Well, you'd think that it should add up to 100, and evidently whoever wrote the Paradox events that use ai_chance thought that it ought to add up to 100, but I did extensive testing last week (see thread BUG: ai_chance in the bug forum) and determined that it needs to add up to 9, with a 10% chance for each point of ai_chance and a 10% bonus for action_a. The way Solmyr has written them, with a=2, b=3, and c=4 will give a 30/30/40% split.Myros said:
Myros said:
I wrote a set of events, a master with low MTTH that triggered for vassals and triggered one of several others for their liege, depending on which action they chose, then played a kingdom with a large number of vassals for several months and then exited and searched the history.txt file for how many of each of the secondary events were triggered for me. I then repeated with a different set of ai_chance for the master event actions. Details are in the aforementioned BUG: ai_chance thread in the bug forum.
Myros said:Generous? It would be if it requires the user to give 100 hard earned gold to a worthy cause for just the chance of getting the trait.
Just? Maybe make the user choose to execute a vassal or even a son for an uncovered plot ... how "just" will the user be if they need to make a choice with real consequences rather than just "click a button ..woot I got a trait."
If your handing out traits at least make the user earn them
