add_settlement_turmoil

[GrnEyedDvl]

Just a basic information thread, I was doing some testing tonight with this command and ran across some limits.

This is from the docudemons:

add_settlement_turmoil
settlement_name, num_turns
Adds turmoil to the settlement, will decrease per turn.
add_settlement_turmoil London 5
ADD_SETTLEMENT_TURMOIL

It works just fine. It adds 5% for each turn you want the effect to last. So the 5 in the above example adds 25% to the Unrest in your settlement, the little flame icon. There is an 80% cap so you can use a max of 16 turns.

What it also doesnt tell you is that the 5% for the first turn is deducted immediately if you use this command in a TurnEnd monitor.

This monitor adds 50% turmoil, but when the turn rolls around to England again it is at 45%.

monitor_event FactionTurnEnd FactionIsLocal
add_settlement_turmoil London 10
terminate_monitor
end_monitor

If you put the command in something like SettlementSelected it shows 50%. If you remove the terminate_monitor line it will overwrite the previous command. Instead of stacking the two up and having 100%, or the 80% cap, it starts over at 50%.

As a note: the 80% cap can be changed from the descr_settlement_mechanics I think.

[Augustus Lucifer]

Not sure why you'd want to have more than 80% additional unrest in a settlement though... :hmmm: seems like one of those useless gameplay deterrents at that extreme, since if it is used to fire other scripts like the Brittania-esque faction emerge, there's probably better ways to do it.

Nice info GED, as always

Cheers,
Augustus

Well, for example to punish the player for disobedient behaviour

[GrnEyedDvl]

Exactly Alpaca, and I intend to punish a few people.

[krycek]

can you call the command more then once to double the effect?

good find +rep

Already answered.

[krycek]

good work i should ready the thread more carefully thanks

[Xagamon]

Is there a way to do this across the entire faction?

[Titus le Chmakus]

Yeah by giving traits to the characters. What do you want to cause turmoil in your cities ?

I did it with unrest, not turmoil.

[Xagamon]

I was thinking that maybe a dynamic event could cause an increase in unrest for the whole faction. If unrest would be easier I could simply do that.... if it's possible.

Yeah, I made it this way, but you can replace the name of the trait by anything you like (Alignment is a common word from my mod's world) :

The following is to reset the trait at every turn start, so that the game can test each turn wether to give the trait back or not (thanks to Withwnar). If the player has made things to avoid having the trait coming back, then it is useful. If you want it to be permanent, then do not use it.

The following are the conditions to get the trait. You can replace Chivalry by anything you like, depending on what are the reasons you want the unrest for ... The trait will be given to all the generals of the faction that do match with the conditions (Chivalry). This will only affect the governors of cities for unrest but can affect all the generals on the map for the troopmorale. In any case, it only applies to the "guilty" generals. So if you want it to be factionwide, just change the triggers.
