Is there any reason why this script won't work?

Toryn: Try this:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Light of Earendil Script;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

declare_counter Light_Earendil

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType egypt
		and I_LocalFaction egypt
		and I_TurnNumber = 2
		add_events
		event 	counter Light_Earendil_accepted
		event 	counter Light_Earendil_declined
	 	date	0
	 	end_add_events
		historic_event Light_Earendil true
	end_monitor

Or this:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;Light of Earendil Script;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

declare_counter Light_Earendil

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionIsLocal
		and FactionType egypt
		and I_TurnNumber = 2
		historic_event Light_Earendil true
	end_monitor

Fixed.

Worked! Thanks guys...I had thought that the 'add event' wasn't required anymore in kingdoms...

Scripting is complicated...

Glad to help friend.

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType egypt
and I_LocalFaction egypt
and I_TurnNumber = 2


event counter Light_Earendil_accepted
event counter Light_Earendil_declined

historic_event Light_Earendil true factions { egypt }

end_monitor

Id like to add my 2 cents
you dont need the add event end add events... the above can be simplified to

monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType egypt
and I_LocalFaction egypt
and I_TurnNumber = 2
historic_event Light_Earendil true factions { egypt }
end_monitor

the following lines...
event counter Light_Earendil_accepted
event counter Light_Earendil_declined
...are simply 'declaring' these event counters. Event counters do not need to be declared. Therefore, they are not needed. BUT with that said, if you for whatever reason wish to declare them, then you are required to use the add_events and end_add_events command lines... such as
add_events
event counter Light_Earendil_accepted
event counter Light_Earendil_declined
date 0
end_add_events

All events can be called this same way.
historic_event Light_Earendil true factions { egypt }
historic_event = tells the game engine this is a historic event
Light_Earendil = the name of the event which is also used in other files.
true = determines that this event is an accept/decline event (optional)
factions { egypt }= determines which factions recieve the event (optional)
both true and factions are optional. the event would fire without them in the script (but not as an accept decline event).
