Delayed because of a readjustment due to the changes made in the new beta.

 

[LucidAPs]

Any news?

 

[Enginseer]

--Introduced an experimental set of events known as hokath's Corporation Events:

• Adds 1 Wonder unlocked at Penicillin (with audio)
• Adds 1 Building unlocked at Corporations known as Malls.
• Introduces Corporate Events
• Unsure about how balanced they are. I have not given a strong look over them. Notify me of any spelling errors or any bugs you see in this set.

--Removed Advisor Events until further versions(rework in progress)

--Religious Wonders
Added minimum yield cost. They will now require you to hold in faith and their appropriate yield cost to take advantage of their benefits. Enhancing your holy religion from events is now more difficult! Also apparently there's this mod called Bare Necessities that introduces more follower buildings. They'll receive bonuses from these events as well. Also fixed a bug where Romans could randomly grab these bonuses for no apparent reason.

I will attempt to add support for civ authors who have made events but are not available to update. No promises.
--Note there's gonna be some unique religious buildings where they don't reduce unhappiness by a flat number.

[a1nosweat]

Venice event sprung a pioneer t89. working as intended? Seems really strong

 

[Enginseer]

I find that the AI will idle their Venetian Settler because it's not a strong priority for them to settle? (Idk considering they are venice)

If I made it a Pioneer, they seem to settle anywhere regardless of how bad the city start is.

Perhaps I should up the national population requirement from 15 to 25 however..

 

[a1nosweat]

Is not so OP. For some reason I thought it would settle with buildings from 100 turns later, not so.

 

[ProCatGamer]

Is there a way to increase the rate of events occurring

 

[Enginseer]

Is there a way to increase the rate of events occurring

Inside the CE folder, there is a developmental file...

UPDATE Defines
SET Value = 9
WHERE Name = 'EVENT_MIN_DURATION_BETWEEN';
UPDATE Defines
SET Value = 24
WHERE Name = 'CITY_EVENT_MIN_DURATION_BETWEEN';

Set the value lower for your preferences.

 

[ProCatGamer]

Is the value set in terms of minutes or turns? Like the min between duration is 9/24min or turns?

Turns.. not sure why it would ever be minutes.

 

[KittyKat3120]

How often does a civ event occur? As sometimes I will have the requirements but it won't appear

 

[a1nosugar]

There are a few events that don't scale, being asked if I want 10 culture in the year 1800 is a bit unnecessary...

 

[Enginseer]

you could either have 10 culture or a pillaged improvement

I'll take a look next update.

 

[HungryForFood]

Make them obsolete maybe? They are taking the event proc over other potentially more interesting events.

 

[Stalker0]

I was curious if you all think these are polished enough to bring into the mod as core?

I feel that if events are enabled, than having a solid suite of them is good. And of course people can turn off this mod by disabling the event system.

 

[CasusAmor]

Man, the events for Persia are so unimmersive.. XD

 

[Gordon Ramesses]

There are a number of options in the advanced settings menu that can be used to enable or disable specific parts of the events system. Options to toggle things like Good Events, Bad Events, Trade Events, Civ Specific Events and so on.

Correct me if I am wrong or this has been changed recently, but I remember Natural Wonder Events not belonging to any of those event subcategories.

This was rather irksome for me a while back when I had this mod and the 3rd and 4th Unique Components mod installed together in a modpack. I started a game as Mongolia and didn’t feel like having events enabled that specific game. However, some of the components added by the 3rd and 4th Unique Components mod require the events system to be enabled in order to work properly (I believe Carthage’s Tophet UB was one such example). At first I thought this was going to cause some issues, however I then remembered that I could simply leave the core events system enabled and disable all of the event subcategories (bad events, good events, etc.).

Disabling all of the individual types of events like that should effectively disable all events despite the core system being enabled. However, I noticed the Natural Wonder Events were still triggering. I realized this as I started my game as Mongolia near King Solomon's Mines and I planted my second city next to it. For the remainder of the game, I was getting events that would spawn barbarians or do things like increase the Production and Tourism yields of the national wonder, for example, when I didn’t want those kinds of things happening.

I don’t think it necessary to add a new ‘Natural Wonder Events’ subcategory of events in the advanced options menu. Rather, could Natural Wonder Events simply be included under something like the ‘Neutral Events’ category for customization purposes?

The Grand Souk for Arabia doesn't give additional lux at least if you build it after building East India Company
