Curiouser and curiouser:
1) There are three "descr_disasters.txt" files in the game
2) They can be found in the following folders:
"Rome - Total War\Data"
"Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\base"
"Rome - Total War\Data\world\maps\campaign\sons_of_mars"
3) The format of these files is significantly different. The one in the "Data" folder looks like this:
The files in the other folders look like this:disaster Brighton
{
type storm
year 0
position 272 227
size 10
}
4) Maybe what we're seeing is the difference between scripted events and random ones, but it seems odd that the formats would look so different.event storm
frequency 4
winter true
summer false
warning false
region the sea
min_scale 2
max_scale 5
5) Oh, and to answer my own question: No, there's no difference between the sons_of_mars file and the one in the "base" folder.
