Flood!

[Goscinio]

First of all, sorry if this has been posted before, i did a search but couldn't find anything, so here goes....


My lands have been attacked by the Gods!

PS: I forgot to take a screenshot from the message that said my lands were flooded

[Boudicca]

What is the problem about flooding? It happens all the time! (Still looking for the secret message within this thread)?

[Goscinio]

Really? my bad then, never had it before (neither in RTW or BI, until now)
I feel really stupid now Someone should probably close this then...

[Boudicca]

Goscinio, don't feel bad about it. I never remembered the "Espionage in Carthage" event shortly after the beginning of the campaign and brought it up in Rome total realism IRC chat as somethin special I had just encountered...it really was my bad

[Fabolous]

Wow man, some bump...

Alright, here is how. Go do your RTW or BI folder, and go to Data/World/Maps/Base and in it go to Descr_disasters in it raise the frequency of any of the events you want to see more. :wink:

I think I remember that. Did I mock you?

I don't think that file does anything.

For a test add anything you want in that file (garbage, whatever...).
Delete map.rwn just to be sure.
Start campaign using -show_err option.

And guess what no error message of any kind. Like game does not use that file at all.

P.S.
Tested with 1.5/1.6

[arvid_eriksson]

wow wait until you have two full stacks and a big naval fleet hanging around alexandra and they get wiped out by an earthquake

[hellheaven1987]

Well, the natural disasters I have met until now - earthquake, volcano, flood, storm, plauge... I think that's all. Did I miss anyone?

Two that I know of, dustbowl (which I assume is a sandstorm) and locusts. :wink:

[shadowarmy75]

They have locusts? The gods must be angry for that to happen. I wonder what the Romans thought when locusts came?

Never seen locusts...I remember hearing once that there was a disaster that was effectively disabled because it required the afflicted area be dense forest and deep water. Which is impossible...

Nah, that is this one called horde...

event		horde
frequency	10
winter		false
summer		false
warning		false
region		the sea
climate		temperate_forest_deep
min_scale	2
max_scale	5

So that one doesn't work. Don't know what it did. Same code in BI and RTW.


Locusts in the RTW campaign on the other hand...

event		locusts
frequency	30
winter		false
summer		false
warning		false
climate		sandy_desert
climate		rocky_desert
climate		semi_arid
min_scale	2
max_scale	5

Are perfectly fine.
Though in the BI campaign, they have a frequency of 0, because CA decided that you shouldn't have locusts in the BI period.

EDIT: Dustbowl also has a frequency of 0 in the BI campaign.

Nah, I put the gods thingy in as a joke, I know the game isn't that sophisticated. Anyway, was a long time ago, and it was the first ( and still the only, although I haven't played a lot of RTW lately ) time I had flood as a disaster, and I thought it was something special, which obviously it isn't :wink:

As a mather of fact, the only disasters I've had are the plague, storm, flood and the Etna erupting. Never, not even once, have I got an earthquake,a dustbowl or a locust...

[LordSaradain]

woot! I've never seen any disasters except mount etna erupting, plague in macedon and storms that destroy fleets.

I've never encountered any earthquakes, floods, dustbowls nor locusts in any of my campaigns...

I'd love seeing some screenshots!
