whats the deal with events? where is the events file? a scenario is pretty ****e without events...right

unfortunatly no-one has found an events file. its a shame because we could create better historical scenarios that way e.g. if someone made and bynzatine rome scenario we can't get them to start off at war with or p***ed off with the turks

ah well

i like the idea of terrain change and barbarian clouds of sulphur and smoke...volcanoes im talkin bout, events could do a nice job there

Oh i get ya now, the problem with volcanoes they would be:
a timed
b repetive animations
c reduce possible mining areas

but i think there should be someway to include natural disasters seeing as these disasters cause so much suffering in the real world.

random events + storyline is something I've campaigned for for quite some time now, so you have my support

According to the most recent chat with Firaxis we shouldn't expect events anytime soon, if at all. :(

ok, we'll have to sit and wait...

Kal-El, did they say anything about fixed diplomacy?

btw, where was this chat?

The chat was on CFC a couple of months ago. I don't remember what they said about diplomacy.

IIRC, Firaxis said that setting diplomacy in the editor was on the wish list. When that may happen, if ever, I don't know. In my opinion, at the very least we need to be able to set diplomacy in order to make decent scenarios, though events would also be nice. :)

An Event/trigger system like the one used in AoE/Aok/swgb would be nice

the event trigger on pharaoh is quite good gives you all you want in setting up events

cool, like the idea of something like AoE events concept, that's a pretty impressive tool...ok, all ye gamedevelopers out there, u heard us.........

I'd like to see an events menu that allows a specific Civ to spawn in a specific location at a specific time.

For example, on an Earth map the Aztec Civ spawns at the location of Earth's Mexico City in c1200AD.

Or the American Civ spawns at the location of Earth's Philadelphia in 1776AD.

Additionally they should be able to spawn with a sizable army and their actual historical technology instead of or in addition to the usual Settler/Worker/(Scout) combo.
