a city to side with. One of your other cities declares independance (becomes barbarian). All units in this city convert too. Any unhappy cities switch to the new leader (also becoming barbarian). Gain temporary happiness in chosen "home" city as discontented people are driven out. Triggered when cities have large unhappiness.

REBEL LEADER

Spawn a Barbarian aligned Hero. Hero attracts a number of units. Unhappiness and Crime rises in all your cities while this hero lives. (the people are in fact happy, but not particularly helpful!)
 
You can post these in a thread Kael started for players to give their event ideas. Alot of them make it into the game.

1) It is hard to determine where they spawn, espescially in such a specific place.

2) This violates the princess rule.

3) There is already an event that can make a unit into a hero.

4) Maybe as part of an event chain...

5) Uneeded. Orthus and Acheron already exist. there's no need to make evnts that cause unhappiness.
 
2) This violates the princess rule.

It might not. The Princess Rule is only against things that would show up in happy fairy tales. If the Princess in question has been driven mad by the horrible things she has seen during her captivity (I'd guess either Reaver-esque horrible brutality, or else she was kidnapped by evil cultists that exposed her to That Which Man Was Not Meant To Know), then it'd be perfectly fine. By way of example:

Violates the Princess Rule:
Spoiler :
Now that the Princess is back in your capital, what shall we do?
  • Marry her to me!
  • Marry her to the brave soul that rescued her!
  • She seems spunky and independent. Let her marry whomever she chooses!

Does not violate the Princess Rule:
Spoiler :
Now that the Princess is back in your capital, what shall we do?
  • She's clearly been corrupted. We must burn her at the stake!
  • Meh, her body's still in working order. Auction her off to some nobleman.
  • There is clarity and purpose within her rantings. Get her statements interpreted, and have our people follow her edicts!
  • [reqs Mind Mana] Give the Mages Guild a few weeks to spend on her, and she'll be happily waving from the balcony just as before.
  • That girl needs psychological therapy and divine guidance! Spare no expense in helping her to come to terms with these horrors!

On a side note, wow this new list function is nifty! When did they add it?
 
The lists have been available for quite some time. I'm a huge fan of them (and colors) :)

And yeah, it'd be nice if the Event Ideas thread was stickied so that people were more prone to submitting clever ideas and they were all collected in one spot.
