Crisis Severity & Chained Events

Some national events are crises — spawned from a weighted pool of crisis templates rather than hand-authored one-off events.

Severity levels

Crises are ranked, from least to most serious:

1. Low
2. Moderate
3. High
4. Critical

Higher severity crises generally carry bigger potential swings to national metrics when they resolve.

Chained crises

Certain crisis templates are configured so that a specific winning option triggers a follow-up crisis — either spawning immediately (optionally after a short delay) or simply making a related crisis more likely to appear later by boosting its odds in the spawn pool. This means the choice you and other citizens make on one crisis can shape what crisis appears next, not just the immediate metric shift.
