Re: Bring out y'r deaaaad !
descr_disasters.txt:
Code:
event plague
frequency 20
winter false
summer false
min_scale 2
max_scale 5
Now the 20 is probably to be divided by some number that is hidden somewhere and it certainly is higher than 100 as otherwise you'd have massive plague outbreaks every turn. I'm also guessing this is run at end of turn for each settlement a faction owns, simple reason that you see the symbol popup once you press end turn and it only occurs in settlements.
Re: Bring out y'r deaaaad !
Good find ! I figured descr_disasters was meaningless, but that's because I checked the /data one, not the /date/world/base/ one.
But there's gotta be more to it than that... not only is 20 not a percentage, but a min number of turns between events (check the comments at the beginning of the file), but health/sewers/poplevel isn't taken into account, and that goes against empirical evidence.
The file is interesting though. Anyone ever got locusts ? :)
Re: Bring out y'r deaaaad !
So you HAD to go and post a thread about it!!! I was honestly about to PM you my short findings so far, but I'll just go ahead and do it here... :rolleyes: :grin:
As Factionhair pointed out, that file seems to govern this. I edited mine and made it something nuts like 200, but I still get plague almost every turn in at least one settlement. Methinks one needs to start a new campaign to make these changes happen. Am about to do so, will report back with results.
:balloon2:

Disaster file is only loaded for new campaigns, yes.
And I have yet to find a pun for Whacker.

That's what I've read so far, yessir.

Replace a certain letter of my handle with the letter 'n'. Or get on the IRC channel, the regulars in there have a few good ones that probably shouldn't be mentioned in here. :grin:

@Whacner : I can't help it, I'm both morbidly curious and terminally anal :sweatdrop: . What I don't understand I just can't get out of my head :dizzy2:
