How to permanently remove Toll of Seasons?
This is by far the worst thing in the whole game and has ruined not one but several tight games by randomly spawning massive armies out of nowhere. Today I was doing fine, fighting two AI at the same time when suddenly out of nowhere an army of 3500 power appears from nowhere and thanks to the new siege nerfs, destroyed my capital city in 2 turns. At the moment it's basically an instant restart.

How do I remove it? There's no option for it in the game generation, even if I turn happenings completely off, it still happens. I couldn't find any mods for it, so are there any game files that I could manually delete that would make absolutely sure I never get it? Remove some DLC? If there's a risk of EVER seeing that ♥♥♥♥ appear again, I'd rather uninstall the game and never touch it again at this point.

Toll of Seasons comes with a lot of warnings and means to delay it. So, I don't get your situation. If it is active you have to keep some solid defensive stacks. And, you don't want the siege to ever actually begin.
I always select it, but it doesn't always show up.

According to devs, if you set happenings to low, it should no longer occur. If it does, it could be a bug.

I don't like it either, to be honest. It feels like you're playing a regular game of D&D, and the DM suddenly punches you in the face and throws all your stuff on the floor because he feels like it.

Turning off happenings is supposed to disable it. If it doesn't it must be bugged.

I have played tons of games since toll of seasons has been added and have rarely seen it pop up. Now though, the last three games I have played it has shown up every single time. I was wondering if it was bugged or if i just had terrible rng.

Anyways i think toll of seasons was added with eldritch realms if you wanted to try stop it from happening that way.
Setting happenings to low, or turning them off entirely, is supposed to disable the Toll of Seasons. If it isn't, you must be dealing with a bug.

Although, there IS a realm trait for the toll of seasons that I imagine overrides any happening settings. Might wanna check that you aren't playing on a realm with the trait in question.
I play specifically with Toll of Season map trait third game and haven’t seen it even once D: It might be bug so try it yourself, maybe picking trait disables toll now..

I'll give it a try and hopefully you're not trolling.

Happenings seem to be bugged pretty badly in the current version from what I have seen. Nothing is really behaving as expected. I have happening intensity on high and I've had like 3 happenings over the past 4 runs and 400 or so turns, none of them were toll of seasons. The only things that seem to be reliably triggering are intrigue and artifact happenings.

That trait's whole gimmick is supposed that it guarantees the Toll of Seasons WILL occur (it's supposed to be random otherwise). If it DISABLES the Toll of Seasons, we DEFINITELY have a bug.

I like Toll of Season, it’s kinda good challenge for me, but as I said, plenty of games with Toll trait and no Toll for 100 turns, and my runs sample is too small to make a proper bug report (I guess I’m only person playing with it lol).

Just so you know, there cant be 2 happenings at once. If you get an intrigue happening turn 20 and dont conclude it for 80 turns, thats 80 turns where no new happening can occur.
