Modding Question?

[Frank]

Hi Calvinus

if i want to create a custom ai .seq file how can i be sure that the program use it. Must i write a special event for this or are all .seq files in the ai folder automatically loaded at the start of a new game.

Frank

[calvinus]

Just be sure that the seq file is named exactly like the concerned nation tag... and the game automatically loads it.

Example: ROM.seq for the seq file of Western Roman Empire (whole tag is ROM).

If a seq file with that name is already present, you have to modify its content.
If, instead, you want a nation moves to a new seq file at a certain date, you have to create a new seq file (named as you wish) and then a historical event, containing the following consequence:

BeginHistoricalConsequence
Type=HC_ChangeNationAI
BeginStrings
String=AI_ChangeTweakings,XXX.seq
EndStrings
ParamEffectText=none
EndHistoricalConsequence

where XXX is the new seq file name...

To have a complete exemple, see the files "ALM.seq", "ALM2.seq" and "HE_AI_ALM.inc"...

Thanks Calvinus,

i have another short question. What does the value number in the PlebisManagement.csv file mean? Is this a percentage in or decrease or is it a fixed number?

[calvinus]

It was a modificator to the "plebis" value, a kind of national stability level.
It was used in beta version, then abandoned in gold version.

[Frank]

ok i understand. But how are the revolt risk of a province is calculated in the current version. Is the ethnic composition of a province the only factor or are there other matters that play a role?

[calvinus]

Not only ethnics, religios factors too... There's no place in the beta manual explaining the revolts risk factors?

[calvinus]

Well this is a really long list. Is the effect immediately or time-delayed? For example when i move several cavalry and heavy infantry units in a region i see no chance to the revolt risk in a province.

[calvinus]

To my memory the check is performed monthly.

[alexander seil]

Just wondering, is there a "lowest bound" on revolt risk? I think it's 2%, but I'm not sure.
