Re: Creating a World - Advanced recruiting with event counters
Correct, the americas uses the descr_mercenaries event switch triggered by the monitor you listed. It's based on the state of alliances, underneath the monitor that switches the merc recruitment off again:
Code:
;;; Spain no longer allied with Aztecs
monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType spain
and I_EventCounter spain_allied_aztecs == 1
and DiplomaticStanceFromFaction aztecs > Allied
set_event_counter spain_allied_aztecs 0
end_monitor
The prestige points principle used in americas is basically a counter that increases upon successfully completing missions (set of conditions). At defined levels an award (set of command) is issued - it is not related to recruiting as far as I could see.
In the end it can be used (like any other set of conditions) to set the necessary event counters to facilitate the event switch in descr_mercenaries.
