.event file variable request

from Stardock Forums
This question is aimed primarily at the devs. I was wondering if it would be possible to add a few new variables into the .event files? Specifically, I'd like to see something similar to GoodPopChange, NeutralPopChange, and EvilPopChange, only for morale adjustments? For example GoodMoraleChange, etc.? I ask this, because I'm finding a good number of ideas I'm coming up with for events, should have a corresponding morale penalty/boost for the specific choices that are offered. The morale boost/penalty could be completely randomized, and the GoodMoraleChange, etc. could simply be a boolean value. A '0' would indicate no change, and a '1' would indicate that the engine should use the random values? Minimal error-checking could ensure a value of '0' for any files that don't specifically define the variable, to ensure backward-compatibility with existing events. Would something like this be possible, or would it be too much implement into the existing engine?

Thanks in advance for any insight on this. :)

Hmmm, on second thought, a boolean couldn't work, but perhaps something like 0=No Change, 1=Morale Bonus, 2=Morale Penalty? Trying to keep it short, but functional. :)

Thanks again,

Thanks so much! :) Hopefully it won't be too difficult to implement. I'll be looking forward to it if it is possible to have added. :)

Thanks again, much appreciated.
