Please make World Events more common

from Stardock Forums

Or at least have them show up much more regularly when the option for more world events is selected.  I recently completed a really fun game on a large map at the penultimate difficulty level.  The game lasted for hundreds of turns due to how long it took to beat the AI down (AI performance seems significantly improved in most areas outside of diplomacy), but I only saw a single major world event, the Spider Queen, and only when the game had about 20 turns left in it.  I could have easily won the match well before any world events appeared, had I pursued a victory condition besides conquest.  Given that most of the major events add a lot of fun, and that they provide many of the games most challenging fights and best loot, I'd really like to see more of them, and much earlier.

It actually fairly easy to mod that if you want to try.

 

Just find CoreRandomEvents.xml in the data/english directory of Fallen Enchantress, copy the file to /mod directory which is located in users/my documets/my games/fallen enchantress folder and then change the trigger chance. ;-)

 

Oh yes, after that don't forget to enable mods in the game.

Okay, so I finally got around to trying this- I see I can change the trigger chances for each individual event, but what number would I want to set so that all events had roughly even odds of appearing in a 200-something turn game?  Right now the default chance for most events is 100, with some being as high as 500.  Does this mean 1/500 chance of appearing per turn?
