Golden Age at 3275 BC

[agc28]

now..someone explain this to me. Zara triggered a golden age at turn 29, 3275 BC.

2 turns before, I stole his worker. and the next turn i pillaged his mine on the hill.

could that have triggered this bug??

i am using 3.13 and bhruic's patch.. if that means anything.

Event20:
Marathon
Prereq: You at war with other Player, other player makes first attack on your plot
Obsolete: None
Active/Weight: 100/800
Result:
1.Free Golden Age

[agc28]

can someone explain active/weight to me

[Mesousa]

I'll quote ori on this one:

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

There's a random event where a heroic runner runs to warn the leader of the impending invasion, granting a free golden age.

This event is amazing.

It happened to me once and it really helped me cause I was just coming to the end of a logn "building" time, where my cities were getting courthouses/barracks and wonders - and not building armies.

The Golden Age helped me withstand the attack, and I ended up taking a city from the AI who was foolish enough to challenge my might..

Very welcome surprise..
