Civilization Swap Event

[Charybdis]

I really like the opportunity this gives you, is there a way to make the swap force a 'save' before the swap so you can pick up where your first race left off?

Hmm.. right after the swap you can save your game (AfterSave). Then go grab the last autosave before the switch and save it as a permanent save (BeforeSave). Then reload AfetrSave and play on.

Would it be possible to make it so that you can select an option on ''custom game'' allowing you to change to any other civ in the game - using the foreign advisor screen or something? Still keep the event, but allow an option to switch civs for roleplaying or w/e.

also, make the requirements for the event triggering a bit higher: twice now i've had it trigger within the first 100 turns!

Yeah the first time I had it I had a score of ~170, one city and about 3 warriors .

Well, when I had it I was in the lead by a lot (maybe not compared to the second best team, but way ahead of the civ I could switch to), but I had just gotten my elven troops in position and was about to declare war against the Dwarves when they asked me to be their leader. I decided I would rather rule their cities while keeping my own.

The event definitely needs a higher trigger condition. As I see it, the event is basically there to keep the game interesting once you've basically already won. However, it triggers so early that it's often just another annoying pop-up; I had it trigger something like 5 times in the first 200 turns in one game. The event probably shouldn't trigger until you reach a minimum score, something like 750 or 1000 perhaps.

At the very least, it shouldn't trigger in the first 100/200 turns.

I like the event but it triggered really early with me as well - I only had 2 cities at the time it occurred

The game I am playing it has triggered twice. Once on the year 13 after I had met sandalphon, I was up on points with him 23 to 13(I had popped exploration from a goodie hut). The second time was in the year 89 with Alexis who had a 2 point lead over me. never popped up again in the next 250 years that i continued the game.
