There seems to be something wrong in the V38 events. I got an great axes-event and a champion leadership event but I can't see their results in the unit box. Just like the events never happened. Also according to sevopedia, the wootz steel-promotion is not available to any unit category. Not intended to be like this I presume.

Events have not been changed.
Maybe @Thunderbrd know something about promotions from events?
I don't know if the axes-promotion only applies to axeman and aboce units, at least to stone axemen this event did nothing. It was a field commander who is not attached to any other unit that got the leadership promotion without any leadership promotion icon being visible. A bit odd.
In patched V37 these promotions worked fine. Otherwise the new version seems fine, new religion icons are excellent.

@Toffer90: Anything you've been playing with here I should know about?
The leadership promotion going to a Commander has probably always been possible by this event but not correct - the event should filter for canAcquirePromotion before selecting a unit for receiving a promo it can't get. The axes promotions may only apply to actual core named Axemen. Are they in your game and still not receiving the additional promo (what promo is it exactly?)
It is starting to sound like there could be some issues afoot in canAcquirePromotion. I made one recent change but I don't think it would be making this kind of difference at all. @alberts2 mentioned some cleanup to this function in the changelog but I'm not sure when this was done... I'd think too long ago to be making trouble now.
You know, I might be able to solve these issues with a savegame.

Yeah that seems pretty much what could be going with the leadership promotion. I still don't have axemen and I think that it is the reason for the axe event weirdness. The promo was one with the axe picture and text about your people acquiring good axes. I don't know if it is related to wootz steel bonus but it looked weird in the sevopedia that this bonus does not have any unit classes that it can go to.
Haven't touched those events.
I've only made some tweaks to the "Lost at Sea", and the "Tornado" event.
Lost at Sea might still have an issue,at least there was a recent report about it hitting a subdued boar inside a city....

OK. I think these events do have a few flaws but I'm not too worried about them because they'll either need to be adapted or obsoleted eventually.
All events are fundamentally flawed as they have been a neglected part of C2C for many years now, events have not generally been adapted to all the other changes made to the mod.
One day we, I'm thinking me and TB (if he's up for it), will take a look at the entire event system and focus on how to really improve it from the ground up. Sub-par events are atm mostly just a later-problem.

Ori one of the mods was the last modder to do any major work on the events as a whole.
At least normal axemen do not get any benefit from the axe event. I'm pretty sure that it is the wootz-steel promotion event and doesn't work because this promotion does not have any unit categories that is applies for some reason. This event has worked before that I know.

Wootz-steel should be equipment when we get that going. The event should probably give a free building in all cities that produce steel so it produces this instead.
No no it has never done anything like producing steel. It only gives axemen something like 15% fight bonus and that's it. Promotion is just named as wootz steel.

It gives it to swordsmen as well and some mounted.
Then the event needs to give a building rather than a promotion because of what we want to do with equipment. Whatever we come up with it has to be the same for the other equipment events.
True, it applies to some other units as well. This event has worked fine before without buildings, I don't know why it doesn't anymore. The event came very early in the game but I don't know if that explains it but at least the wootz steel-promotion does not have any unit classes mentioned in it's pedia page for some strange reason.
