    Lightbulb Re: Diplomacy, I wonder...

    I've changed my file to 0.75,0.75 and 0.20.

    But it still would eb nice to have Kobal's file to compare. EXCELLENT work all !

    Should I be changing the force_invasion parameter to false ?
    Does that improve the campaign ?


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Trigger 0093_Update_Normal_Difficulty
    WhenToTest FactionTurnStart

    Condition CampaignDifficulty = medium

    FactionStanding exclude_factions { } normalise 0.0 50


    So here 0.0 means that relations will improve at a factor of 0 i.e normal, what does the 50 mean ?
    In these triggers I can only see the use of 1, 0, -0.5, -1. What about 0.5 ? Should'nt medium difficulty be at 0.5 ? seems logical to me.

    Thanks very much for the help. Appreciate it greatly.

    Salute !

    The 0.0 means the normalise moves your standing with each faction toward 0.0, which is the dead center of the standing meter: not good nor bad. The 50 is a divisor. The game finds the difference between each faction's standing and 0, divides it by 50 (in this case) and modifies the standing by the result. This means the further you are from 0 standing, the more normalise moves you toward 0, and conversely that when you are already near 0, normalise does very little to your standing with that faction. It basically makes it easier to escape bad standing and harder to maintain good. Every time it will take you 1/50th of the way to the target value. So smaller values in the divisor position actually mean the effect on your standing w/ other factions will be far greater.
