Those Annoying Tornado's

[Mcclaud]

Hi everyone.

Ok, so I am playing a campaign using Ozzy's North America mod. Anyway, even as a Brit, I know that F5 Tornado's do not happen as far north a Boston, MA.

I have had 3-4 tornado's in the past 3 minutes, so now I want to know how to get rid of them, or preferably, how to delay them much longer?

Thanks.

Modify their entry in eventinfos.xml and/or eventtriggerinfos.xml

Ok will do, I've so far had over 15 tornadoes now, not to mention floods, forest fires, etc. My poor country was almost destined to look like the surface of the moon.

Thanks.

But wait, how big is the map? How big is your empire? What era is it?

 

[Mcclaud]

It's Ozzy's North America map, which is very big. My empire covers around 75% of the map and it's the Modern Era.

 

[Jarlaxe Baenre]

No wonder you have all those events, then. The Modern and Future eras get way more event chances than earlier eras. And huge maps have more events happening anywhere.

Well, I set most of the numbers for the tornado events to 0, then saved the XML files in my Beyond the Sword\Custom Assets\xml folder.

Trouble is, the tornado's still keep happening. Have I done something wrong?

I don't think latitude is the main factor in tornado formation. According to the Tornado Project, Massachusetts has had 2 F4 tornadoes since 1950. Plenty big enough to destroy a cottage

The other thing you could do here is just turn off random events altogether -- it's an option when you make the game. This would also mean losing out on the beneficial events, though.

I only want tornado's off since it's the only thing that's causing mass damage.

How exactly do I end them? I tried the XML, but I may have done something wrong because they still hit my nation.

Even Toronto has tornados.

Even tornadoes have tornadoes.
