WiF and battle events (encirclement, breakthrough, ambush etc)

[unmerged(86927)]

With the new combat adjustment (battles taking much longer), has any attention been payed to combat events? It seems to me that these events are totally worthless now, because they don't last very long and they don't seem to have any effect on turning the balance of the battle.

Can these events be modded? When the combat modifiers were altered, were these events modded too? It would be sad to lose the flavor of these events and making full use of HQ units, encryption/decryption techs and trickster trait.

You still have the same number of events/hour of battle, so I think everything is balanced well.

Yes I did pay attention to this by increasing the probability of these events to occur (via the doctrines). Take a look at them and feel free to play with them and suggest reasonable changes.

Can the duration and the effects of these events be modded?

I am not able to find the definitions of these combat events in any text file.

 

[Fernando Torres]

Unfortunately not. You can only modify their chance to occur.

 

[unmerged(86927)]

That's too bad. They are almost useless now.

 

[unmerged(83496)]

Not so. With the increased duration of battles, I find that a lot more combat events happen. Makes the battle more dynamic. Also, I find that I have far more instances of 'General XXXX has become an Encircler' than in vanilla.

Yes, but I'd like to see an event turning the initial course of a confrontation. As it is now, they only prolong or shorten the predictable outcome of the battle.
