How to end the never ending peasants war

[Armageddon]

You'll probably run into this eventually. If you ever trigger the peasant's war (there are several triggers, I'll skip those for now) it's a pain in the butt to get out of. The option to "end" the war is bugged and doesn't actually end the war.

The only other way to get out of the war by default is by not having a rebel attack for 1000 days. HAH! Believe me I tried everything to get rid of it but they just kept popping up.

Here's the fix:

Open up this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Europa Universalis IV\events

Open up this file: "peasantswar"

Change this section of code:

# Order is returning
country_event = {
id = peasants_war.6
title = "EVTNAME3026"
desc = "EVTDESC3026"
picture = ANGRY_MOB_eventPicture

major = yes

trigger = {
has_country_flag = peasant_war
had_country_flag = { flag = peasant_war days = 1000}
NOT = { num_of_revolts = 1 }
}

Change "flag = peasant_war days = 1000" to however many days you want the war to last after there are no revolts. I changed mine to 60 which is probably a little low but I was tired of the freaking peasants rising up against my massive armies! I think 100-200 might be more reasonable for a realistic event.

Hope this relieves your pain!

EDIT: I fixed the location of the file in question.

Wont that make your achievements disabled?

who cares about achivs? This is the first paradox games with achievements, havent gotten a single one (dunno why ~~) but it doesnt matter

EDIT: PLEASE READ: The track to making this work is the line AFTER what was posted here.

you want:


mean_time_to_happen = {

months = 72 (or whatever the default is)



to be changed to something like:



mean_time_to_happen = {

months = 1




In this intance I believe that when you have peace, and no rebels running, the next month that ticks over will give you the end of the peasants war.

There is no 'events'.txt in the file. There's an events folder, and within that there's a PeasantsWar.txt that you can alter, and it has the same code as what you pasted, so I'm assuming that's what I'm looking for.

This did not work for me. As Scotland, I eliminated all rebels, reconquered all territories, and despite having a peasant_war_days value of 1 (I had already tried values 150 and then 30 to no avail) I was unable to get the event from firing.

I was also at war.

In contrast, my other game as savoy was simple - I paid the rebels off, they went away. There is clearly some other factor present.

The reason your peasants war didn't end was possibly because the event is triggered by a random value that is modified by the values under "mean_time_to_happen". So changing the 72 months will change how quickly the event can randomly happen but the 1000 days is definitely a inhibitor as well.

No need to modify any game files.
Use the console and enter: print_flags
The list should contain the great peasants war flag.
Enter: clr_flag great_peasants_war_flag
Re-print the flag list. The flag should be gone now. If now, look for a typo.
At the beginning of next month, the effect gets removed from your country.

Not only did you necro an ancient thread but you can get rid of the disaster at day one without modifying the game state with console.

In order to get rid of the Peasants War disaster at the very first day you simply need to give in to the Peasant rebels' demands and the disaster is instantly gone. You still need to recover your stability but now it isn't 50% more expensive anymore.
