I like the option to disable crises. Its not that I dislike them in general, but every crisis I hit seems tailored to screw me.
Like, I play expansion aggressive, and I get hit with the ‘unhappiness causes riots’ crisis. I play scientific and ignore religion, and I get the ‘foreign religion causes riots’ crisis. I try a low-military diplomatic game, the crisis is barbarian hordes.
Fun fact. In statistics, we often use bootstrapping, where a single dataset is repeatedly resampled to provide estimates of the uncertainty/variance.
The idea that you can get reliable estimates of variance just by re-sampling the same data seem illogical, and the term bootstrap derives from the phrase to pull oneself up by one's bootstrap, widely thought to be based on one of the eighteenth century Adventures of Baron Munchausen, by Rudolph Erich Raspe. (The Baron had fallen to the bottom of a deep lake. Just when it looked like all was lost, he thought to pick himself up by his own bootstraps.)
