Request for Event FAQ

[HadesScorn]

I've trolled around here for a while and have yet to find one.

1. The FAQ should list possible events, likelihood of occurrence, and their choices/outcomes.
2. Multipart Events should be specified as such, with the various branches described in detail.
3. XML/Python odds for Multipart events continuing should be included.

Advantages: This will give the players a better chance to give feedback. Multipart events at the moment seem fairly broken. People are complaining about the additional events not triggering. If we had a clear guideline for what is supposed to happen, the average player will be better equipped to find out when events are not working as intended.

Very spoily, but it totally makes sense from a debug standpoint. One thing that would help is if there were followup messages that said the outcome of your choice, especially for ones that have a chance to happen. That way you'd know if it was supposed to happen and didn't. One example was the event where you find lost knowledge and you can pay money to try and double the research bonus gained. It seems clunky to have to actually check your beakers to see how it ended. A simple popup that said "sadly the additional efforts were in vain" or some such would be handy.

Yeah, I've had that issue with the event that offers a chance for permanent health increases in a city at a cost of unhappy population as well.

Also, for events like Adventure, it would be nice to see what the outcome was [ie, +2 EXP, gained [Artifact], etc.]
