Evolutionary Events

[TeutonicKnight]

What years do different events occur? I'm specifically referring to events that unlock the next stage of units. Plate armor, longbows, whatever.

I have been playing 6.3 with 2tpy. I can pretty much go the entire game without ever seeing new units, and I'm wondering when the different events occur. This of course gets rather tedious, and I started using the mod that gives me the old 6.2 recruitment back. Now I'm starting to dislike that because I get high end units too fast, and I'd like to just try to deal with it the way it's supposed to be.

Is there a file or a post that has the events listed and their date of occurrence?

Thanks!

The events are listed in descr_events.txt, which is in data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign
What event an unit needs you can find in the EDB.

Thanks, Meneth! That's a great help.

Yeah. But sometimes we get Pavise Crossbowmen before Pavise Shield event.

Yeah. But sometimes we get Pavise Crossbowmen before Pavise Shield event.

and longbowmen before English archers

anyway, for most generic western factions the major unlocking events are (AFAIK after looking trhough the EDB )

1. heavy mail
2. gunpowder discovered
3. new era begins
4. half plate armour
5. full plate armour
6. first watch
7. pike and shot

heavy mail and new era especially is major.

1) 1200
2) 1240
3) 1300
4) 1310 (partial plate)
5) 1380
6) I don't know what First Watch is, but in 1400 you get Improved Metallurgy.

All I know is it's a long, long time to wait at 2tpy.

I must learn patience.

I am also a 2tpy player. Half of my empire is built by spear militia and mailed knights.

Where i can check when some units become recruitable? I've searched in .txts in data folder, but without success yet...

[TeutonicKnight]

I just went through this myself.

Thanks a lot now another question... is there any way i could change date of such event? For example, so it will happen faster?

Identical Threads Merged.

If you check that other thread, it will tell you what file to look for dates. You can edit the dates of the events to your heart's content.

To be honest, I was just happy knowing when they were coming. I'm able to hold back and enjoy it a bit more.

If you want to have the old style recruitment back, look at the "No Waiting" submod in the submods folder. It will give you what you are after, I think.
