Design an Event Contest

[Kael]

Just like the design a unit contest this is a contest to see who can come up with the most interesting event. Events may be a single trigger with a single responce, a single trigger with multiple responces, or a series of events with responces to each (an event chain).

Please be sure to include the following:

1. The commonality of the event (common, uncommon, rare) however you would like to describe it.
2. Any requirements before the event can be triggered.
3. The text the player is presented with when the event triggers.
4. The text for each of the responces the player has.
5. The effect of the player selecting each option.
6. Any requirements before the player can select each option.

As with the design a unit contest you have until 6pm on November 30th to submit entries. After that the team and I will go through all the entries, pick out our favorites and put them up for a public vote for the best entry. Then we will get the winning entry into FfH!

 

[Sarisin]

Event Name: Outrage of Mars

1. Uncommon

2. You kill a Hero unit

3. "You have destroyed the World's Finest Warrior You Bad Boy." Alright that pretty much blows, but who cares what Mars says...it is what he does.

4.
a. All Evil Civilizations Declare War on you for 25 turns.
b. All Neutral Civilizations Declare War on you for 25 turns.
c. All Good Civilizations Declare War on you for 25 turns.

5. Effect is pretty obvious. All trade agreements ended, no open borders, no peace, etc. for 25 turns with the alignment's civs chosen.

Or, you could just make the event trigger based on the alignment of the Hero's civ. Kill Corlindale and the Good civs will declare war on you if the event triggers.

It would add some mystery to whether or not you should destroy a Hero to risk bringing a bunch of civs after you.

Have fun programming that one, but I know you guys are good.

 

[Psychic_Llamas]

Event name: Bridge Between Worlds

1. rare

2. not have access to reagents; have the tech strength of will, Priesthood, or Ethereal Call; and have built an inn in a city.

3.
A strange man is staying at an inn in (insert city name). He claims to have discovered a rift in the fabric of the world in the hinterlands of (insert city name). He also claims to have entered the rift to appear in a world covered in a forest of strange pulsating plants that seem to thrive with some magical power.

4.
---a. Nonsense, everyone knows that kind of thing is impossible.
---b. Really? thats most interesting, send a team of explorers to validate his claims.
---c. Thats amazing! I wonder whether this world could have anything of value on it...

5.
---a. You ignore the rift. and as a result several barbarian otherworldy monsters are spawned over a set time period (ie deamons, angels or elementals)
---b. your Group of exploreres explore the rift, and retern with several samples of the magical plants. Provides a new source of Reagents and a +33% chance of providing +x where x is random. has a 20% chance of spawning several barbarian otherworldy monsters over a set time period (ie deamons, angels or elementals)
---c. You send a group of mages into the rift to analyse the magical plants. they retern with several samples and begin a breeding program in (insert city name). You gain +3 sources of reagents, and any adept unit built in the city get +2 EXP. also a +33% chance of providing +x where x is random. has a 10% chance of spawning several barbarian otherworldy monsters over a set time period (ie deamons, angels or elementals)

6.
---a. always avaliable
---b. requires stationed unit to be immoble for 5 turns while exploring rift
---c. requires stationed unit to be immoble for 5 turns while exploring rift and pay 200 gold to finance expedition and research.


I think the rarity or reagents can be really crippling in the late game. if you happen to spawn on a continent with no reagents you can be severely hindered. this should be a unique event, with it having a chance of occuring only once in each game (kind of like the same chance of a unique feature appearing).
this event would be a huge blessing to the civ who gets it and it can turn the tide of the game. Perhaps have it so a new unique feature is spawned on that square which provides 3 reagents, or a minor wonder is spawned so conquoring civs could be able to take the rift.

The Magic of Money

Rare Event
(1 Time event)

Requires Currency
Increasingly Likely after Taxation and much more so after Mercantilism

"A brilliant young merchant is spreading a new teaching about money. That the "economy" itself is a living thing, and should be treated as such. He proposes widespread changes in how we do business, and has approached your lordship about public funding."

Response A: We have no money to spare, more's the pity. Thank him for his services, and see what else we can do for him that doesn't cost us anything.

Response B: Fascinating! Give him an office in the castle, and see about sending his teachings to our cities.

Response C: We could use this to our advantage. Contact our neighbors, and let them know about this. If it is one problem that unites all thinking men of Erebus, it's inflation.

[Airwreck]

Event Name: Barbarian Friend or Foe?

1. Rare

2. Must occur in the first x (100?) turns. Leader cannot have the Barb trait. Raging Barbs cannot be a starting condition. Perhaps have a trigger that the player must capture a barbarian city (in which case increase the probability of the event initially occurring to uncommon).

3. News of your civilization's early accomplishments have spread far and wide. The stories are frequently told in other cities and around campfires deep in the forests or frozen tundra. So frequent and convincing these tales have been, that even some within the barbarian horde has chosen it might be a better fate to have you as a friendly neutral rather than be your next opponent. A decision was agreed upon by enough of these dissimilar factions and now their envoys approach your capital under a white flag of truce.

4A. Send the diplomats back with gifts and an agreement to avoid crossing swords indefinitely.
4B. Send back the diplomats' heads one at a time knowing your kingdom will draw the barbarian ire.

5A. Leader gains the Barb trait.
5B. Raging Barb condition is immediately and permanently triggered.

 

[xienwolf]

This event should be common to be in the game (about 75% or all games), but Uncommon to actually trigger (maybe once in 80 turns). Also limited to twice per Civilization.

Trigger Requirements: Must have a minimum number of cities. Number is set as 2 less than Kuriotates' max city limit for the map size.

The Governor of [City Name] has put his full faith in this great empire. As such, he has designed a plan to allow his city to depend upon support from others and run as a specialized economy!

• What a foolish notion! Each city needs to fend for themselves. Nobody knows what the future may bring!
  
  Spoiler :

  No effect.
  No requirements.
• [City Name] has always been a center for Cultural Development! We can support our great heritage in this effort.
  
  Spoiler :

  City produces only (raw & are converted directly to culture before applying % bonuses from buildings, non- % bonuses become useless in city) for the rest of the game
  Requires Technology: Drama
• [City Name] has always been a center for Scientific Knowledge! We can support our future generations in this effort.
  
  Spoiler :

  City produces only (raw & are converted directly to culture before applying % bonuses from buildings, non- % bonuses become useless in city) for the rest of the game
  Requires Technology: Mathematics
• [City Name] has always been a center for Economic Growth! We cannot afford not to support our own coffers in this effort.
  
  Spoiler :

  City produces only (raw & are converted directly to culture before applying % bonuses from buildings, non- % bonuses become useless in city) for the rest of the game
  Requires Technology: Currency

 

[xanaqui42]

Frequency in game: Uncommon
Frequency during a game it's in: Uncommon
Requirement: Divination has been discovered (by any player)

Given to all players with one of the following state religions (presumably this could be expanded to all religions, but these are the ones I have enough detail to write up):

The Order
Runes of Kilmorph
Fellowship of Leaves
Octopus Overlords
The Ashen Veil
The Empyrean
The Council of Esus

Like a wildfire before a hot, dry wind, first rumors, then stories, then personal accounts of the Great Seeress's latest prophecy reaches your ears:

"On the first sun of the first claw of the first moon of the new year, there will be a great alignment of the heavens. The most powerful priests of the land will cause the warp the world towards their whim."

Your priests want to invoke a rite to take advantage of this moment in time. Do you:
1) Ignore this false prophet. (-3 to your religion's influence)
2) Requires at least 1 Priest of your religion. Allow your priests to proceed (+0 to your religion's influence; all units you own with a promotion matching your religion gain Fatigued).
3) Requires Divine Right Order a grand inquisition, to eliminate subversive elements that would undermine your priest's efforts (+2 to your religion's influence, +1 more per inquisitor; all units you own with a promotion matching your religion gain Fatigued; 30%(+10% per inquisitor) of all your units with a Religion promotion not matching your own religion are killed; 30%(+10% per inquisitor) of all your Temples not matching your own religion are destroyed).

Note that regardless of choice, any lingering effects from secondary events that terminate on the "initial event" end.

Each Religion's influence is totaled; add the highest of the following categories for each civilization to their religion's total:

0: default
1: Have a Temple of the Religion
2: Have a Priest of the Religion
3: Have a High Priest of the Religion
4: Have the Holy City of the Religion
5: Have the Patriarch of the religion

So, as an example, there are two players (A&B) with Runes of Kilmorph and one (C) with Octopus Overlords.
A Chooses option 1, and has a Priest of the Religion. Runes of Kilmorph (Option 1) -3 + (Priest) 2 = -1
B Chooses option 2, and has a Holy City of the Religion. Runes of Kilmorph current: (Total from A) -1 + (Option 2) 0 + (Holy City) 4 = +3
C Chooses option 3, and has a Priest of the Religion (but no Inquisitors). Octopus Overlords (Option 3) +2 (Priest) +2= 4

So the final result would be: Runes of Kilmorph: 3; Octopus Overlords: 4

Only the religion with the most influence is considered from hereon in.

1 year after the initial event, The second event will trigger. Said event depends on the religion with the most influence from the first event.

The Order:
Confessors have made the Alignment conform to the laws of Junil. The Fires of Junil himself rain down upon the scourges against his name. (Each unit with the Demon promotion takes 110 points of Fire damage, +1 per point of influence of The Order; this is dealt as is from a spell; the promotions of the caster are assumed in the above damage; note that without significant influence, virtually no uninjured Demon will actually die).

Runes of Kilmorph:
Stonewardens have divined from the Alignment how to dig deeper than they ever have before, well past the depths that are normally forbidden. (Until the first event occurs again, anyone with the Runes of Kilmorph State religion will gain 1 Earth Mana. For each 5 points of influence, they will gain 1 Earth Elemental in their capital; this Earth Elemental does not have the Summoned promotion.)

Fellowship of Leaves:
Jubilant Priests of Leaves have found that the Alignment has the power to trigger a great growth. (Until the first event occurs again, the chance of a Treant appearing due to invasion of Ancient Forest is doubled. Forestation of 1% of land/1 points of influence occurs - if the tile had no forest (and it's not a city, not a water tile, nor does it have a unique improvement), it now has New Forest; if it had New Forest, it is now a Forest. If it was a Forest, and it could normally upgrade to Ancient Forest, it does so.)

Octopus Overlords:
Cultists have performed a great rite, summoning unspeakable horrors from the depths. (Until the initial event occurs again, there is a 1% chance/point of influence of a Kraken appearing each turn in a random Ocean Tile. Half the time, this unit will be under the control of the Barbarians; the other half, it is under the control of a random Civilization with the Octopus Overlords religion.)

The Ashen Veil:
Ritualists have paid dearly in blood for Entropy to walk upon the earth. (For each 3 points of influence, a Balor appears in a random tile, controlled by the Barbarians. For each 10 points of influence, Hellfire appears in a random non-city tile.

The Empyrean:
The Overcouncil will listen more carefully to your wisdom.For every 10 points of influence, gain +1 votes in the Overcouncil until the next initial event. You gain 1 Radiant Guard for each 5 points of influence.

The Council of Esus:
Your influence functions better in The Undercouncil.Undercouncil costs for members of this religion are reduced by 2% per point of influence. You gain 1 The Nightwatch per 3 points of influence.

Pros:
Increases competition between religions.

Cons:
Effects may be difficult to balance.
Effects may be difficult to scale.
This is effectively 1 event + 1 per religion; it's a significant amount of code.

Implementation note: scaling in the secondary events could be done by Armageddon Counter (probably divided by 5) instead of Influence, if that's easier. In the same way, the influence calculations could be simplified or changed; if such a counter would be hard to maintain, one might (for example) look at the number of Priests and Inquisitors with the Fatigued Promotion, using that to mark which event (A, B, or C) occurred.

 

[Caradoc]

BRING EM BACK ALIVE
1. uncommon
2. requirement: Carnival, not all of (wolf/lion/tiger/gorilla cages)
3. trigger: An intrepid explorer has returned from a dangerous expedition with exotic animals to sell.
4. options: show only those where no cage already
A Dire Wolf (wolf cage for 50 gold)
A Mountain Lion (lion cage for 75 gold)
A White Tiger (tiger cage for 100 gold)
A Silverback Gorilla (gorilla cage for 150 gold)

 

[KillerClowns]

One of my suggested events from one of the old threads I posted in, with modifications. I'm not sure about the numbers, but I trust the design team on that.

1. Rare.
2. A minimum AC of 50.
3. We have discovered a dark artifact from the Age of Magic near (City name). It is unnaturally beautiful, but those who have spent time with it say it flows with terrible energies. However, we can shatter it and, if we're careful, use it to power our forges...
4.
a. Destroy it utterly, and see that none obtain its fragments. A thing of such foul corruption cannot be allowed to exist, no matter what temporary gain.
b. There is nothing so dangerous it cannot be used. Do what you can with it, but be careful.
c. Unnatural beauty? Dark energies? Truly, this is the work of a mage blessed by Agares himself! Are you seriously suggesting destroying such a wondrous thing?
5.
a. Large decrease to the AC
b. Forges gain an increase to production, but also give a small chance of units built in cities with forges starting with Prophecy Mark.
c. Gives you a free supply of Death, Entropy, and Shadow mana. Angers good and neutral civs beyond the ordinary "You use death/entropy/shadow mana."
6.
a. Doesn't worship Ashen Veil. (I was thinking about a good or neutral requirement, but a non-AV evil civ might destroy it to deal a blow to the competition.)
b. Neutral or Evil alignment
c. Ashen Veil state religion

 

[Capn Charlie]

One of the things that has always bugged me is how a civ can (less so in FFH) dominate the "religion trade" by racing to the different religions to possess their holy city. I'd like to see something to make that a little dangerous. Ok, a lot dangerous. Ok, a lot dangerous and very complicated.

1. common rarity, but may only happen once.

2. 2 or more Holy cities for different religions in the same empire. The event occurs in a city (randomly chosen) that contains a holy city for a religion that is NOT state religion of the empire.

3. My lord! The <Religious title of the unit able to become patron of that religion> of the <Religion> has openly rebelled against your rule and branded you a heretic! Followers of the religion all over the empire have flocked to his banner and he is leading an army in a coup attempt against us, he has attracted all of the faithful in our service in the empire, the situation is dire!

4.
----A. We must repent our heresy at once and attempt to keep the empire together, send this message to the <Religious Unit> at once along with a generous donation to the church!

----B. Send a message to the <Religious unit name> stating our willingness to cede control of <Holy city's name> to his church immediately, we must compromise to retain peace.

----C. Heresy?! Time to teach these fanatics a lesson, we will march against them immediately, we can tolerate no rebellion.

----D. Blasphemy! In the name of <State Religion> we shall wage holy war against these heretics at once and ordain an inquisitor to purge their heresy from our civilization forever.


5.
----A. You convert to the uprising religion as your state religion, all cities with your old state religion suffer 5 Unhappiness for 40 turns. You gain a Religion patron unit in the holy city if that religion's special building is already built, and that religion's special building is instead built there if it does not already exist.

----B. The city in question splits off from your civilization, forming a new civilization using your other civ leader that behaves in a similar fashion to a colony.

----C. All units possessing the rebelling religion are moved to the rebelling city which forms its own civilization using your second leader, and war begins immediately with them. Each city with the rebelling religion has a 35% chance to rebel, if it succeeds in rebellion it flips to the new civ.

----D. All units posessing the rebelling religion are moved to the rebelling city which forms its own civilization using your second leader, and war begins immediately with them. Each city with the rebelling religion has a 35% chance to rebel, 10% if your state religion is also present, if it succeeds in rebellion it flips to the new civ. If you conquer the holy city, its status as holy city is destroyed, as if the holy city were razzed, and you gain control of a new Inquisitor unit with experience points equal to the unit you used to capture the city.


6.
----A. State religion in less than 50% of cities. A specified amount of gold based on your civilization size. a "lot".

----B. Rebelling city is 100% under your influence/population (no other civ influences)

----C. No special requirements.

----D. A specified amount of gold based on your civilization size. a "lot".

 

[it-ogo]

1. Rare.
2. Have two or more cities with pop. 4 or more. At war with barbarians.
3. Barbarian emissary proposes peace in exchange of all your non-capital cities.
4. A. Agreed.
----B. Never!
5. A. Make a peace with barbarians. All your non-capital cities becomes barbarian.
----B. No effect.
6. No.
