Updated for 3.13 on Oct. 8, 2007

This list of all events and Quests for BtS has been compiled primarily to facilitate the discussion about whether Random Events can be allowed for the HOF (http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ4/index.php) – but since it might be of general interest I post it here ;)

There is a grace period of 20 turns (NOT scaling with gamespeed) at the start without random events (defined in GlobalDefines.xml).
There is a chance of 1%/2%/4%/4%/6%/8%/10% per turn for any event to occur (era specific Ancient/Classical/Medieval/Renaissance/Industrial/Modern/Future).
Each event has a weight value – the chance for a specific event to occur is dependent on the combined weights of all currently allowed events.
Some events seem to scale with map size and speed – this is all for normal/standard

All Descriptions follow the following template:
Name of Event
Prereq – i.e. what is required before this event can be triggered
Obsolete – i.e. what (tech) is required to make sure the event can no longer be triggered
Active – i.e. the game decides at the start which events are included in current game, this is the chance that it is included

It looks like some of the more brutal events (e.g. Tsunami- #33- destroy a city of less than 5 people) were turned off. I wonder if they turned them off during beta testing because of balance issues, but left them in for modders.

:) I got tired of keeping track which ones are set to recurr and which ones are set to never recurr but erase all memory of them ever being triggered :crazyeye: so I did not complete that part of the list, I'll try to get to it soon...

Great stuff.

But could you explain how the "Active/Weight" ratio works?

And can you mod this so that good events happen more frequently? :)

I just combined two values to make the list shorter - so no ratio:
both can be found (and changed) in the Civ4EventTriggerInfos.xml
Active=iPercentGamesActive this value determines the probability that this event is included in the list of Events possible at the start of a new game
Weight=iWeight this value determines the chance for the event to trigger IF any event is triggered (I listed the chances per era in my first post) AND IF its Prereqs are met - what the game does is:
1 - it determines whether any event is triggered this turn
2 - it lists all events that are active AND have all prereqs met AND are not obsolete
3 - it adds all iWeight values of these events
4- it rolls the dice, with the chance of any event to occur being iWeight/Sum(iWeight) from 3
Cool. It'd be nice if you had the text for them though.

Have a look in the CIV4GameText_Events_BTS.xml it gives all of them - but parsing them here would have made everything extremely cluttered ;)

Also, once you finish all the changes (adding recurring info, any other stuff), I think it would be good to repost this to the strategy articles subsection of the strategy forum where it will not get buried as quickly.

Great job here!

Note that event 33 (Tsumnami) has an active/weight of 0/0. It is devastating! Is it only for modding? Sorry, I just saw Uerd mentioned this also.

Event 139 has an active/weight of 65/0. at 0, how would it ever occur? I wonder if tere is a special trigger, like a city is razed?

I think most of these look good. Some of the military ones, which give free promotions to each of a type of unit (like 143, to gunpowder units) seems a bit strong. 140 (gives 3 settled great people) also seems quite strong.

yes that one is disabled by default

the city razing is a trigger, but the iweight value puzzles me as well - but the way the code is written an iWeight=0 *might* actually give it a chance of 1/Sum(iWeight) (if the SorenRandNum generator can give 0)...

I think most of these look good. Some of the military ones, which give free promotions to each of a type of unit (like 143, to gunpowder units) seems a bit strong. 140 (gives 3 settled great people) also seems quite strong.

Actually - each of the results I list there are the options you can pick - so you get one settled great person but you can choose which...

Elandal

Aug 08, 2007, 04:48 PM

140 (New Dynasty) doesn't give three great people but a choice of one of the three. Same is with other cases where multiple results are listed.

I'd say all the unit promotions are situational. Certainly Persia or Egypt getting War Chariots quest or Horseshoe event sounds powerful. But then again, Tower Shield will help in any axe rush as the normal target is Archer, and will help in the middle ages with maces attacking longbows. I've had Elite Swords with Boudica, and certainly they did work wonders. Later promotions are less powerful because in early game being able to rush with 1-2 axes less means being able to train eg. a worker or settler instead.

Combining promotions might be game breaking. Out of interest I have tried to break it by triggering events manually using debug console. I'd say Egypt with Combat 1 + Flanking 1 war chariots came out too powerful, but that map happened to be perfect for rushing as well - I got 5 capitols (large map with 11 civs) before I decided to stop and try something else.

Certainly some catastrophes are nasty as well, but most of the time it takes a string of bad events to really break a civ.

The single event I'd point out is Horticulture, as it has a chance of providing free scientist and it has not prerequisite techs, time, civics.. That is, it can occur very early - as soon as events activate after grace period. I did get that with Peter the Great once very early in the game, and being philosophical got my first Great Scientist before I had Writing. If it had some prerequisite that made certain it can't occur very early, it'd be just fine.

how can I change this value in mod?

There is a chance of 1%/2%/4%/4%/6%/8%/10% per turn for any event to occur (era specific Ancient/Classical/Medieval/Renaissance/Industrial/Modern/Future).

It's to low to me in quick, normal and epic games. Perhaps it should be changed by speed.
You cannot easily change it by speed, but if you want to adjust the values for the eras you can just open ...\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\GameInfo\CIV4EraInfos.xml using any text editor and change the values within the <iEventChancePerTurn></iEventChancePerTurn> tags for each era.

Nice! One thing though...I looked at all the events, and didn't find the one extremely good one that I got while playing the game. I got a (I forget the event name) random event which gave me the option of 1 of 3 settled super specialists -- Great Prophet, Great Artist or Great Merchant. Did I just miss it?

This list of all events and Quests for BtS has been compiled primarily to facilitate the discussion about whether Random Events can be allowed for the HOF (http://hof.civfanatics.net/civ4/index.php) – but since it might be of general interest I post it here ;)

Not that my opinion matters, but I think Events should be disabled for HoF submissions.

Some of these can be utterly game-making/breaking. Just last night I got Cover to all my melee units, which facilitated the destruction of Rome like a hot knife through butter -- something I know would have otherwise been much more difficult.

EDIT: Then again, a well-placed BW goodie hut can also be pretty game-making, and I don't know anything about goodie huts being turned off. So ...

hoopsnerd

Aug 09, 2007, 04:22 PM

yeah, goodie huts and/or random seed should be turned off for HoF submissions too... technically, if you had enough patience and started isolated, you could load/save yourself into getting a technology from every goodie hut... "Hi, I'm in the Hall of Fame, but I used goodie huts to discover Bronze Working, Metal Casting, Writing and Code of Laws, then I somehow managed to build the Oracle for Civil Service..."

i'm a noob in XML, and i never understand it, the first time I heard it it was in here, so I know nothing about it... but i want to unlock event #33 (tsunami)
can someone tell me exactly what to do?
I know must go to: "C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\Events" but now what do I choose; eventinfos, eventschema or eventriggerinfos?
I think it is triggerinfos but I do i enable it or choose the % it happens in the game?
I saw post # 10, but I still have doubts...
1: open .../Firaxis Games/Sid Meier's Civilization 4/Beyond the Sword/Assets/XML/Events/CIV4EventTriggerInfos.xml
2: search for <EventTriggerInfo>
<Type>EVENTTRIGGER_TSUNAMI</Type>, inside the <EventTriggerInfo> </EventTriggerInfo> tags for this event:
3: change the value of <iPercentGamesActive>0</iPercentGamesActive> to whatever you like (0 to 100) 0 means active in 0% of games, 100 means active in 100% of games.
4: change the value of <iWeight>0</iWeight> to whatever you like (-1 to any positive value) -1 means will activate whenever the prereqs are met, 0 has the lowest chance any higher increases the chance per turn (5000 is the highest used in the game I think).
5: save
6: play a game of ensured destruction ;)

Great work for Random events, ORI :goodjob:

I think no one is game-breaker, unless the tsunami doesn't occur in a small city and in the early game.

My opinion is to left this a player option.

And the Unrestricted Leaders can be interesting, probably this too can be an option.

I don't think the quests look un-fun, but I like that many of them are pretty difficult. I've only been able to complete a couple of them so far, so some of the more difficult ones (Holy Mountain, etc...) are now goals for future games.

Tsunami is off by default (0 chance of inclusion per game) - I guess they just left the code for modders who want really destructive stuff...

you have to change the following value for each Era:

this is a percent value so 1 means 1% chance per turn, 2 means 2% chance per turn and so on (I would not try something like 101 :evil: )

i'm sure ori's method in post #34 to get more events works, he's never let me down. i use a different way that i learned from solver, since i found it first, in the thread with his mod that adds more events/quests.

to increase the chance of all events:
There's a variable in GlobalAssets.xml - called something like EVENT_PROBABILITY_DIE_SIDES or along those lines. It's at 100. If you set it to a lower number, you'll get more events - though I wouldn't recommend anything less than 50.

the variable is actually EVENT_PROBABILITY_ROLL_SIDES.

to increase the chance of a specific quest (might work for an event too, i haven't tried this one):
In the Civ4EventTriggerInfos.xml file, find the triggers for those quests (like EVENTTRIGGER_HOLY_MOUNTAIN) or something. They'll have a variable, near the start of the entry, called iWeight - if it's 100, set it to a higher value (like 200) to increase the chance of that event. Don't touch triggers with an iWeight value of -1.

gotta love how he and ori both warn us what numbers not to use *giggle*!

signed, cheater cheater pumpkin eater who gets a kick and a giggle out of events. well, depending on what they are and who they happen to. genghis got some horseshoe improvement making his mounted troops the best in the world last night ooooooooh boy!

ori

Sep 07, 2007, 06:33 AM

What Kmad says is even easier: if you want to have more events overall go that route, if you want to change the way it is distributed over the eras use what I said above.
And the thing with what values not to use is easier upfront then having to explain why it didn't work in the first place ;)

stickie would be great, i have it bookmarked in the meantime ;).

does anybody know whether there's a quest limit? what i mean is, can you only have one until you succeed or fail, the game won't give you others? that would stink, particularly if you get one in the "build 7 harbors" quest in OCC. only way to clear that from your log would be to reach a tech that makes it obsolete. if there is a limit, i wish there was a "nah, i'm lazy and don't want this quest, go away" option.

The Bermuda Triangle Event sounds like a good one to use to your advantage. What if you modified the files so that when the perquisites for the Bermuda Triangle are met, it happens. You could stop AI fleets dead in the water in the modern times, while you stick to the coast and win (or you use your fleet of Frigates which you couldn't upgrade because inflation got too high or you just can't afford it)

2.you get 15% of remaining tech cost for a tech AND pay gold (5% of tech cost) for a chance for 3
3.you get +15% of remaining tech cost for a tech
================

It looks like result 3 is the same as result 1. Is that intentional? If so, could you clarify result 2, is the "chance for 3" in reference to result 3 or 3 techs?

Thanks for the clarification Ori, after I'd really started analyzing and trying to figure out how to reword things to fit in the tiny columns, I figured that was probably the case, but wanted to be sure (3 TECHS woulda been UBER powerful, but possible I suppose).

New Question, just for my own education. If a result does something to more owned cities than you presently have, will it credit you for future cities? For instance, if the result says my State Religion spreads to 10 cities, and I only have 5, will the next 5 cities I build gain my State Religion, or is it a one-shot?

Got a nasty, nasty event last night, but a quick glance at the lists didn't help. First time I've seen it in 40+ games, so I thought I'd check here.

Hammy caused "massive upheaval" (or the like) in my capital, and I lost both improvements (mine + farm + fishing boats) and town bldgs (lighthouse). Ouch.

So is this an event that I missed :crazyeye: in the lists posted at the top? I don't think he ever got a Great Spy (I had the GW, and he lagged in techs) for the Infiltrate mission, and I can only imagine how many points something like that would take. Should have taken a screen cap, I know. And there was nothing in the log.

(The happy ending: Shortly thereafter I had knights, and Hammy still hadn't figured out that whole Feudalism thing. :hammer: )

NB: Just playing BtS 3 out of the box. No patches, no mods other than Blue Marble.
:hmm: there are some events that do kill city buildings and there are some that kill improvements but both I have not seen...

Is there a way for us to limit the sudden appearance of Barbs as a result of an uprising? Too often they happen why do not have some sort of chance of even having a resemblance of a defence. It would be nice for them to be limited in time or turns so that they appear when you should have enough defence, or if they do happen early, then they should have smaller numbers earlier.
Well one could either add a new loop with an additional tech prereq (or change the existing ones), one could add another loop that would allow these uprisings only to occur if more than 1 player know the prereqs or even if all of them know them, and one could change the numbers spawned. All of those are in CvRandomEvenInterface.py and can be modded with a text editor, though it would need some discussion on what would be more balanced without changing them into free XP for the civ thats affected ;)

Some questions and observations.
1. How many events are likely to be valid in any given game ? Is there in fact a limit ? And how many are likely to be triggered ?
2. It would appear that events #6, #20, #27, #30, #78 and #79 should be active in all games, since they all have active = 100. Correct ?
3. Has anybody ever seen event #7, "Man named Jed" ? The trigger conditions seem wildly improbable, although with a weight of 5000 triggering must be highly probable if ever those conditions are met. Also, this should surely go obsolete with Sci. Meth., which reveals Oil. Sub-question: when a resource is revealed by tech discovery (or Jed !) does it becaome visible to all players or only to the revealer ?
4. A result from some events merely says "you pay X gold". Does this always counter the potential loss, i.e. should the result be, for example, "you pay X gold and keep the Theatre" ?
5. When a result shows "chance of 3" does this always mean "chance of result 3 in addition" ?
6. Some results show a gain by a building: is this once only or per turn ? Presumably tile gains are per turn ?
7. Some results give a free promotion to certain units or unit types. I believe this applies only to new units, not to "all" which would include any existing ones. Correct ?
8. Event #139, Partisans - shows weight zero, so ought not to occur. Huh ?
9. Event #37 shows no condition for obsolescence.
10. Events #99-103 ought not to occur if game is set for "no barbarians", but is this the case ?
11. There is apparently no religious Quest available with Hinduism. Why ?

Some questions and observations.
1. How many events are likely to be valid in any given game ? Is there in fact a limit ? And how many are likely to be triggered ?
There is no hard limit - every single event is looked at and if it is decided to be active it is. How many are likely to be triggered? no idea - this depends on the number of players and the number of turns the game prgresses...

2. It would appear that events #6, #20, #27, #30, #78 and #79 should be active in all games, since they all have active = 100. Correct ?Events with iActive = 100 are active in all games, yes.

3. Has anybody ever seen event #7, "Man named Jed" ? The trigger conditions seem wildly improbable, although with a weight of 5000 triggering must be highly probable if ever those conditions are met. Also, this should surely go obsolete with Sci. Meth., which reveals Oil. Sub-question: when a resource is revealed by tech discovery (or Jed !) does it becaome visible to all players or only to the revealer ?
It sort of becomes obsolete, since it cannot be triggered if there is no oil resource that has not yet been discovered, but the trigger does indeed not obsolete - it would probably be more efficient if the game did not have to check this every turn...
Discovery of resources is for the player only.

4. A result from some events merely says "you pay X gold". Does this always counter the potential loss, i.e. should the result be, for example, "you pay X gold and keep the Theatre" ?
Those events were I just wrote you pay xxx do not result in anything else, sometimes it says pay xxx and lose the building, then that is what happens. Of course this is only true if there are no mistakes in this list :rolleyes:

5. When a result shows "chance of 3" does this always mean "chance of result 3 in addition" ?
I should have been more explicit there, and might rewrite it if I find time. Yes that is what it means, you have the result and a chance that the result no.x also occurs.

6. Some results show a gain by a building: is this once only or per turn ? Presumably tile gains are per turn ?
an event like "library gains 2 culture" does indeed mean "library gains 2 culture/turn" - maybe another thing I should be more explicit whenever I update this next.

7. Some results give a free promotion to certain units or unit types. I believe this applies only to new units, not to "all" which would include any existing ones. Correct ?
all units means just that all units that exist and/or will come into existance

8. Event #139, Partisans - shows weight zero, so ought not to occur. Huh ?
what solver says :) it is also the only one I know of that caused CTDs in 3.02/3.03 because of the drafting units bug...

9. Event #37 shows no condition for obsolescence.
see one mistake less in the list :) (the prereq somehow moved into the obsolete line and the "None" for obsolete got lost on its way from my computer to this forum :rolleyes:)

10. Events #99-103 ought not to occur if game is set for "no barbarians", but is this the case ?
this is indeed the case

11. There is apparently no religious Quest available with Hinduism. Why ?
Does Sid himself know this? ;) Seriously the answer is: because the designers did not include one...

Quest13:
Warships

Some of Solver's Events have a zero chance of occurring, like Rabbi, Golden Buddha, and Preaching Researcher. They appear to be really beneficial...but are these triggered by Python scripts?

In any case, I'd like to add a couple more so that every religion has its own event before enabling them, just to make sure it's fair.

a couple days ago i got the Warships quest for the first time. the task there is "Build default number of players for this world size Triremes (7 for standard)"

i finished it, and waited but didn't get a message that i was done. i made sure it wasn't obsolete. i checked the log, and my statistics page, and it clearly said Triremes Built 7 (or whatever the number was). however, by the time i built the last one, i'd already upgraded 2 to caravels. so statistics was showing Current 5, Built 7. that wasn't enough to get credit, i had to actually have 7 in my possession to finish the quest. which seemed odd to me, the game uses the word Built there doesn't it? but that probably isn't a bug, just vague phrasing.

if i was in charge of the world, i'd also tweak the wording of some to make it clear that UUs count. like, when you have to build caravels for Harbormaster, a note that if you're Joao, carracks count. i know it now, since i had it as him (and the fast movement kicked pirate booty!!!), but when i first saw it i wasn't sure i would qualify.

but the real reason i'm posting yet again is that yesterday i failed a quest because an AI finished it first :eek:! i'd never had that happen before, altho i knew it was possible in theory. it was national sports league, for collosseums, and zara built his while i was goofing off (i didn't have SoZ, so i knew i wouldn't get a golden age so i didn't make it a priority). what a brat!

Unique units at least count - I've done Elite Swords with Gallic Warriors and War Chariots with War Chariots. Upgrading counts - I've done Noble Knights by upgrading Immortals. The question is not about training nor about specific unit, but rather about having such number of units of specific type (eg. for Noble Knights you need Knight -type units, which includes Camel Archers and so on) in your possession at one time.

yeah i figured both of those things out. they could explain it better is what i mean. i'd have waited on upgrading my triremes if i'd known *giggle*. since it says "you must build" i figured i had to build from scratch but once they were built then i could do whatever i wanted. i'd never have tried upgrading to the knights for that quest, thanks for the tip!

ori

Oct 15, 2007, 04:41 AM

yes, the game just checks every turn if the required buildings/units are present, it does not keep a tally of builds - so whether you pop the triremes from a hut :mischief: or they are gifted to you or they come into existence by divine intervention (i.e. worldbuilder :evil:) or you actually build them it will need to have the required number present when it checks to complete the quest successfully - the text could be more specific, but I assume that they just thought that people would just build the stuff as soon as possible and not think about actually using them :)

gc.getPlayer(player#).trigger(event#)
In SP games, human player is always player 0. Event numbers you have to check - they're simply enumerated from the XML, and can be found by eg.

i just got a great event for the circumstances. i'm doing the late game finish off domination by razing cities and resettling to eliminate that annoying revolt-period thing. 5 turns until my next Great Artist is born. then i get this random event:
http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p285/kmadcandy/GreatArtistEvent.jpg

i thought it was a settled GA, like with the ice sculpture event. but then i saw an actual do-whatever-i-want-with-him Great Artist there and was very happy! i looked thru the list and saw this one:

Event9:
Hymns and Sculptures
Prereq: City with 1 cathedral (any religion) AND 10 cathedrals built globally
Obsolete: None
Active/Weight: 20/200
Result:
1.Free Artist specialist in chosen city
which obviously is what happened. even after it happened to me, looking at that wording made me think i should have gotten a specialist not an actual great guy. it wasn't until i scrolled back in the log and saw the words about religious music and scripture that i was sure that was the same event. so in your copious free time, you might want to rephrase that to "Free Great Artist in chosen city". then again i'm a permanoob so maybe everybody else gets it.

it was superspifffy! now i can keep *two* of pacal's cities when i start on him after saladin's demise. i'm definitely keeping the one where he built the hanging gardens. +1 :health: for the last 3 turns can be mighty helpful you know :)

Do the quests that require you to build x number of buildings include UBs?
I'm asking because I got the "Horse Whisperer" quest while playing as Mongolia and was asked to build 8 stables.
I managed to finish 9 Gers before the Renaissance Era hit, whereupon I was immediately told that I had failed.
Is this a bug? If so, then how can the quests be fixed to apply to UBs? If not, then why was I given an uncompletable quest?

all quests should also use the relevant UB (and they do in all cases I know) - If it does not work in your case, do you have a save from before the quest failed?

I'm more interested in the quests part. So far i have got 3 in my games. The first was maybe the War Chariots, i failed because i didn't know what to do with it plus i didn't even see the horse anymore near yet. The 2nd was the Holy Mountain, it takes time but the reword was good. Then, yesterday I got the Guns Butter, it made me built a lot of unit that i didn't really need. And after finishing it, i found that the rewards were not all for you. You have to pick one of the rewards. Well, I picked GA.

I am trying to edit the game to remove or modify the barbarian random events (5 barbarian archers/spearman/etc,)
I am looking in the BTS Civ4EventTriggersInfos.xml file and I don't see any pre-req. technologies for any of the barbarian random events (Goths, Huns, Vedic, etc.) - while I can see for other random events, multiple pre-reqs for some of them.

I will re-install to see if some patch or mod maybe messed things up.
don't reinstall :)
those prereqs are coded in the python file that is responsible for them :) (the prereqs in this case are peculiar because they require any player to know them instead of one player to know all of them - the xml can cope with the latter, the python code is needed for the former)
If you want to get rid of those events just set ipercentgamesactive to 0
the file you want to modify is \assets\python\entrypoints\cvrandomeventsinterface .py

If you're trying to get rid of the event altogether, it would be easier to edit CIV4EventTriggerInfos.xml and change <iPercentGameActive> to "0" for the events you want to disable. (Or just remove the entire XML trigger info for the event altogether.)

Here's a quick observation: why do only a handful of Civs get additional, Civ-specific events, and even then, America's Impeachment provides virtually no benefit as compared to France's Anti-Monarchists?

Do you think that making these events available to all civilizations, at least while there are so few Civ-specific events, would be a good idea?

Well....random events aren't necessarily supposed to benefits, they are just that -- random. I'd say if the events are reasonable (and reasonably linked to the Civ) then I'd be inclined to leave them as-is. I have to admit, I always thought that the anti-Monarchists event should have involved more rioting in the streets, but that's me. ;)

(Also: in 3.13 Impeachment is bugged...per Solver's original mod, the first option is supposed to provide only +1 happy face in all cities, not 6 unhappy faces.)

I'm not saying they should all provide benefits, I just think it may be unfair to give a particular Civ a "leg up" on the opposition by giving it favorable random events. I thought that Impeachment event looked pretty horrible as well, despite the fact that I've only played America twice, although it is good to know that was a bug. I'll correct it in my copy.

For example, I'm thinking that I'll change the Anti-Monarchists event to require the Hereditary Rule and Organized Religion civics, or something else that reflects the status of France which inspired this event, without specifically demanding the player be France. The Dissident Priest event could be applied to more civilizations as well, and Impeachment could affect any Civ running Universal Suffrage and Free Speech.

At least, until I come up with another 30 or so unique events for every civilization, I might try doing this.

Although, I suppose I'm drawing a pretty fine line. There are already events that require specific civics, and I've already started programming events that require particular Civic combos as well. Plus, if I can find a way to pull out leader traits in Python, I have a few ideas for leader trait-specific events, so those will only affect a handful (at most, roughly 10 or so) leaders. Events based on the various religions don't strike me as that unfair, because there are no restrictions on Civilizations in terms of picking religions, so long as they have that religion present in at least one city.

Although, I suppose I'm drawing a pretty fine line.

I understand what you're saying and why, but I disagree with it philosophically. Here's why: It's hard enough to design a balanced event that works properly -- if you wait until you script 30 of them before releasing them, that'll be well into next year (unless this is all you do for a week or so.) If you release them initially as generic events that are appropriate for any civ, then there really isn't any reason for them to be later restricted to one civ.

My approach in general with civ-specific events is to give the player several options with varying costs and benefits. Some low-cost (or no-cost)/low-reward choices along side higher-cost or higher-risk/higher-reward choices. I think as long as you add these type of civ-specific events, then it isn't necessary to

[The only exception in my own mod was "Greek Fire", which I added just because I missed the Dromons of Civ III....though now that I think about it, I might require the player to pay a certain amount of gold to gain the benefit from that event in the next update, since it is kind of unfair to get Blitz triremes that will eventually become free Blitz destroyers without paying anything....]

And since you're working on your own project, are you doing any sort of Serfdom-related event? I've used that civic exactly twice in two years, so I'm trying to come up with some sort of event that will encourage the player (or force the player) to switch to that civic....

I know exactly what you mean...but I don't mean to balance all the random events exactly. Just to have something for every Civ, that is positive (read: nobody gets horribly shafted just because they picked X Civ).

Byzantium was one of my favorite Civs in Civ3...I also miss the Sci/Sea combo of Theodora combined with those flame-throwing dromons.

I am planning on a Serfdom event (but it's not finalized yet), I have a Free Religion event idea that I haven't coded yet, and I'm working on a couple more government Civic events, so that each one (except Despotism) will have 2 events coupled to it. I think Paranoid Senator is going to turn out great if I can program it properly. I'm throwing around some ideas for a Caste System event, but I don't have anything really good yet. Real life has been a pain recently, so although I was able to code 8 events in roughly a couple days, I don't think I can repeat that.

Between the two of us, if we can come up with enough events, it might be possible to have a unique event for every Civ. But, thinking big picture here: what makes certain events unique to a Civilization vs. all the Civilizations? Certainly, any civilization near woods has had its forest fires, tornados, and other natural disasters, so those should be universal. But look at the other events, like the invention of the halberd or something like that (it's late, I'm not thinking well). If the conditions are right, shouldn't every Civ be eligible for every event, good or bad?

I have one question about the federal reserve event (event64), the one that reduces inflation.

its a weird python code - basically how it *should* work is that war is declared and on the same turn the other player attacks units that are within your borders - now with the AI declaring war this is not something uncommon - since that is the way the AI usually declares (by moving its units into your borders). Basically this event can happen if the you or any player declares war by crossing the victims border and attacking a unit at the same time.

So if you want this event to happen, you need to put a few units on your borders, so they can be attacked on the first turn of war...

So if you want this event to happen, you need to put a few units on your borders, so they can be attacked on the first turn of war...
:yup: - but obviously this is not an event that fires always...

Dear all,

first thank you for the advices shown above.however,i m desperate and very dissapointed and i will explain why.
i m playing always small map,archipelago epic or marathon.this is because i can contol easily 2-3 cities easily,and the same way i can control my rivals/friends growing.
but,when the quests appear,they require insane numbers.for example,the warships quest,demand construction of 18 triremes.if you decide to built them,it is mathamatically certain that you loose precious time(specially in monarch/emperor dificulty levels)cause you need to built vital improvements.
so,i beg of you,can please someone show me an example in xml,so that the quest can be completed an easy number,small number 2-3 triremes?
:(

makrisgialos,

See CvRandomEventInterface.py, and search for "Warships". I think this is the code that you want to examine:

def canTriggerWarshipsDone(argsList):
kTriggeredData = argsList[0]
player = gc.getPlayer(kTriggeredData.ePlayer)

iNumUnits = gc.getWorldInfo(gc.getMap().getWorldSize()).getDef aultPlayers()
iUnitClassType = CvUtil.findInfoTypeNum(gc.getUnitClassInfo, gc.getNumUnitClassInfos(), 'UNITCLASS_TRIREME')

if player.getUnitClassCount(iUnitClassType) < iNumUnits:
return false

return true

This bit o' code basically says that the number of units necessary to complete the quest = default number of civs for that particular map.

I suspect that either (a) you're using a map with the default number of civs set to 18, or (b) you've otherwise changed the random events code so that iNumUnits = 18.

Note that DEFAULT number of civs is not the same as the number of civs that you're playing with. For instance, if you're playing on a small size Terra map, the default number of civs for that map script and size is 5. So even if you've started the game via CUSTOM GAME and set it so that there are 18 civs on the map, if the Warships quest is triggered, it will still only require you to construct 5 warships to fulfill the quest.

However, I must now put on my nit picking hat, and only because it's happened quite a few times on these pages, it's "lose" not "loose." The former means you no longer have something and the latter is what you do to your belt after eating a large meal.

Ori , do you know exactly how the uprising events work in 3.17? I've checked the XML and it definitely points out to the Python ( a thing that I'm clearly unskilled in ( in spite of my programming skills... c'mon, I know Fortran :wallbash: ) , besides having more to do now than learning it ;) )......

ori

I have not patched yet - something screwed up my install and I need to reinstall - I'll do this this weekend and then look at it. I'll tell you then :) (I'll probably update this list this week anyway)...

ori

Jun 21, 2008, 03:54 PM

ok uprising:
I assume you want to know how the counter unit thing works - there is now a counter unit defined for each uprising event:
Huns (Horse Archer) -> Spearmen
Vandals (Swordmen) -> Axemen
Goths (Axemen) -> Chariots
Philistines (Spearmen) -> Axemen
Vedic (Archers) -> Archers

now when the event triggers the game loops through all your cities - if ONE of them can train the counter then the event can go forward - if none can the event dies.

r_rolo1

Jun 21, 2008, 04:05 PM

The counter stuff is per civ, any civ or all civs? I'm seeing the human player catching with Deity AI uprisings if I understand it well..... :

Refar is right - there is a special unit_ai for the uprising units which targets them to a specific player - and this player has to be able to build the counter (note: not have one) in at least one city. This means: when you do not plan to build any horse/metal units: don't hook the resource up...

Edit: x-post...

kazapp

This means: when you do not plan to build any horse/metal units: don't hook the resource up...
I guess this isn't happening too often. That you hook up Copper/Horse without immediately starting to build at least one of the new shining units?

I would like to rephrase that advice to "don't hook up early resources to an isolated town" with its follow-up "don't hook up early resources unless you can defend the trade route to your production city".

I mean, it would be kinda both sucky and awesome for a normal barbarian to pillage the roads connecting your Copper city to the rest of your budding empire only for a bunch of Swordsmen appearing at the other end of your empire the turn after... :crazyeye:

PS. What happens in this scenario:
1) You (or the AI next door) get hit by one of these hordes
2) You complete Great Wall the next turn

Do these special barbs get a new mission in life? Do they revert to standard barb behavior? Or what?

r_rolo1

Jun 22, 2008, 03:53 AM

In 3.13 they go berserk elsewhere ( sometimes they join to normal barbs and make nice barb SoD, pretty capable of taking civs down ( with raging barbs it happens a lot ) ). I suppose that in here the drill is the same.....

kazapp

Jun 22, 2008, 04:57 AM

These lists doesn't contain the extras info, do they? For instance, the Elite Swords quest say it gives a little extra if you're in Hereditary Rule when you complete it. This fact, coupled with exactly what you're getting extra is missing from the Quests spoiler, but would be really useful to have when you read up on a particular event (mostly quest events, when you are to decide if it is worth pursuing)

ori

Jun 22, 2008, 05:22 AM

Actually they do - with the elite swords I missed it since that prereq is in the Python files instead of the xml files like most. The second option is only available if you have Hereditary rule.
Fixed - :thanx:

Fair enough. It reminds me of a debate some time ago in Bhruic's patch thread where it was debated whether the meteor event which could have uranium appear on forest and then be mined without clearing the forest should be allowed. For memory, Bhruic left it alone.

ori

yes it is alive and well :)

troytheface

Jun 23, 2008, 04:58 AM

uranium? i thought meteors brought nickel and iron. A meteor event that comes early should allow one to build iron based units with one Great General that gets nickel plated armor and weapons unless its a ship in which case it gets a defense bonus.
If the meteor event comes later than you get a crater or a tungooska (sp) anihilation of a forest.

PieceOfMind

Jun 23, 2008, 06:47 AM

Well the problem was simple. Having this event meaned that you could have a uranium resource on a forest WITH a mine. The reason you could get this weird situation was that you could pay to have the mine built immediately. If you were to wait and build the mine yourself you would have to lose the forest. Granted you would have to clear the forest to rebuild the mine should any naughty spy destroy it anyway, it's not a big issue.

I think Bhruic left it alone because there was no clear rule anywhere about what improvements can and can not exist on a tile at the same time.

kazapp

Jun 23, 2008, 08:14 AM

Ah thanks. I guess it's just a mostly unused feature of the Civ engine (you can have forested mines in WB, for instance) to combine forests with improvements (camps are the exception that proves the "rule" I believe).

Jun 23, 2008, 08:23 AM

Regarding the "crusade" quest it says "Declare War on the owner of the Holy City,... ".

I just got this quest when I'm already at war with the HC owner. This nuance is lost from the description (by stating a DoW is mandatory it gives the impression you must be at peace to trigger the event).

Thinking about this I must ask if this event auto-DoWs the HC owner? Or perhaps you are presented with the option to go to war when the event first pops up (and by declining, you auto-fail the quest I presume?) when at peace? Or perhaps the event only fires when you've already at war (like in my case)?

I haven't switched to 3.17 yet and I have never seen a Slave Revolt outside my capital yet, after thousands of turns (and dozens of in-capital revolts).

Are you saying this event was programmed to randomly (and uniformly) choose the city even pre-patch? I find that hard to believe, unless you qualify that statement by the chance of an out-of-capital revolt somehow begin significantly lower than a revolt in the capital.

No... I had hundrets of slave revolts in 3.13 ( oh god, those things were annoying when using Beuaro ), and had 1 slave revolt outside my capital ( that had been heavily whipped before, BTW ). I would bet that the event was heavily biased towards the capital, but ( thoretically ) could happen anywhere ,even in 3.13...

Mesousa

Jun 23, 2008, 03:06 PM

If I recall correctly, I experienced slave revolts in a city that wasn't the capital in only one game before 3.17 - after having moved the palace, the revolts kept occuring in the previous, initial capital, instead of the new one. Might have been coincidence, of course.

TheMeInTeam

Jun 24, 2008, 12:46 PM

I had a couple out of the capitol pre-3.17, although the patch seems to have tweaked the incidents in favor of non capitol cities, although the bulk still seem to be in the capitol.

I really hate this event, and that it's random. It can be game breaking. It HAS been game breaking. I wish they'd code in something that modified revolt odds based on # of whips or # of pop whipped in THE CITY THAT WHIPPED. It's really stupid that your capitol can have never whipped anything and still get the revolt, while cities that have whipped 8 times are far less likely to.

The events have been bothering me so much lately I might play with them off from now on even in SP. I can't play with them on in multiplayer.

Hi,

I am a newbie to writing in this forum so hopefully someone can help out as I noticed the topic is related to my problem.

Actually, I have BTS and have experienced the TXT_FILE problems. I know that there is a 3.17 patch available but I haven't been able to install it as the system says that must have CIV IV installed on computer. I have a Chinese version that BTS came bundled with CIV IV, so maybe that affects things.

Anyway, I went through some of the forums and understand that I can change some text files so I updated all of the city names and new civilizations using the XML files.

However, I note the the event area also has certain formulas that are referred to in the TXT files in the XML files, I don't have a clue how to organise this. Basically I am getting notifications during the game advising that TXT_KEY_EVENT_HAPPY_HUNTING is occuring. I know I can simply add a text file in the XML document but that doesn't describe what is happening.

Is there any way I can get a copy of the relevant XML file relevant to the EVENTS triggers to insert into my XML files to give meaning to the pop-ups?

Actually, same problem also with the whole spy and espionage issue.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

Hi,

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Actually, I got the latest Vista update which includes the latest version 6 of XML. It has been installed but I am still having the TXT problems even though I have followed all the instructions in the link you provided. Anyway, I am sure it is not because of me running Vista, rather, missing files in my Civ 4 installation 9and yes I have tried reinstalling a few times and also clearing the cache, etc).

I am pretty sure my installed versionof Civ 4 BTS is missing certain files relevant to the BTS extension pack as specifically, new civilizations only found in BTS have the TXT problem. Also, there were TXT problems with the corporation functions as well as the spy functions and new MODs specific to BTS.

I looked at some modding threads and realised I could manually insert relevant text to match up with all of the TXT errors I was seeing so I manually edited the Text files under the Assets folder in the main game of Civ 4. However, I soon realised there were way too many erros to fix manually and especially given the spy functions and trading foreign advisor functions which have specific functions and mathematical equations being referred to, eg cost of relevant mission for spy, chance of success, pop-uo the people demand xyz building, etc.

Anyway, it makes it hard to play the game as my foreign advisor screen is all garbled and I have now details of any of the spy functions and any way of being able to use it.

I was hoping to get copies of the actual text files that are used specifically for BTS so I could manually copy them into my Civ 4 game.

I hope this makes sense and if anyone could help out it would really be appreciated.

Regards.

- But I still assume that the problem is with different language settings between your windows version and BtS
2) the unmodded xml files while available to anyone who installs the game are arguably part of the proprietary files that come with your game purchase. As such I doubt that this forum would allow spreading them...

Hello.

I have a question about the Slave Revolt event.

It seems to have changed a bit since the 3.17 patch, not only in that it can now happen in other cities than the capital, but also in that, if you choose the 3rd option (do nothing), the revolt is more likely to go on.

Before 3.17, I would typically get 1 or 2 turns of rebellion, 3 when unlucky and 4 only once in dozens of games. Now, I never get less than 2 turns, and the typical duration is 3 to 4 turns...:mad: So much so that I'm starting to wonder wether it's still better to wait than to crack down on the rebels... :scan:

Is this just a streak of bad luck?

kazapp

Sep 25, 2008, 02:04 AM

Well, I know I always chose "do nothing" before (losing a pop point is worse than one or two rounds of revolt), so I wouldn't be surprised if the event got tweaked.

Makes Spiritual better...

...but adds micromanagement we didn't need (now the game needs a "please ask me every x turns - consistent with anger levels - if I want to enter Slavery to use the whip" option)

Hi Ori, Ladies, Gentlemen, and mentally challenged people like me.

I'm almost finishing the making of a spreadsheet "Booga's Event Organizer" (in Open office, but I'm sure it can convert to Excel) for easier understanding and analizing the random events.
I'll attach a good first version here in a day or 2.

I always (2-3 months now) played without random events, and I have mainly 2 questions to any1 who may know (wake up Ori!) :

1. Is the "tech cost for a research" always in the form of research or is it given in gold sometimes? If so, which events are which?..

2. I'm having a few easy names to replace all the sciences mumbo-jumbo.. Please correct the following (which are prerequisite/obsoete science conditions, and obviously some ages don't really exist)

Early Age = Bronze Working / The Wheel / Mysticism / Hunting
Iron Age = Writing / Monotheism / Iron Working / Horseback Riding
Classical2 Age = Metal Casting / Iron Working / Monarchy / Alphabet / Mathematics / Code of Laws / Aesthetics / Theology
Classical Age = Writing / Monotheism / Iron Working / Priesthood
Mid Age = Theology / Machinery / Music / Feudalism / Philosophy / Civil Service
Rene Age = Nationalism / Printing Press / Education / Gunpowder / Astronomy
Ind3 Age = Scientific Method / Steam Power / Artillery
Ind2 Age = Steel / Scientific Method / Rifling
Ind Age = Steel / Scientific Method / Steam Power / Artillery
Modern Age = Radio / Refrigeration / Satellites / Plastics / Advanced Flight / Ecology
Future Age = F.T.1 ?? Genetics////?

Please help Booga give you a good cheese instead of a rotten 1 ;)

P.S. I'm basing my information only on the first few posts here, so if there is some additional change to 3.17, please say... I would take the 3.13 and 3.17 files and compare them... had I had them both ;)

Dresden

Dec 02, 2008, 11:59 PM

1. Is the "tech cost for a research" always in the form of research or is it given in gold sometimes? If so, which events are which?..
"iTechPercent" refers to a percentage of :science: cost and is always a :science: "reward". "iTechCostPercent" refers to :gold: based on a percentage of :science: cost (1:1 conversion) and is something you can choose to pay to get a chance at better rewards. These two elements can be seen in the City Ruins 2 Event although I believe the percentages are always based on the full tech cost and not the remaining tech cost. (For example I triggered the event multiple times on a 1716 :science: tech and the event rewards were always 257 :science: and the payment option was always 85 :gold: regardless of my current progress)

Ori's explanation:
2.you get 15% of remaining tech cost for a tech AND pay gold (5% of tech cost) for a chance for 3
XML:
<iTechPercent>15</iTechPercent>
<iTechCostPercent>5</iTechCostPercent>

Changes from 3.13 to 3.17 (Obtained using WinMerge + my interpretation.. correct me!) :

1. MotherLoad : iGold = 100 , iRandomGold = 100
** Meaning you get 100-200 gold instead of 20-40.

2. Impeachment : iHurryAnger = 0
** Meaning no more 6 angry in capital..?

3. Blessed Sea : bShowPlot = 0 and in a UnitsRequired section, iNumUnits = 0, python code added :
player = gc.getPlayer(kTriggeredData.ePlayer)
if player.getUnitClassCount(CvUtil.findInfoTypeNum(gc .getUnitClassInfo, gc.getNumUnitClassInfos(), 'UNITCLASS_GALLEY')) == 0:
if player.getUnitClassCount(CvUtil.findInfoTypeNum(gc .getUnitClassInfo, gc.getNumUnitClassInfos(), 'UNITCLASS_CARAVEL')) == 0:
if player.getUnitClassCount(CvUtil.findInfoTypeNum(gc .getUnitClassInfo, gc.getNumUnitClassInfos(), 'UNITCLASS_GALLEON')) == 0:
return false

** I don't know what bShowPlot (that was 1 and now 0) means.. except that it is a boolean that is supposed to flag something to be shown ;)
iNumUnits = 0 is tough.. I'd say that Galley/Caravel/Galleon are no longer needed to trigger quest, but then I got to python addition, it looks like a reverse fix from the xml... now you MUST have a ship to trigger it even if it is the other way in xml... right? .. :(

4. Miracle : ObsoleteTech = TECH_RIFLING
** Miracle now becomes obsolete with Rifling (people who are shot stop believing in miracles ;) )

5. Partisans : iPercentGamesActive = 100, iWeight = -2 (it was 35 and 0)
** I guess this is a bug fix. My assumption is that this event remains inactive, but helps solve some random events bugs in civ4 ;)

6. Friendly Locals : ObsoleteTech = TECH_NATIONALISM
** Friendly Locals now becomes obsolete with Nationalism.

7. The Huns / Vandals / Philistines / Vedic Aryans / Goths :
python code added in CanTriggerTheXXXXXXX method:
# Can we build the counter unit?
iCounterUnitClass = CvUtil.findInfoTypeNum(gc.getUnitClassInfo, gc.getNumUnitClassInfos(), 'UNITCLASS_SPEARMAN')
iCounterUnit = gc.getCivilizationInfo(player.getCivilizationType( )).getCivilizationUnits(iCounterUnitClass)
if iCounterUnit == -1:
return false

As promised, here is version 1.00 of Booga's Event Organizer! In xls format! True for 3.17!

The Document currently contains 2 parts :

Part 1 : Original Events : 151 active events and 18 quests in the original order, but seperating quests from events, and pushing unactive events away.

Part 2 : Events by type (and ordered by my GOOD/BAD parameter!!):
section 1 : 5 nation-specific events (unordered)
section 2 : 10 optional events (can choose "nothing")
section 3 : 35 negative events
section 4 : 19 money events
section 5 : 19 tile-improving events
section 6 : 16 promotion events
section 7 : 47 immediate positive events

Part 3 will come in the next few days, but I can't hold this golden egg in my pocket... :mischief:

I just added that Faux Pas event needs a neighbor, although Ori doesn't say it..
Also, it looks to me like famine can't happen without a city AND a neighbor, otherwise.. which city will you take the food from, and which attitude can you change..?

And still waiting for that ages info :mischief:

Event162
Spy Discovered
Prereq: INDUSTRIALISM and contact with another player AND at least 4 cities AND Capital
Obsolete: ROBOTICS
Active/Weight: 60/100
Result:
1.gain 400 Espionage points AND mutual +2 Attitude modifier with other player
2.pay gold (300 base) AND gain 1 Great Spy unit
3.declare war on other player AND gain free unit support for 20 units AND +1 happy face for 30 turns AND 1 Tank unit for every 4 cities
A clarification on this event; option 3 does not have the event receiver declare war on the other player but instead forces the other player to declare war on the event receiver. That can be an important distinction because of diplomatic implications.

A brief note on the Partisans event: this is now triggered when you have a city razed and you are running the Universal Suffrage civic, instead of just randomly after Nationalism. At least, that was the intended fix. I've never razed a city from a Universal Suffrage civ (at least, not since the last patch), so I haven't really tested it.

I don't know whether this is a bug, or whether it is a feature, but Event98, Impact Crater, which creates a uranium source, and puts a mine and road on it (on a square with forest or jungle) does not remove the jungle (in the case I had, I don't know about forests). This I ended up with a mine on a jungle square, which is otherwise impossible as far as I know. See attached file for the result (And yes it is a strange game, I wanted to win a time victory in an OCC by creating massive global warming and being impervious to that having a SSE; it was very nice to get uranium to built nukes ;-)).

this works as designed - there are quite a few instances were weirdness can happen when improvements are created. Now I do not claim that it works as intended - but seeing that this was known since BtS was released and they did not bother to change it I guess it is :)

You can probably go and chop the jungle yourself.

Hell, I added a Greens event that causes your citizens to add a forest to a town tile. I figured it was a nice little production bonus, and it added an option in the modern era where you are otherwise bombarded by plane crashes.

My question is how likely it is for the revolt to continue:

Event12:
Slave Revolt
Prereq: Slavery Civic AND city with population 4 or more AND WRITING or MONOTHEISM or PRIESTHOOD or IRON_WORKING
Obsolete: None
Active/Weight: 80/500
Result:
1.+1 angry face (like whipped) AND -2 population AND 1 turn revolt AND chance of looping to 3
2.you pay 10 gold AND -1 population AND 1 turn revolt AND chance of looping to 3
3.1 turn revolt [? chance to continue] bold letters added by me, words in italics are incorrect.

built walls in all my cities once and got some event that gaves something that i can't remember.

it was an unasked for event.

Pretty easy to look stuff up with Ctrl F if you download the text file - easier than wading through the spoilers. Doing that for "walls" these are the possibilities:

Event105
Security Tax
Prereq: METAL_CASTING or IRON_WORKING or MONARCHY or ALPHABET or MATHEMATICS or CODE_OF_LAWS or AESTHETICS or THEOLOGY AND city with walls
Obsolete: NATIONALISM or PRINTING_PRESS or EDUCATION or GUNPOWDER or ASTRONOMY
Active/Weight: 70/500
Result:
1.you gain 20 to 80 gold (never seen that one)

Event127
Miracle
Prereq: City with walls AND state religion
Obsolete: None
Active/Weight: 90/200
Result:
1.+1 commerce for city's walls
2.you pay 30 gold AND spread your state religion to 2 own cities

I see this one all the time.

for slave revolt:
each of 1 and 2 have a turn of revolt and a 100% chance of triggering 3 (a turn of revolt). 3 has a 40% chance of triggering itself.

Fixed it.

Antilogic

Apr 10, 2009, 08:02 AM

So, it's just a 40% chance the revolt will continue? The penalty is maybe two turns of anarchy instead of losing population?

This gives me something to think about.

ori

Apr 10, 2009, 08:20 AM

Tephros

Apr 13, 2009, 03:46 AM

actually you always have at least 2 turns of revolt (+40% each turn to continue after that) - you can only choose to either loose 2 pop points and have one hurry anger (:mad: for 10 turns on normal) or pay 10 gold and only loose one pop point and no hurry anger - the duration of the revolt itself seems not to be dependent on your choice...

I'll screenshot it next time I see it, but the first two options guarantee exactly one turn of revolt. They do not loop to 3 because there is no chance for it to continue beyond that turn if you choose those options. The third option has at least 1 turn of revolt, but it does not always continue for a second turn. I've seen the local authorities bumble the crackdown five times in a row, but I've seen them get it right after the initial turn of revolt, which can't be evaded anyway.

whip anger is the :mad: produced by whipping your population (hurrying production with population in slavery) - the same tag is used for all temporary :mad: - and it behaves the same way (i.e. decays after 10 turns unless you whip again/get an event that creates this).

Hello, I was just wondering how the promotion events worked. If you get lucky and get a "All Melee Units get Promotion X" does it give all of your current melee units promotion x, give all future melee units trained by you promotion x, or does it effect every player?

It includes only all of your existing melee units and all of your future melee units - none of your rival's.

Also, if the event becomes obsolete and can no longer trigger, do future units you make still get promotion x?

Event rewards like this don't obsolete to my knowledge (the event/quest itself obsoletes if you don't complete it in time). Your existing melee units will never lose the free promotion. Just at some point you won't be able to build an melee units anymore, which you could kinda call obsoleting I guess.

These events are over powered, I'm playing a prince game (first time) and i got this event early, jesus does it help.

Not all of them are overpowered--the one that gives your pikemen the Shock promotion is decent if your pike has to be the last guy attacking the city and your opponent has weakened melee troops there, but otherwise it has limited utility.

I find the best one to be the Tower Shields, which gives your melee units the Cover promotion. Not only are they more likely to survive crossbows, always a thorn in my side, but also they can tear up the most common city defenders, the archer and longbow units, with ease.

Nov 04, 2009, 04:10 PM

The vital files you want to look at are the GlobalDefines XML and the EventTriggerInfos XML.

In GlobalDefines, you need to find some variable that says EVENT_PROBABILITY_ROLL_SIDES, and it is by default at 100. If you decrease this number, more random events will occur in your game. However, this doesn't affect which events occur--to figure that out, you need to look in each trigger info (one per event). There are two values you should look at: iPercentGamesActive and iWeight.

iPercentGamesActive will tell you how many games on average where this event will be active (as in, it can happen). At the beginning of a new game, each event gets an up or down vote based on this percentage. If this number is low, then it simply won't appear in most games, whereas 100 will ensure this event will always have the chance of happening in the game.

When the game decides that a random event occurs, it figures out the probability of each event occuring by looking at the iWeight values. It basically checks to see if the event can happen in the game (already decided above), and then checks to see if that event meets the triggering conditions (all the other stuff in the trigger info). If the event is in the game and it meets the triggering conditions, it goes into the pot of stuff that could happen this turn.

After it looks at each event, it picks a random number and decides which event occurs based on that number. Events with high weights are more likely to be picked, so an event with a weight of 200 has twice the chance of being selected as an event with a weight of 100, so long as both events are active in the game and all triggering conditions have been met.

from a quick glance at the current (BtS 3.19) files I don't think it requires any state religion (not sure if that was ever the case - if I find time I'll correct that).
the required and obsolete techs are the same.
the first option is available without hereditary rule and is the same and the second option requires HR and is the same.

I just thought I would add a thanks for this. It has been instrumental in my events editing(mostly rewording many old events) so as to prevent me from having to read the XML in order to understand crudely what every events does. I am sure I am not the only one who has benefited.

Many of the events editing guides tell you how the XML and even the python works, but none other list the events as they are. Saved a lot of time for me, it's a must for any events editor.
