Bug in mongol_invasion_events.txt

unmerged(75409) · Jan 2, 2009

Happy new year all!

There just was a discussion in the main forum about the Mongol events, and it seems that a bug known all the way since the beta tests managed to slip through undetected: The events 5590-5593, which are intended to weaken the Hordes by taking away regiments and eventually triggering all-out civil war, have modifiers which instead of making them more likely after 1300 make them a lot less likely.

So this means that with the way they are right now, if you are unlucky enough to have Mongol hordes make it to 1300 without breakup (either because of odd rolls of the dice or because they spawned only shortly before 1300) then you can get royally screwed because the events designed to weaken them may not trigger any more. So by 1400 they are going to gobble up the whole map and that can ruin a game. (As it almost did for the guy who reported the bug).

This can be fixed by changing the MTTH modifiers from 10 to 0.1 in the respective lines. I don't have the file on this PC so I can't give exact line numbers but they are easy to find, the event numbers are 5590, 5591, 5592 and 5593 and there are two modifiers per event, one checking for year 1300 and one checking for year 1340. The events are in the file mongol_invasion_events.txt.

If there is another beta patch or a consolidated patch release, maybe you might want to include a fix for this bug, too?

Regards,
Lev
