Event Ideas for AND

This thread is for posting "events" you think should be added to "A New Dawn".

Here are some of my ideas ...

Cock Fights
Requires: Chicken Coop

Cock fighting is causing animal activists to become furious.

• The animal activists are right, we need to stop this! (+1 in the city, -5% , -100-200 gold)
• Its a cultural tradition. Let them continue. (+1 , +5% in city)
• Lets promote cock fighting and make some money off it! (+1 , +5% +5% in city) [Req Legalized Gambling]

If you'd post a 256x256 image with each event, that would help.

i think there's a lot of potential in adding different events into the game that could really spice different mod components up. it's a very good idea to open such a thread - if one could find some python master to implement them...

ok, here my idea to make revolutions mod more attractive:

Guerrilla/Terrorist attack in occupied territory
(only in cities with high revolutions index, chance increases with high rev index and city size)

Guerrillas/Terrorist has struck our garrison forces with multiple attacks in an outrage about our occupation in the city of XYZ causing many casualties

• Condemn the criminal attacks and order a police investigation on the events (several garrison units lose hp, +1 in all cities for 20 turns)
• Impose a curfew and order a military investigation (several garrison units lose hp, +1 per 5 city size in the city for 40 turns, -30 , garrison is busy for 5 turns and can neither move nor heal, reduces rev-index like a bribe)
• Put down those evil terrorist with all necessary means! (city falls into revolt, +1 per 3 city size for 60 turns, -50 , garrison is busy for 8 turns and can neither move nor heal, reduces rev-index by half, city loses one population, chance of buildings being destroyed, increases national instability for all emancipation civics) (only possible if garrison is at least half size of the city (e.g 5 units for a 10 city))

Zappara has added these events for 2.9.

Added to my post.

Snake Oil Salesman
Req: Doctor's Office

A snake oil salesman has come to your city to try to sell his miracle tonics and elixirs.

• He swindles you into buying his wears. (+1 Unhappy, +1 Unhealthy in city, -50-100 gold)
• Lets profit off him by taxing his wears. (+1 Unhappy, +1 Unhealthy in city, +50-100 gold) [Req Mercantilism]
• He is nothing but a charlatan. Lets kick him out of town! (+1 Happy in City, -100-200 gold) [Req Modern Medicine]

Iditarod
Req: Dog Breeder, Tundra Tile in City Vicinity

The "Iditarod" dog sledding race wants to be held in your city this year.

• No thanks.
• Sure! Let them hold the race here. (+1 Happy, +1 Culture, -100 to 200 Gold)
• Sure! Lets make this a major event! (+2 Happy, +2 Culture, -200 to 400 Gold) [Req Mass Media]

more events are great, but can you make them happen more often? I saw this in Rise from Erebus mod, events happen very often

New events sounds fabulous - I wish I had at least one new event for each RoM building/wonder/unit but I doubt that's going to ever happen because events are, while easy to add, very time consuming to test (and you need to make up / write all text entries which is also slow process for non-native English person). Random events have lots of potential - hopefully some modmodder will learn to make them and then add whole bunch of them for RoM...

Some chain events would be good.

Chain Event: xEvent gives you option "a", "b", and "c".
Choose option "a" some effect
Choose option "b" next event in the chain becomes possible
Choose option "c" next event becomes possible

and repeat. This can cause interesting scenarios to pop up.
(For a better example, check the Gaelan event in FF or RiFE)

Or better bribe them...

Btw there should be an option to use force (I'm from Poland, such things were happening here some time ago), at least when you have "police state" or something like this (I don't remember what civics are currently in AND). It should make a unit immobile and cause temporary unhappiness.

Req. Fascist

They were called "strike-breakers" and they broke more then strikes if you get my drift, they were common, I think the first strike breakers appeared in the US or UK, but i wanted a more modern view of strikes but i can add a forth option to it if you like, something like:

• Declare the strike illegal and let the cops handle them. (+2 unhappiness for 10 turns, the garrison is busy for 3 turns) [Reg. Police Station]

This should probably have the "Parrot Aviary" building tied into this or something.

You're definately right. I've never noticed that one for some reason. I've probably never built one.
