Nephrinn's Events

from Stardock Forums
I hope everyone is enjoying the events I've made and would like to use this post for any comments/suggestions/problems anyone may have with any of the events. I've tested the events as colonization events to make sure they worked but as most of them are random events they may turn out unfair/unbalanced/buggy. And hopefully with your feedback I can tweak these events more properly and make them as unique and fun as possible. Thank you.

I enjoy your events a lot, and I hope you continue to make more!

I have noticed a couple of problems with them, hope you don't mind me sharing:
FILE: waliens.event
PROBLEM: From reading the event, you should be granted a Research Bonus, but it's not working.
REMEDY: Use the Attribute 9 rather than 8. Don't feel bad for making this mistake, all the stock GalCiv events have the same error. 8 is supposed to be Defense Bonus, but I'll be darned if I can get that to work. Either its bugged or its effects are hidden.

FILE: lifeform.event
PROBLEM: Set as a Colonial event (EventType = 0), but it uses the Random event attributes (107 + 108).
REMEDY: Up to you. Perhaps you meant to make it a Random event, in which case just set EventType = 1. If you do want it to be a Colonial event, change the attributes. Oddly enough, it will sort of work. In testing, I'd get a message saying its going to jump up my Research by 1%, but in practice my Research would zoom +117% percent Civ-wide! I think this points out that using Random attributes for Colonial events causes some fubar'd results.

Other than that, your events work great. And I want to thank you for showing me that Attribute 200, cold hard cash, works for Colonial events too. I have to go change my Writer now.

Keep up the great work!

HawaiiFive-0 - Thank you for the kind comments.

About the Hostile Aliens event. This was way back when the game first came out and I didn't know anything about these event files and this was more of an experiment. I took your advice and fixed the file, should be updated now.

About the Lifeform event, yes I forgot to change this event to a random event and it has been updated.

Hoping to see your event writer soon, that's certainly going to help me as well as the rest of the modding community immensely. Thanks for your work!

dgswensen - Thank you for the comment.

More events to come..
