DaC Yes/No Events Ideas and Writers

[jakev2]

Yet another for Isengard XD This can probably be used whether they are good or bad.

The Palantir

My lord, our warriors have discovered one of the lost Seeing Stones of the Numenorians, the Palantir, not far from the Orthanc. Do you wish to use this potentially tide-turning weapon?

Yes - Your faction leader gains the ancillary "The Palantir", giving +3 fear, +2 command, -2 troop morale, +2 authority and +5 line of sight. 50% chance of gaining the trait "Corrupted by the Palantir", which gives the title "-the Corrupted", and also gives -25% movement points, +2 fear, -2 command, +2 obedience, and -4 authority.

No - Your relations with good factions improve, and your faction leader gains the trait "Resistant to Temptation", giving +1 command, +2 chivalry and +2 troop morale.

Here's one more for Mordor:
Call your allies
You have the opportunity to extort what you need from your subjugated evil men allies. (perhaps can be repeated every 10 years or so?)
Yes: A full stack of Rhun and one fullstack of Harad weak-medium units appear near mordor, under Mordor's control, and a cash tribute from them. Consequence: reduced standing with those factions (increased tensions: they are dissatisfied and perhaps a small chance for them to rebel)
No: increased standing with Evil men (perhaps small chance for them to give a small present anyway?)

Yes. COuld be repeated...nice one....bit like cards from a board game like 'War of the Ring' by Fantasy Flight.

Might have to choose Harad or Easterlings. Both is very powerful. Know much more about the coding...changes in edu are needed and model db, but for one or two nations like mordor, it really isn't a problem.

I'm redirecting ALL writers to this now instead of just a couple, so hopefully we'll have a few we can prebiew, as well as get back to you concerning the ones you've all written...we've said that a very high percentage will be used. Coding most of it is possible and they're great.

Keep em coming, and well done over the voices Ozz....we're doing the female ones now.

[Bela]

Hmmm.... it seems like this is not a Yes/No but rather a Yes/Perhaps/Maybe/No event now.... Show mercy, please!

Power event yes no script

Faction:Isengard

Our forces are strong enought to challenge middle earth....do we declare ourselves as the new power or do we stay allied to the forces of good/evil...

Yes-you declare war against mordor and all its allies and abandor all ties with good factions...all troops gain so much xp...or maybe gain some stacks of troops.
No-your gain outstanding ranking with all factions your allied with and you get trade bonus with em...

Faction:Elves(High or Silvan)

We have watched the darkness grow for too long...do we declare ourselves and march against Souron and his forces now....etc

Yes-gain so many troops and xp and declare war with Mordor and its allies
No-wait so many number of turns and ask again if still no than garrisoned troops gain xp and gain anc 'The passing of the elves' gives current faction leader -4 command and +trade and moral....or whatever

just a thought....

PM me of your thoughts...

Great...you're a mind reader!!! Orthanc has option of staying with the White COuncil already, but I suspect that this will spark many other dieas...fanks Tony!! As always, delighted to see you...

Great one...fits in with the elves and their reluctance nicely...needs balancing a lot, but funnily enough, we're doing the elves big time at the moment...YAY!

[Mads]

Thats a very good idea, I see a lot of potential in making that a part of the gameplay.

[Squeaks]

Thanks.....we thought so, and the response here is great

[Squeaks]

For your own consideration, here is a finished (but not yet put through an edit sweep) events pic and text, so you know what this will be like in many cases:



MANWE'S EAGLES MOVE AGAINST THE FOE!

My Lord, the Eagles come! They have sent one of their kind to ask if you wish to use Thorondir's Kin to scout for you in the Misty Mountains, or whether you wish their aid in dislodging the goblins from the mountain passes to continue. Manwe's children are limited in number, but their aid is valuable indeed. What shall we ask of them My Lord?

YES: The Eagles begin to scout the Mountains and reveal the foe in their numbers. A map area will become revealed in the Misty Mountains, detailing what your scouts could not. Your trade will suffer as the eagles cease their sweeps across the passes. For 3 turns your income from trade will drop.

**The area of the scouting will vary from event to event - each trigger. For some factions, this will be of an area in different surroundings, or they may not have access to eagles at all.**

NO: The Eagles Sweep clear the Mountain passes, resuming normal duties. The event may trigger again later.

This is a late stage draft.

Wanted you to see what we're looking at when we ask you to do this. Then you know it'll be worth it!!

[jakev2]

quick question, if isengard stays "good", what units does it get?

[Squeaks]

Well, I'm going to be REALLY horribly annoying....

You will to wait until we preview it. It won't be boring....but then his is a lot of White COuncil business too, so there will be rpg elements to his 'good' campaign. He will get a mix of things...as he gathers in the WHite COuncil's allies..

REALLY sorry....

[Acquaviva]

For Rivendell Noldors:
(when your faction conquest Ost-In-Edhil)

My King, after the conquest of the ancient Noldirin city of Ost In Edhil our soldiers have discovered in a palace the secret room where Celebrimbor himself created the Rings of the Power! There are also some papers that describe the way to replicate his opera. Do you want to start the creation of new Rings? These objects will give to our faction an immense power; we will see Elves as strong as they were in the days of ancient Eregion!

Yes: you give your authorization to start the work, paying X gold. Your smiths and magicians work for weeks, and finally they create for you a new Ring of the Power (-or more than one, to give maybe to other lords that visit Ost In Edhil-). Your trade income grows a lot, and so the population of your cities. Farming grows. Maybe access to new units or larger unit pool of recruitment. Your king gains the ancillary "Ring of the Power" and gains command, authority, life points, ecc.
In the other way, relations with all the other Evil factions decrease quickly (maybe also with some of the White Council, worried about your growing power). Armies of orcs of Mordor appear in a few turns to destroy the Dark Lord's most powerful enemy.

No: nothing happens.

[BohemianHussar]

One for Breeland and Hobbits (This is my first time writing such events so im probably going to be somewhat bad at this)

My Lord (or is it Mayor, not to well informed on their political structure), a stranger messenger from the south has arrived bring with him a proposition. He wishes to purchase some of our stores of tobacco m'lord, to be shipped to Isengard. And by the look of the gold he has shown as payment it would seem very unwise to turn down such an offer! Think of the profit to be made sir especially with the large harvests we've been having!

Yes- You recieve X amount of gold (a huge sum considering Saruman's stockpile found)...but the chance of an army of ruffians and bandits under Isengard's banner may spawn near the Shire one day....

No- Increase in relation with good factions.

[Squeaks]

Hey...not half bad at all. First one of many, I hope? I LIKE it...well thought out and fits in with what we've been up to perfectly...probably cleverer than my one taht's similiar...like it LOADS!!

Thanks, willl potter off with it now and make the other writers feel bad... We'd have to doctor it, but this is about ideas, not any grammatical errors...I mean, look at my typing...you'd bever think I was NEglish..... Your english, and that of many of the people on twc that speak as a second language is better than half our country!

[Tokus*Maximus]

Looking forward to modding your custom event pics for the YES / NO stuff...!

Keep up the great work - Tokus

[Ozzmosis]

Perhaps an event for when Isengard chooses to become Shadow of isengard.
The forest of isengard:
The tower of Orthanc and the surrounding provinces are full of trees, which could be used as fuel for the furnaces. Should we exploit these resources and fuel our war-machine?
Yes: income bonus, increased unit pool, (maybe another recruitment slot if possible or necessary?), but surrounding nations, especially fangorn, elves and Rohan, are aware of your corruption and become angry towards your defilation of the forests and the fact that orcs are being produced. Rohan may declare war.
No: faction standing stays the same, but no bonus, and maybe a reduction in production. (though this gives you time to grow before attacking Rohan/elves)

So really, it's a choice between, all out war, or bide your time.

[Squeaks]

Great one!

Thanks again....



WILL use

[Tokus*Maximus]

Look forward to creating more custom DaC event pics for these neat Y/N scripts.

[jakev2]

Though i suppose you could also use it for Gondor, as Denethor was using the one in Minas Tirith.

[Squeaks]

Taters! ahem.....Jake!

Sorry, can't resist it.

Well done! As I'm about to post, there are similar ideas for Galadriel's mirror, as you'll, so could you do any ideas for her mirror and alter the Palantir one to existing bounds...ie Saruuuman and Denethor's...?

Nice though. We discussed finding Palantiri, and decided it was too far gone, but the esiting ones could do with events.

[Squeaks]

Some more of ours:



NEYA UNVEILED!

FACTION: LORIEN

As Lord of Lorien, the Goldenwood, Do you command Lady Galadriel to bring the power of Nenya, ring of Adamant to bear upon the foe, rather than resisting the decay of the woods of Lorien?

YES: Lorien. Buildings take longer for X turns, IF CHOOSE: Khazad dum gains upgrades to all troops. Lorien loses X income for X turns. IF CHOOSE: Ents awake more gain X units/advance more on their events or create an extra ent event. ROHAN: same

NO: Lorien gains a building, gains mirror view of Dol Guldur + surrounding area. Bad trait gained or more pop leave for undying lands

---------------------------



THE LONGING

X General wishes to obey the longing in his very soul and embark upon the Long Road, the pilgrimage to the Undying Lands. Do you let him depart under your grace and blessing?

YES: General Leaves the faction (maybe use the Britannia Script?)

Loyalty of all generals +2
Unrest -2
What else?

NO: Unrest up
General's loyalty down
Use Crusading Scripts to see if units desert

-------------------------------------------



GALADRIEL'S MIRROR

FACTION: LORIEN #1

Galadriel has sent an offering my Lord; she allows us the use of her Mirror, despite the enemy's constant vigil. Her control is that of an artist, yet she cannot safely use what he can influence through will. She may not direct the mirror's use directly, for it shows many things, but may reveal some of His plans should we pursue this risky option. It is your decision to make and yours alone.

YES: The Mirror reveals a large but random area of the map, as Galdriel does not rule the use of her Mirror. Mordor spawns a spy in Lorien itself as Sauron pierces the realm's defences briefly.

NO: Nothing happens.
--------------

Whatcha think? These are drafts still, but I thought I'd show the pics for the atmosphere, and show what your events will look like!

Thanks
