Event trigger timing / AI responses

[TheLand]

Looking at event files I can't see anything that looks like it affects the timing of an event once the trigger conditions are met. I was looking for a Mean Time to Happen or something like that, which is probably very old school.

So do events always happen immediately that the trigger conditions are met? Or is something more sophisticated happening in the background?

Also, what determines the AI's responses to events? There don't appear to be hardcoded AI acceptance chances - is the AI clever enough to try to weigh up the options it's presented with?

Events have a "duration = [x]" clause, where x is delay in days.

When it comes to event options I dont think there are values in percentage. You will find "default_option = yes" in one of the options (if more than one), which is the highlighted option in-game and maybe the one chosen by AI.

I found this in the code

        ai_chance = {
            base = 20
        }

That should weight AI choices right? Or will it always choose the default option?

Well, looks like it could be this way then. Good found.
