Peasant's War event never ends

This bug has been fixed in the first hotfix

It is possible for the Peasant's War event to get stuck in an endless loop, where large stacks of peasant rebels will constantly spawn. This will be fixed in the first patch, according to Paradox. It is possible to edit an event file to "fix" this issue, but it will disable achievements and does not work in Ironman games.

Peasant's War fix Go to <path-to-game>\Events\ Open PeasantsWar.txt Search for had_country_flag = { flag = peasant_war days = 1000} Change 1000 to a smaller value, like 30
