Military leaders are born in combat. It happens occasionally and only when elite unit wins a battle. Victorious unit in that case becomes extra elite. The combat can be both attack or defence.

Here's how it works.

There are several conditions when it doesn't happen:
- if the unit is not elite
- if it is naval or air
- if it kills barbarian unit
- if it is already extra elite
- if it is inside an army
- if current battle created unit count > 0; Default battle created unit type is "Leader" (see Civ3QEdit, Scenario Rules, General Settings, Battle-Created Unit)

If all listed conditions are false, the game calculates military leader appearance odds.

Here is math formula: Ratio = 4 * (Small_Wonder_Count <= 0) + 12, where Small_Wonder_Count is count of Small Wonders with flag "Increases_Chance_Of_Leader_Appearance"
If the combat is defence, Ratio doubles: Ratio = Ratio * 2;

Expression (Small_Wonder_Count <= 0) returns 0 if Small_Wonder_Count > 0; 0 - otherwise.

Military leader appears if random(0, Ratio) == 0. That means the odds = 1 / Ratio.

Therefore, maximum chanse of leader appearance = 1 / 12.

That formula can be modified by using tools like Cheat Engine or ArtMoney.

Value 4 cannot be changes.
Value 12 has address: 0x005BF297. It's 4 byte integer.

This means that the effect of small wonders is cumulative, right? So having more than one wonder with the flag checked actually works?

I'm just trying to confirm something that I assumed already. :)

No. It's the same if you have 1 small wonder with that flag, or you have 10 of them.
The expression (Small_Wonder_Count <= 0) is logical. It's result can be 0 (when Small_Wonder_Count > 0) or 1 (when Small_Wonder_Count <= 0). Therefore, it's enough to have only 1 small wonder to activate the effect.

So if you have at least 1 small wonder that has a flag set for increase chance of leader appearance, then the odds that a leader will appear would be:
(4 * 0) + 12 which equals 12. And then I guess that means a 1/12 chance?

And if you don't have a small wonder with the flag:
(4 * 1) + 12 which equals 16... which means there would be a 1/16 chance
for a leader appearing?

The minimum chance seems to be 1/16 not 1/12.

I guess I'm confused.
 
There has to be more working to produce a Military Great Leader than just that code, as Militaristic cultures have a higher probability of producing a Military Great Leader as well.

script.txt file have 3 entries for tooltips being used when a leader appears.
- NEWLEADER
- NEWMILLEADER
- NEWSCILEADER

NEWLEADER doesn't even presents in C3C v1.22 exe-file.
NEWMILLEADER has only 2 references, and both of them are inside that function. So, it's the only place, where military leader can be created.

It seems, that there is no checking for militaristic flags of civilizations.

And there is only 1 place in the function where the game is taking chances to create a military leader.

Promotion of unit's combat experience doesn't depends on Civ having Militaristic flag as well.
 
Really? There is no input for Militaristic leaders on a units combat experience? I reluctantly believe you that the military great leaders arent produced with greater odds, but I feel like I consistently get units to veteran and elite status with fewer battles when im playing as a Militaristic leader.

(btw, i find all of your threads fascinating! thank you!)
 
That is interesting that the Militaristic civilizations have no greater probability of getting a Military Great Leader than non-militaristic ones. The game specifically states that Militaristic cultures have a slightly higher chance for a Military Great Leader.

I suppose, the developers claimed it but haven't implemented.
 
Thanks for the info! I knew about 1/16 and 1/12, but I didn't realize that defensive leader chances were lower.

Militaristic civs have better promotion chances thus in the larger sense have better chances of getting a leader because there should be more elites.
 
I too must thank you for your treads and efforts! However, I do remember exceptions (probably ptw DYP games) where a naval battle did result in a great leader and an "extra" elite did gain a second *. These events were rare and therefor memorable.:crazyeye:

I'm not sure Antal1987 is familiar with the older game versions. "ptw" is "Civilization III Play The World", the first expansion to Civ3, and the first to allow multiplayer features. It's a different executable with some very different features and corruption calculations, so patching at this level would be entirely different. "DYP" is "Double Your Pleasure", one of the more popular mods that was even included on the CD in some releases. It was not a binary patch but changed the game in many ways.

So PTW observations with DYP mod may or may not have anything to do with binary patching of C3C.
