Increasing envoys from liberated CS?

[thecrazyscot]

I'm frustrated by the fact that you only receive 3 envoys from a CS after liberating them - I would rather it be something like 6 envoys, but I can't seem to find where that number is specified. Anyone have any idea? Or is it hardcoded?

 

[LeeS]

The game refers to them as "Tokens". The only place I can find that even remotely looks like it might have an effect is in Global Parameters

<GameInfo>
	<GlobalParameters>
		<Replace Name="INFLUENCE_TOKENS_MINIMUM_FOR_SUZERAIN" Value="3" />
	</GlobalParameters>
</GameInfo>

But if this is how the number you get for liberating is specified it would also throw everything else off related to the number needed as a min for suzerain status if you change it. Everything else seems to be for the number that civics grant and the number for various game modifiers.

Yeah, that's the closest thing I found too. I checked to see if I could make a new dynamic modifier as well but not all the necessary requirements are available. Frustrating.

Thanks for taking a look.

I had d/l this, but never tried it to see if it actually worked - More Envoys for Liberated City States 1.0

Thanks, I'll check that out...I'm interested to see what setting it changes.

It's doing it all by lua. Problem is it will give the extra Envoys to the "local player" rather than the player who actually liberated the city state. The "local player" in a Single Player game will always be the human player.

 

[thecrazyscot]

That's...problematic. I have zero knowledge of lua unfortunately. Is there a way to change that to the player who liberated the CS? Or the player who's current turn it is when the CS is liberated?

 

[LeeS]

Possible == yes
Easy == idk

It would require some logic "gymnastics" since the lua hook for CityLiberated doesn't appear to pass argument data for who liberated the city, only that the city was liberated, and who the city was given back to. But I'd have to try to create a test whether this is true or not and might take quite a while to get the proper conditions set-up to verify what actually does get sent as arguments to Events.CityLiberated.

I'll think about it some more but .......

 

[thecrazyscot]

Well, if you have the interest and find the time to look into it, that would be fantastic! If not, thanks for taking a look!

I think this is something you could submit a but report to 2k and it gets added in a future patch.

I don't have that 2k bug report link handy but you can google it i'm sure.

Not the best answer...

If you are referring to this post:

It is not a Firaxis bug, it is incorrect programming on the part of the mod-maker.

If anyone is interested if you (for instance) increase the required number of envoys required for suzerain status to anything (say 6) you will receive 6 envoys when liberating a city state. This also has the (obvious) side effect of meaning you need 6 envoys to gain suzerain status normally too (in this example).
