I've not managed to use it to override the AI yet, as it seems to move its units just after their moves are (re)initialized but before the corresponding event is fired...My pleasure! @Infixo suggested that I try them, and they worked well for me. If they work for initializing combat, please let me know!

There's no such thing. Welcome, mushroom.
P.S. If you have a question it's best to post a new question, not a reply.
P.P.S. Before anyone points out that I do the same thing, I know that. It's a bad habit I'm trying to break.

I am figuring out modding for myself, and made notes of most of the events, because I want to make a new autoplay mod where more detailed info will be available throughout the "set". I thought I could share it, I am not sure how many are already known, and I have not made any effort to make "proper" typenames, but I think it should be sufficiently understandable, and may save someone the effort to find out themselves.
Thanks for the welcome and the tip.
In the dark. Well fertilized.
A journey. Not a destination.
@Gleb Bazov How did you encounter those Events? In my game they do not exist (except CityPopulationChanged).
integer A & integer B are district owner and district ID
Hash is command - value from CityCommandTypes enumeration
integer C - additional Data, command specific
HashA - can be decoded via Types, it is ERA_xxx
HashB - it is hash from Civilization table
integerB - it is supposed to indicate Previous Attempts but I've never managed to get here something else than 0
Those are Game Events, like : GameEvents.CityBuilt
CityPopulationChanged exist as an event and game event, someone from Firaxis team may have required one for a DLC scenario (they seem to add those as GameEvents), and it was added by a programmer, not knowing it was already available in Events (or maybe it fires at a different time)

At least one of the contexts is on-the-map animation time, right?
Is there a list of contexts, what they're for, and timing issues that arise from them? I ask because a) I want to know and b) In my mod I run most of my code in InGame context and only switch to the default context that AddGameplayScripts uses to create a unit, and I wonder if there are any consequences of using InGame or whether I should switch to the default for most of the code and only use InGame sparingly.
I looked through GameEvents some time ago and they were all the same as Events. I assumed that they exist for some kind of backward compatbility. So, all standard game events are available via Events and all user-defined events via LuaEvents. Although GameEvents can be different than Events, what a surprise... Well, you can learn something new here everyday

I have to confess, I am really having a hard time figuring this all out. I got somewhat comfortable modding in Civ 5 lua, but this is a different animal.
In any case, I have "stolen" some code from YNAMP files that is supposed to print out the map plots of a civ6 map file to be used in a map script.
I did this in Civ 5 using similar code with "Events.SequenceGameInitComplete.Add(ExportMap)" as the hook.
In all the documentation I have seen, this event is not evident, so I used the following code:
However, my log did not print the info... I am not certain what I have done wrong. In the mod info file, I have added the file as a script component...
What am I doing wrong, please? If I can just figure out how event hooks and modinfo files interact to run lua, I can figure the code out from there.
Thanks.

Oops, I see I didn't call the function from the event... I have to run see if it works.
In any case, does "SequenceGameInitComplete" exist?
PS The player era change event does work... I would still rather use an event that just goes off once at the beginning of the game.

Probably one of those below.
Events.AppInitComplete
Events.GameViewStateDone
Events.LoadGameViewStateDone
Events.LoadScreenClose
Events.LoadScreenContentReady
Events.MainMenuStateDone
I usually use LoadScreenClose when not bothering with save files.
But, as I understand, you want to basically print some map info. Entire map data is available when your script is initialized, i.e. you can run your function in your mod's Initialize.

Events.LoadScreenClose worked perfectly for my needs. Now I have map data, I have to figure out how to make it into a script... which leads to a whole new set of questions being asked in another thread .
Thanks.
.Thanks.

Dear all, a question, specifically for Gedemon, whose excellent work I am trying to apply in my own modding. I have tried to use the Serialize.lua / SaveLoad method that Gedemon designed, most with success. However, I can only keep the saved data while the game application is running. In other words, saved tables will persist if I don't quit Civ 6. They load, save and reload properly. However, as soon as I quit the main application (to desktop) the saved table data is gone, without a trace. Is this just an impregnable limitaiton of the Civ 6 lua or am I doing something completely wrong? Is there a way to have the saved data persist after the game application is closed?
Kind thanks for any advice! I've been breaking my head over this for days.

HOORAY! I got it working! Much thanks, Gedemon! Bravo
It was my own error in the end and I tracked it down.
Cheers!
