Amaesia - 24/7 Ready to revolt

[octarus]

Hi,

Playing as Pergamon and since my first turn to now about turn 500 (assuming each year is 1 turn??) this province, Amaesia has had -100 law and -100 happiness.

There's no instructions on how to get rid of this effect.

In the export_descr_buildings.txt file, there's these lines

In the campaign_script.txt file, there are these lines

Based on all of this, there are two possibilities (both guessed):

1. Amaesia was already revolting, which triggered the re-emergence script. This would inject a massive amount of unrest into settlements that are factions' starting capitals, which encourages factional re-emergence
2. This is a visual bug. Nowhere in the code does it say MINUS 20 law or happiness. Maybe having 20 law or happiness causes the game to glitch out. Please try clicking end turn to see if this persists or if the settlement actually riots.

Hey Shoebopp,

Thanks for the message. I have had the "-100 law and happiness" issue the entire game, over 500 turns. Today I forced a rebellion by leaving the city empty and when I reconquered, it still had the same -100 law and -100 happiness.

I might go through and delete those files about pontus, but dam that looks to be so much information I don't know if it'll make the game crash afterwards lol.

Thanks

[octarus]

I don't think this had anything to do with Pontus being destroyed, because the entire time Pontus was still around, they had a full stack in Amaseia and never left, which means that it was always at risk of revolting even in their hands at -100 law and happiness.

[Shoebopp]

Oh no, the building applies the bonus when Amaseia is in Pontus's hands, and does nothing otherwise. Try these steps

1. Make a backup of export_descr_buildings.txt
2. In your game's EDB, find these lines

law_bonus bonus 20 requires event_counter ros_stabilisation_104 1
population_health_bonus bonus 20 requires event_counter ros_stabilisation_104 1
happiness_bonus bonus 20 requires event_counter ros_stabilisation_104 1

and delete them.
3. Boot up the campaign and see if those massive penalties have disappeared.

Even if this removes the penalties, a new problem will be introduced: Pontus's factional re-emergence will be broken. So once you make that change, DO NOT allow Pontus to re-emerge. You ensure that by keeping Amaseia and Trapezous (the two settlements linked to Pontus re-emergence) at least a Yellow Face. Otherwise, Pontus will continuously re-emerge and then be destroyed due to extreme unhappiness, or straight up crash the game. To reiterate: DO NOT ALLOW PONTUS TO RE-EMERGE

[Shoebopp]

Did it work? I also suggest having two copies of EDB in two folders: "CurrentPergamon" and "Original". Whenever you play as Pergamon, use the CurrentPergamon's EDB, and when playing as another faction, use the Original's. This way, when playing as another faction, Pontos re-emerging halfway across the map won't cause issues, while your Pergamon campaign remains fixed
