Whats your favorite random event?
My favorite is not having any
inb4TMIT
Yeah, tower shields is one of my favorites. I also like the inflation event, and the ones that give you free Great People.All melee units get a cover (+25% vs. archers) promotion.
Rush tiiiime!
I have never seen the Bermuda Triangle event... what happens there?Just because I look at GD slightly less often than S&T .
Like many other expansion-added gameplay aspects, events grossly lack balance, any shred of playtesting-based improvement, and have been left untouched in favor of any other number of "changes" that were deemed necessary, like forcing players to game spawn mechanics to deal with barb galleys (wanna bet they didn't test them at high levels or larger maps or BOTH?) or introducing bugs (like overflow in 3.19) and then after realizing such was done, never changing it (can't we get a 3.19a or b when it's KNOWN something introduced a bug within a day or so of release? ONE person found that sucker within hours of the patch, simply by playing and seeing how it affected overflow! ONE player!)
My personal favorites:
Vedic Aryans
Bermuda Triangle (preferably to your large naval stack)
AI gets tanks and forces you to declare war.
I sincerely hope that anyone who likes them gets the above repeatedly .

I like events, they add flavor, though it is a bummer sometimes.
I like the gold rush, because = , every little bit helps!
I also like the free tanks!!!
Since I love playing as Rome so much, I am fond of the Swordsmen quest that results in a free City Raider I promotion for all my Praetorians. Yeah, I know, like they weren't overpowered enough to begin with.
Lately though, I've been playing with events off (along with vassals, goody huts, and advanced start), and while I miss the positive events, it's nice not having to worry about or deal with the negative ones, because I agree with TMIT that many of them are unbalanced.
Now if there was just a way to turn sea barbs off while leaving land barbs on...
