Random Events

[Faustmouse]

61) Hamburger Joint (gives a little gold)

a) I will make the gold more dynamic, but most of all: it requires radio and it should require francises or so.


-------------------------------------

62) Tea (little gold and +1 Diplo with random civ)

a) Make it require tea...

b) Any tech that would be more fitting than Scientific Method? A trading tech?

---------------------------------------

63) Fashion (small amount of gold again...)

a) Change prereq from Factory to Textile Factory

---------------------------------------

64) THOROUGHBRED (small amount of gold again...)

a) add additional routes as prereq

---------------------------------------

65) Girls best friends (small amount of gold again...)

a) add additional routes and mines

b) change prereq to diamonds rather than gems...

----------------------------------------

66) Banana Split (small amount of gold again...)

a) add additional routes.

--------------------------------------

67) Harbourmaster (a quest) and harbormaster done

a) remove obsolete tech metallurugy

b) make it more likely the more ships you have

---------------------------------------

68) Classic literature (quest)

a) make it more likely the more scrollmakers you have

-----------------------------------

69) best defense (quest)

a) make it more likely the more high walls you have

b) In general, I'd like to increase the iGamesPercentActive value for all events to 75% or maybe 80%. They are now (mostly) at 25%. Since a game in C2C takes AGES, I think this will spice up the game (I really LOVE quests )

-----------------------------------

70) Miracle (Wall + gold or converting cities)

a) It requires either Walls or High Walls, but gives only + gold to Walls. Will add High walls here

----------------------------------

71) Secret Knowledge (15% to a reli tech or +4 Culture to Monestary)

a) GamesActive: 70% -> 90%

b) Set iMinTurnsLeft to 4 -> if there are 4 or less turns left for a tech, it can't be choosen for the 15%.

---------------------------------

72) High warlord (Free General)

a) GamesActive: 70% -> 90%

-----------------------------------

a) 80% -> 90%

---------------------------

78) Heresy (+ gold from airport)

a) 85% -> 95%

b) min turns left -> 4

What we need really really really need badly is a TON of events from Renaissance Era to Modern Era, more for Ren and Industrial definitely.

 

[Faustmouse]

Really? Why? I thought the very early PH era was the problem

 

[Sparth]

Mouse, these events need graphics?

 

[strategyonly]

Really? Why? I thought the very early PH era was the problem

Not even, you go in a sense fast through that era, but when you get to Ren and Indus Era they go waaaay slower and have actually hardly any events at all.

You can go thought the PH era if you want in about 1/2 hour or so, but when you get to the Ren Era it will take you about 2-4ish hours or so, then Indus Era about 3-6ish hours, so alot of difference there.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

The difference though is not in the number of turns, and events only happen on turns. PH needs more because currently you get the same ones over and over, this does not happen in later eras because many events can occur over long periods of time.

 

[Faustmouse]

Mouse, these events need graphics?

No I don't think so, since they were already in game. Whenever I looked (not always) there was a string to a .dds file, so they should be ok.

Not even, you go in a sense fast through that era, but when you get to Ren and Indus Era they go waaaay slower and have actually hardly any events at all.

Well, the overall amount of events in an era is not correlated to the likelyhood that one appears.

It works like this: Every turn, there is a "n in 100" chance that an event will trigger (it is not choosen WHICH event). The "n" is adjustable and increases per era.
After it is choosen IF an event will take place, it is choosen WHICH event will occur, which is determined by the iWeight of an event.

While it triggers in around every ~33 turns in PH, it triggers every ~12 rounds in Industrial Era. So the likelyhood is already higher!


TLDR: Number of available events per era do not increase the likelyhood that an event occurs.

62) Tea (little gold and +1 Diplo with random civ)

a) Make it require tea...

b) Any tech that would be more fitting than Scientific Method? A trading tech?

Clipper Merchants were vital to the tea trade and (for some reason) they are unlocked at Chemistry. Otherwise if you're going for a trade tech you can't go past Mercantilism.

65) Girls best friends (small amount of gold again...)

a) add additional routes and mines

b) change prereq to diamonds rather than gems...

I would say leave it at Gems - otherwise you'll get only 1 civ in an average game that can get it... (where's the fun in that??)

Can't be Gems as there is no map resource called Gems it is a manufactured resource.

Perhaps change it to diamonds then add new ones for biggest diamond/sapphire/ruby as well. If you are running Monarchy or despotism add option to make Crown Jewels

 

[Faustmouse]

Clipper Merchants were vital to the tea trade and (for some reason) they are unlocked at Chemistry. Otherwise if you're going for a trade tech you can't go past Mercantilism.

One prereq is that you are not allowed to run the civic Mercantilism. So basically it never obsoletes, but requires a Commercial Port, so it obsoletes when you only have Internatioaln Ports left. But I can add these as prereqs was well. So a Clipper Merchant is required... what about skipping the tech requirement and make it require at least 1 Clipper Merchant?

I would say leave it at Gems - otherwise you'll get only 1 civ in an average game that can get it... (where's the fun in that??)

The problem is: A PLOT is required to have the resource - and gems can't be on a plot Not sure if it would work if I remove the "bPickPlot" tag. Probably it will require only gems somewhere in then.
But also, this event can trigger at most once per game, (not per civ), so this would be a minor problem


@DH: Not a bad idea... There are A LOT of things we COULD do...

 

[Yudishtira]

But I can add these as prereqs was well. So a Clipper Merchant is required... what about skipping the tech requirement and make it require at least 1 Clipper Merchant?

IMO Clipper Merchants aren't a great prereq: does anyone build them? (Sure you might build one in the hope of getting the event, but most players won't know it's a prereq.) I recommend Mercantilism tech then - you are going to get the tech whether you run the civic or not...

For the gems, if you can't combine all the gem map resources into one event (sounds easier to me), then one event each will have to do.

 

[Faustmouse]

so it will be Mercantilism tech then.

I'm not sure if this works. I can't find if these prereqs are AND or OR... And I don't think we NEED an event for EVERY resource, because then we could also make one for every building (some like the Grocery or Forge already have multiple events), one for every unit etc...

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

TLDR: Number of available events per era do not increase the likelyhood that an event occurs.

However it does reduce the likelihood of the same event occurring over and over and over again.

 

[Faustmouse]

Yeah, that's basically why I want to make more PH era events. This should reduce extreme burned down or volcanoe events. I have a couple of ideas for those but I'd prefer to "fix" and adjust existing events first.

 

[Faustmouse]

I DO read your comments and I write them on my list. Don't think I ignore them


79) Partisans (Spawns random units when city is in danger)

91) Corporate Expansion (spread your coporation, then your headquater produces more gold)

a) 70% -> 90%

108) Toxcatl (either +2 or immobile unit for 3 turns)

------------------------------

109) Dissident Priest

a) 90% -> 95%

b) Same as above: Requires Egypt Civ -> Change to Culture Egypt.

c) I need to have a look at the text discribtion, since from the code I can't tell why there are 2 Choices. One is: 2 fox X turns, 2 turns of Revolution. The other is 1 for X turns. THere are no other differences like money to spend, prereqs... strange...

79) Partisans event was replaced by the Partisan mod which spawns partisans around the conquered city. There are plans to improve that mod with any settled GGs in the city joining the partisans as leaders, other settled specialists may be evacuated and some of the population fleeing as refugees (a special type of Immigrant)

Are you doing any work on the event files or the event python? I really should try and get the volcano stuff done, so need to update them.

So I will leave it of.

Are you doing any work on the event files or the event python? I really should try and get the volcano stuff done, so need to update them.

I plan to edit the events as I post my list here. I haven't touched them yet but I will do so after the release. And first I only edit XML files and probably a very tiny bit of python (that what I know I'm doing), but in the long term I want to learn some python und edit this as well.
I skipped the Volcano Event for now, but after I got more familiar with the coding I can have a look at this as well.

 

[Dancing Hoskuld]

I have described what needs to be done to volcano events in RightFutures t do thread.

 

[Faustmouse]

Well ok. I still leave it for now since it seems rather complex. But I will keep it in mind.

111) Rogue Station mad:, but can give your factory more )

a) 90% -> 100%

b) Requires Russian Civ, Will chance it to Russian Culture.

---------------------

112) Antimonarchist (Happyness to Palace or from Cathedrals)

a) 90% -> 100%

B) Gives a bonus to the BTS Cathedrals but not the new ones -> I'll add them.

c) Requires French Civ, will change it ti french culture.

-----------------------

113) Impreachment ( or Courthouse +2

a)90% -> 100%

b) Remove American Civ and add American Culture.

---------------------

114) Futbol War (Declare War, Damage Relations or pay other player)

a) 75% -> 90%

b) Can't find the Text but since it requires a Colosseeum and Mass Media, I think they could mean Football? So maybe a Stadion and Modern Sports would be more appropiated. It also obsoletes at Fusion for no reason, I'll change that to Virtual Reality.

-------------------------------

115) Battle Lasers (Drill for every Gunship / AH64

a) 35% -> 85%

b) Will remove the Fusion tech as prereq (too far away from Vertical Flight and Laser, the other two AND prereqs...)

c) Gunship and AH64 Gunship get Drill I. I think we have more Gunships?

d) I think they should cost 100 per Gunship you have, but then I need to add another event (no problem thou)

---------------------------

115) Napalm (Napalm Bombs Promotion to PLanes)

a) 45% -> 85%

b) Requires Aluminium. While this is true I think that Oil Products (main ingredient) and Plastic should be prereqs as well. What's the tag for Aluminium Ingots?

c) It also obsoletes at Stealth. I'd like to change that to... something that is more similar to napalm.

d) It gives this Promo to Fighter Bomber, Bomber and A10 Bomber. I think we have some more in C2C, right?

e) Originally, it can't trigger when you run pacifism... This sounds about right I think.

--------------------

116) Billions and Billions (Broadcast Tower +4 OR Theater +3 )

a) I think this is about a Filmstar since it requires Hollywood (I just can't find the darn event texts!) So maybe Movie Studio would be a better prereq and would also be better to receive the bonus.

b) The theater needs some changes as well...

-----------------

117) Reactive Armour (Drill for every Tank)

a) 60% -> 90%

b) Requiers Early, normal, light or heavy tank (do we have more?)

-----------------

118) Greek fire (All trireme get Blitz)

a) 35% -> 85%

------------------

119) Enterprise (+5% Spaceship production)

a) 35% -> 85%

b) probably instead of Satellites and Corporation, Spaceflight would be a more appropiated prereq.

-------------------

120) Fiat Money (get but increase inflation; or nothing)

a) 50% -> 90%

b) Maybe it should require the Civic Fiat money?

c) Actually, you need less then 100 and it requires Banks. Lol... I think we can easily change that to 5000 ? or more? No idea...

-----------------------

121) Crossing the Rubicon (lose an experienced unit (>10 XP, or pay a lot or change civics)

a) 90% -> 95%

b) Only requires Swordsman, will add Light and Heavy as well.

c) remove Civil Service as obsolete tech (now it's Nationalism)

d) has prereq Rome, Carthage or greece civ -> Will it change to their cultures.

e) Maybe 10 XP is far too low, how sound 25 to you?

-------------------------

122) Generals Putsch (lose a unit, pay and lose the unit to get 3 infantry or switch Civics)

a) Requires a Paratrooper

b) Only for France, will change it to the Culture

---------------------------

123) Cure of Cancer (+1 Diplo with all, Hostpital +1)

a) Should this be turned off since we have a Wonder? Or we can rename it in "Cure of HIV"

b) Requires Labs -> Maybe one of the clinical buildings we have now would be more fitting.

c) Requires Genetics, I think it should be Molecular Medicine.

d) can only Trigger with Oxford University (this is a WW now, right?) So probably one of the CLinical NWs as well...

e) I think the reward should be more like "-10% food required to grow" or such.
