Ideas needed: Common Events

[Skitters]

Would this also spawn a Settler for the new Illian player?

I was thinking not - they'd have to take one by force...

 

[deadliver]

I am sure this type of event has been mentioned before by how about some temporary commerce, hammer or food boosting events?

Farmer's Market:
A farmer's market has been setup this season on one of your farms
1.) Excellent, lets reap the benefits of our produce (+1 to tile for 10 turns)
2.) [EVIL] Why is this food not in our stores? (+10 to nearest city)

 

[Thonnas]

Hillside Flooding <requires Grassland hill w/o forest>
Excessive rains in the nearby hills is threatening to wash away one of the hillsides.
A.) We'll ahve to deal with the mudslides later, I can't deal with this now (The tile becomes a flat plain, any improvement is destroyed + chance to destroy nearby improvement).
B.) Equip some troops with shovels and send them to shore up the hillside and create better drainage (-Xg[15], garrisoned unit becomes inactive for Y[5] turns).
C.) Send an adept with Nature I to help plant some vegetation to prevent further erosion (Any improvements destroyed, a young forest appears). <requires nature mana>
D.) Splendid, send out the engineers. We can terrace the hillside for farming (-Zg[30], +1food in the tile). <requires Construction> [maybe masonry?]

Llama Momma
A hunter out in the countryside stumbled upon a strange beast in labor. It appeared that something was wrong and the beast was in great pain. As the hunter approached, the beast while its baby was still struggling to escape the womb. The hunter proceeded to cut the baby from its dead mother and also found another stuck inside. The hunter says the beasts are akin to sheep, though less meek, but almost a tasty. He has no desire to raise the babies himself and so has donated them to the city. What should we do?
A.) Tasty, you say? Give them to a local farmer and have him start domesticating these beasts (+1 food in farm).
B.) Less meek? Maybe they can help the shepherds keep the wolves at bay (+1 food +1 commerce from sheep). <requires sheep>
C.) They're adorable. Send them to the animal trainer at the carnival. (Carnival +1happy). <requires Carnival>

Mmmm, Pie
The people of XXX simply love their pie, but can't seem to decide on an official pie for their city. They've asked you to settle things.
A.) Apple pie is tasty AND healthy. (+1 health in city)
B.) Everyone loves a good berry pie. (+1 Happy in city)
C.) Meat pie keeps folks hearty. (+1 hammer in city)
D.) I prefer cake, plain, with white frosting. (city revolts for 5 turns)

You say you want a revolution? <requires city in revolt> 10% chance or so each turn
A few opportunistic souls in XXX have infiltrated the resistance and are offering their services. What should we do?
A.) Have them help us capture the organizers. We'll put them to work in the fields (-10g, -1 pop, receive worker).
B.) Reward whichever one brings us the head of the leader. Kill the others as traitors (-20g, -2 pop, receive assassin). <evil>
C.) Have them arrange negotiations with the resistance leadership. The sooner this is over, the better for everyone (-20g, resistance reduced up to 5 turns). <good>
D.) Send them away, we don't do business with scum like that.

Dwarven Immigrants
Reqs. City on a hilltop, with walls

Some dwarven immigrants wish to settle in our city. They say it reminds them of their homeland, and they feel comfortable here.

• Then welcome them in. Making our nation more diverse is always good (+1 pop, +100 culture(one time))
• Allow them to stay here, but tell them they must work for a living. (+1 pop, recieve 2 Dwarven workers)
• Welcome them, and make sure they feel right at home. (reqs. Forge, forge generates +3 )

Child Criminal

A 10 year old boy has been arrested for murdering his father in <cityname>. What should be done with him?

• The law is the law. And the punishment for murder is death. Child or not, we have to set an example. (-1 temporarily, -10 crime rate)
• A child so young cannot be responsible for his actions. Let him go (+20 crime rate)
• Not even a child can be allowed to escape the judgement of Divine Law. Have him hanged (reqs Order, -20 crime rate)

• 10 years old? They sure start young. Have him disappear quietly to be trained. (reqs Council of Esus, recieve 1 assasin with 10 starting xp)

 

[Lgaard]

A Traveller

An experienced traveller has just arrived to <city name>. He claims he had just visited the lands of <name of the other, not yet contacted, civilization>.
a) Pay him to tell us a story of the lands he had visited. Then let him continuue his travel (- small amount of gold; + maps of the abovementioned civ; random civ achieves our maps)
b) Hire him as a scout and ask to tell his stories (- more gold; + maps of the abovementioned civ; + scout)
c) Hire him us our ambassador in the <a/m civ name>. (- X gold; + contact with a/m civ)
d) I have no time nor money for that (no result)

A Traveller 2

An experienced traveller has just arrived to <city name>. For a little fee he can tell one story. What would you like to hear about:
a) Ancient Patria (- X gold; reveals location of Ruins of Patria [if RoP exist on the map] )
b) Miracleous Yggdrasil (- X gold; reveals location of Yggdrasil [if Yggdrasil exists on the map] )

d) Mightest creature he has seen (- X gold; reveals location of the strongest creature on the map)
e) Biggest city he has seen (-X gold; reveals location of the biggest city in terms of population/culture etc.)
f) I have no time nor money for that (no result)

 

[Diamondeye]

Fields of the dead (tile without ressource, in bfc)
Reports of walking corpses in the area around <city name> are becoming frequent. Our sages think that the ground holds powerful ley lines.
-Quit wasting my time. What do you want me to do about it? (+1 in <city name> for some turns)
-That sounds horrid! Send a mage skilled in Life magic to calm the magic eruptions and sanctify the dead. (Nothing happens, requires Life mana)
-Walking dead and powerful ley lines? We could profit from this. Send a necromancer to draw out the power of the area (requires Necromancy, creates Death Mana in the spot, has a chance to spawn barbarian skeletons)

Storms! (tile with farm improvement, within bfc)
Huge amounts of rain has fallen in the fields near <city name>, but heavy clouds are blocking the sun; the crops on the field looks like they might drown.
-pay to have the water led from the fields (lose gold)
-there is nothing we can do about it (the farm is destroyed, +1 in the city)
-send an adept in Sun magic to let the sun shine on the fields again (requires Sun mana, +8 food in the city)

 

[Corlis]

Ooh, I like the idea of getting the location of certain major landmarks. I think there are already events that tell you if certain features exist, but it would be nice to be able to pay to have them revealed.

Something else:

Saboteur (Requires you to have a unit near a city with which you are at war)
A citizen of X has contacted us. He say that he can disrupt the city by setting fires so that we can take it more easily, but he demands riches and amnesty in return.
-We cannot afford this (no effect)
-Pay him what he wants (costs moderate gold; a building is destroyed in X and it takes 30% bombard damage)

 

[WarKirby]

A Traveller 2

An experienced traveller has just arrived to <city name>. For a little fee he can tell one story. What would you like to hear about:
a) Ancient Patria (- X gold; reveals location of Ruins of Patria [if RoP exist on the map] )
b) Miracleous Yggdrasil (- X gold; reveals location of Yggdrasil [if Yggdrasil exists on the map] )
c) Precious Dragon Bones (- X gold; reveals location of DB [if DB exist on the map] )
d) Mightest creature he has seen (- X gold; reveals location of the strongest creature on the map)
e) Biggest city he has seen (-X gold; reveals location of the biggest city in terms of population/culture etc.)
f) I have no time nor money for that (no result)

I LOVE this idea.

Personally, I'd love to be told where the Ring of Carcer is.

 

[Nor'easter]

I figured this thread was due for a bump back to the first page.

Rock lobster (Requires a coastal tile)

"Some of our people were recently on a beach near [city name] and discovered a strange rock formation. They decided to explore it and made a startling discovery: it wasn't a rock, it was a rock lobster!" [Tile gets crab (50% chance), clam (25% chance), or fish (25% chance).]

Note: We don't have lobsters as a resource in the game, so I suggested something close.

 

[Nor'easter]

We still don't know if Kael's open to more events, but in my current game I got the Elder Council "two schools of thought" event three times, so I figured this thread needed a bump. Besides, thinking these things up is fun, even if they don't make it into the mod. And maybe some of the modmods are open to new events, even if the main mod isn't.

We do know from some of the references in the game that Kael's a Monty Python fan, so here's a couple of events inspired by a classic song from a classic Python movie.

Camelot 1

The Captain of the [guard/watch/militia] in [city name] is complaining about the rations being given to his men. "We eat ham and jam and Spam a lot," he reports. He believes that improved rations will improve his men's morale and fighting prowess. What should we do?

a) Do nothing, the rations are fine. (No effect.)

b) Improve the rations for the [guard/watch/militia] in [city name] per the captain's request. (Subtract X from treasury, existing units in [city name] receive +1 XP.)

Camelot 2

The Captain of the [guard/watch/militia] in [city name] is upset that his men are being made to babysit children in the city. He complains, "I have to push the pram a lot." He recommends that we find a solution so that his men can concentrate on their military duties. What should we do?

a) The [guard/watch/militia] need to be flexible and do whatever is required of them. Request denied. (Existing units in [city name] lose 1 XP.)

b) Hire nurses in [city name] to look after the city's young so that the men can focus on their training. (Subtract X from treasury, existing units in [city name] gain 1 XP.)



If you accept either or both, feel free to modify as you see fit.

 

[Darelius]

I have not read all of the above ideas, but i think, the first problem is to make the clear difference between the "rare" and "common" events.

Another Question is, what could an event do?

Before i add some event ideas, i will write my "thinkings" about that.

Possible Effects:
- Golden Age (should be very rare)
- / / / in City for some Rounds (common)
- Add / decrease / / / in a City once (common)
- Add / decrease / (very common)
- Add / decrease / / / / / / / / to a building or Field permanent (rare)
- Add a standard Unit (common)
- Add Experience to a Unit (common)
- Add Special ability to a Unit (Rare)
- Add a Special unit (Prophet etc) (very Rare)
- Add / loose a Building (rare)
- Add a Non-Race Unit (Wolves, orcs for elves) (rare)
- Add / decrease City population (rare)
- Add / remove Religion from a city (rarre)
- Change Inflation Rate (Rare)
- Add Experience to Race Hero (rare)
- Add Special Ability to race Hero (very rare)

Now some Ideas for "common" events:
- In illness weakens the city (+1 illness for 2 rounds and/or - (city size) food and/or -(city size) production
- The people in the city are happy an love the life (-1 for 2 rounds and/or +(city size) and/or +(city size) and/or + 2xcity size and/or +(city size)
- A soldier is very ambitionated / pathetic (?) and get / loose +2 EP
- The city is good / bad leaded, it gains / loose some /
- Your Scientists are talking nonsense / genius and will losse / add
- The local gaves concerts and are great / awful so you will gain / loose culture
. Your [Building] has special abilitys and you will gain [food / hammers]
- Insects / Rats stole [city size * number of food storage biuildings] food
- The River is nearly dry, so the people are hungry (- food)
- The River is too strong this time, so some people loose their houses and build ne ones but are ot happy (+1 Unrest for 2 Rounds)
- A Storm damage several buildings during night and much work is lost (- some hammers)
- (on high criminal Rate Thiefes are in the city and stole many during night
The People are upset, what will you do?
1. Send Guards to search the thieves to arrest them (unit cannot move for 2 rounfs) and give the stlen items back (+1 Luck for 5 rounds, -10 gold, criminality -5)
.2 Send the guards to arrest the thieves and get their stolen things to the state (+50 Gold, -1 unrest for 5 rounds, criminality -5
3. do nothing (+5 Unrest for 5 rounds, +5 criminal rate)
4. Give money to the people, who are victims or the thieves (-100 gold, +2 Lucky for 5 rounds)
5. search the thieves and hire them (+1 unit (whatever is nearest to thieves), +1 unrest for 5 rounds, -10 gold, -1 criminality
6. search every house until the thieves where find and burn all friends and there houses of the thieves and take their goods (-20 crime rate, +500 gold, +5 unrest for 20 rounds, -1 population, requires evil alignment)

General common ideas
- Depending of the position of a city (coast, djungle, forest, river) the production of the ressources cuold change every some rounds (add / remove some points), because natural ressources are not absolute cointrollable.
- Weather is not stable, it influences the income from some ressources every soem rounds...
- some resosurces could spread out (animals and plants), what is a rare but not unimpossible event---
- some ressources grow bigger or smaller and gain bonuses (or negative effects) for axample, a horse ressource is special, some add +1 food, some +1 production, some +1 trade etc. sometimes those "bonuses" change (common event)
These changes can let happen or sometimes improved /hindered.
The [Ressource] improves during working. what will you do?
1. nothing, at the ressource work like ever
2. push the improvment (+1 production, food or something else) (-100 gold)
On degeneration, nothing leads to loss of one point and money could stop the degeneration. Tha could happen very often, because one turn is one year and natural ressources can change. But not all, anials and plkants could be influenced, iron and other could change, but not so often and it should be more expensive.

So my ideas for it
(sorry for my bad english, im a german guy

[Jabie]

Bandits

Requires a road.

Bandits prey on travellers from <City>.

* Send out the troops to deal with them. One random unit in town wounded to 50%
* Abandon the road, they will soon lose heart when trade dries up. (Lose the Road)

 

[JonathanStrange]

Dwarven Immigrants
Reqs. City on a hilltop, with walls

Some dwarven immigrants wish to settle in our city. They say it reminds them of their homeland, and they feel comfortable here.

• Then welcome them in. Making our nation more diverse is always good (+1 pop, +100 culture(one time))
• Allow them to stay here, but tell them they must work for a living. (+1 pop, recieve 2 Dwarven workers)
• Welcome them, and make sure they feel right at home. (reqs. Forge, forge generates +3 )

So basically there's no downside to Dwarven migration? Somewhere in Keelyn, a dwarf is passing out drunk! Somewhere in Evermore, seven dwarves are living with a lovely young woman. And in a lonely dwarf fortress out in the Calabim hinterlands, a dwarf is quietly going mad.

 

[UNIT 666]

Here are a few of my ideas for common (and semi-common... and rare) events. Some go against what Kael detailed in the opening post, but oh well. Also, I haven't read many of the others, so sorry if I've ripped someone else's common event ideas off.

[William12123]

I think the events should try to resemble the FFH lore more, so:
