Events

[TeutonicKnight]

How can I see what year scripted events will occur?

For example, Mongol Invasion, Gunpowder, Black Death - these are all events that will happen in every game. How can I see when they will occur in any specific game? Or if it is random, can I see a specific range?

I'm curious if it is something moddable. For one thing, I'd like the Black Death to stick around a lot longer. :)

This is what you want, taken form the Descr_events file.

Thats found in the:

Data/world/maps/campaign/imperial_campaign directory of your M2TW folder.

; historical events and when they occur
;
; Events are followed by a category, and a label
; labels are used as lookups into historic_events.txt for title and body strings,
; and also as image names for the event picture
;
; Currently supported categories are:
; counter  - just increase a counter
; historic - Just generates a message and increase a counter
; volcano  - triggers a volcano if there is one on the map at the position specified
; plague   - triggers a plague in settlements at the specified positions
; emergent_faction - triggers the emergence of the given faction.  This faction must be marked
;	as emergent in descr_strat.txt
;
; event descriptions are followed by a date (year as offset from starting date) or a date range
; and either a list of positions, or list of regions.  Each position/region specification must appear on
; a seperate line below the date

[TeutonicKnight]

That's exactly what I want. Thanks Carl!

[Carl]

p.s. the numbers are in years, not turns.

That's exactly what I want. Thanks Carl!

Your Welcome.

[TeutonicKnight]

Umm, how would I modify that to extend the length of the Plague? That info you pasted makes it look like it's predetermined in length.

[Carl]

It is, like all plagues it disappears when the plague is cured, the event simply forces a plague to happen in every settlement at once.

You can add an extra plague event like so however:

This Code would need to replace the existing plague code however.

[_Tristan_]

A little question on that topic ?

Do all factions get notice of all events ?

Do all events happen in any campaign or is there a probability ?

If I understand coorectly what Carl posted hereabove the "first rudder" event should happen in 1180 (1080 + 100 as described in the event list)

I have yet to see it in any of my campaigns and it goes for some others...

So my previous questions...

[Carl]

Theoreticlly everyone should get the notification, but for some reason it dosen't allways happen. You definetly get the Rudder event as Scotland though.

Not sure what's going on though TBH.

[_Tristan_]

Thx, I was just wondering...

[Carl]

p.s. yes they definitely all happen in every campaign.

[_Tristan_]

Strange.... as I'm sure I haven't seen some of those events ... but have seen some of the others...

[EDIT] Maybe it is just the notification of events that are missing...
