descr_harvests

OK I added this and checked how it works.

It seems to give poor harvest at the following turn of the named date. So instead of gaining say 236 florins from average harvest you gain just ... 226. Increadibly little difference.

What did you add and how? Why?

This is most likely a faulty new thread for the Population famine and something thread.

Sounds interesting, Alhoon, is it from RTW?

Also can you give us a sample of the contents?

edit:

I wonder if it works with this 'famine_threat' I saw you mention in another thread, like perhaps the threat increases the penalty... a long shot I guess...

The descr_harvests is a BI file from the campaign folder. Example of contents with docstring:

;
; Bad harvest events live here.  Harvests are calculated at the end of each summer round.
; Each entry consists of a year number, a region and/or a faction.
; In the case of a region, when the year comes around the region will have a bad harvest.
; In the case of a faction, when the year comes around the faction will have an empire-wide bad harvest.
; In the case of both, the region will have a bad harvest if it's owned by the faction.
; If you want anything else, ask Guy

famine_threat is a line from the descr_strat that goes in the same area as watchtower and fort placement.

Does this work in med2 and kingdoms?

Hi Gigantus, I tried this in Kingdoms the other day and it doesn't work

[Gigantus]

Curious enough it works for me. At least the descr_bad_harvest in a particular region. There are no messages (didn't expect any), but after the first summer month (playing on 12 turns\year) the bad harvest happened.

Didn't try the other stuff.

[The Border Reiver]

I might try it again then, perhaps I expected it to fire on turn one

[Gigantus]

Harvests are calculated at the end of each summer round.

Missed that line?

[The Border Reiver]

Missed that line?

Ah...yes. Well I'm glad I saw this post then. I wonder is it possible to generate a message in the campaign script or events file. I might look into that.

[Gigantus]

That is so ancient, it doesn't generate an event message. And the script has nothing to check the event type. But, if you succeed, give me a tinkle.
