add_money -3000?????

[marceror]

Occassionally I like to use the toggle_fow command to take a look at what factions in the far off parts of the world are up to. Just general curiosity usually; not anything I'm doing to gain tactical advantages.

Anyhow, sometimes I notice that if I hit the up arrow the "add_money -3000" will populate into the text field. As I understand it, only commands that have been run in this field since launching the game will ever populate. Being that I never use any money cheats (and most certainly don't subtract money) I can only conclude the Stainless Steel is doing this for some reason.

Anyone know why this would be happening? If there's a good justification behind it, than great. If it's a bug or something, than I'd like to know that, so I can start paying better attention to my florin count when I end turn.

Medieval II Total War\mods\Stainless_Steel_6\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign\campaign_script.txt:

monitor_conditions I_EventCounter great_tourney_accepted = 1
and I_CompareCounter had_tourney = 1

console_command add_money -3000

set_counter had_tourney 0
end_monitor

It's the only event that would deduct that amount of cash.

And here's your -12000:

monitor_conditions I_EventCounter pirates_declined = 1
and I_CompareCounter had_pirates = 1
and RandomPercent < 51

console_command add_money -12000

set_counter had_pirates 0
end_monitor

Delra, you nailed it. I did agree to host the tourney a few turns back! Danke.

It's part of the gameplay and not a bug. When you get the new interactive events such as the great council, trade fair, tourney and pirates, they deduct money using the console command. That's why they are showing up when you bring up the console. Those events are designed to limit the amount of money players get...it's the alternative to giving generals bad traits like vanilla did.
