How to get more random events?

[swinesteigersir]

I wanted to raise the number of random events I get, but I can't find that opportunity anywhere in a XML file.

Hints, please.

Not a modder myself, but EVENT_PROBABILITY_ROLL_SIDES in
C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\GlobalDefines.xml
might be relevent.

If that doesn't help then you might get better info from the modders forum http://forums.civfanatics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=158

check out JKP1187's Events for more events. not sure how to increase frequency because that is python code

You know for sure it's in python, mourndraken? Because that seems to contradict Sir Janus' suggestion? Just curious because I'd like to try that myself.

the event triggers are all python.

What do the event triggers have to do with the frequency determination? Seems like the former is driven by the latter, but that doesn't make them the same thing, right? Anyway even if it's python that doesn't preclude having a variable set in the xml, correct?

Go ahead and try to mod events using only xml. When that fails, go check out some of the tutorials on this site.

Found it. It's in C:\Program Files\Firaxis Games\Sid Meier's Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML\GameInfo\CIV4EraInfos.xml

Very easy to change, actually.

Lovely. The next step would be to prevent the "bad events" bias towards the human player. I will test game this during the next days. Raised the probability from 1 - 6 to 5 to 25 per cent.
