Rules

- Obviously, let's keep it to appropriate submissions. Anything inappropriate will result in a warning added to your account, as well as a two day suspension.
- I'd prefer if we keep it to three responses, at most.
- Effects are only to affect one variable.

Submission

- Post it here, and you will be notified if your issue is going to be accepted after a review of it. Only those who's issues have been accepted will be notified of it.
- As per the time period between submission and acceptance, there is no specific time period. Of course, we want to get issues into the game as soon as possible, but we want to make sure that each issue is perfected so that we don't run into any sort of issues later on. Asking "How long will it take to find out if my issue will be accepted" will not be answered, as there is no defined time-table.

Moving on up!

This is now open for you lot to post suggestions in. Please criticize nicely only.

Kidnapped Diplomat.

Your diplomat has been kidnapped.

Option A: You let him be killed, happiness is -2 for the day.
Option B: You pay the ransom (10,000$).

Like other events, I think the effects have to last for a month. Also, no large nation would take the minus two happiness. $10,000 is nothing to even a 1000 infra nation.

Rebels have taken captive your railway!

Option 1: Send in military to "deal with them." -2 happiness

Option 2: Ignore and let cool off. +3 happiness, lose one incoming trade (at random).

Option 3: Give in to demands. Change state religion to random, -1 happiness

The Industrial Revolution has finally arrived, choose how to use your peoples increased productivity:

Option 1: You direct your nations increased efficiency into healthcare, extending the lifetime of your population, reducing the number of still births, this has the knock-on effect of increasing the number of pensioners, and the number of babies in your nation and thus your nations overall population. However the increased number of pensioners, and youths in your nation places a higher support burden on your budget.
Effect: Population increased by 5%. Population Income reduced by 5%. (The reduction in pop income is necessary for the effect i wish this event option to have)

Option 2: You direct your nations increased efficiency into infrastructure maintenance. Infrastructure upkeep is reduced. This comes at the price of causing more of your workers to feel depressed at their increased workload.
Effect: Infrastructure upkeep reduced by 7% Population Happiness -3.

Option 3: You direct your nations increased efficiency into Military Equipment Manufacture and the training of Soldiers. This increases the number of people who feel secure with the nations ability to repel an invading force.
Effects: Soldier efficiency increases 10%, the required number of soldiers per 1000 citizens to keep order in your nation falls by 5% (this would mean that you only need 15% of citizens before you population rioted instead of the usual 20%).

You are at war with another nation, a nation in your alliance has fallen into enemy hands but some scientists claimed that they have managed to escape to avoid being captured by the enemy. They have proposed that they have managed to crack the enemy's code which allows you to intercept their communications. What is your decision as a commander?
A) Trust the source and tries to intercept their message

Effect:
70% chance - the scientists has been captured by the enemy and they have provided you with false information. You have lost an important war and your casualties are increasing rapidly. -10% population -2 happiness

30% chance - the scientists are telling the truth which leads to your victory over your enemy, your enemy has agree to surrender and has offered you lands and people. +10% population +2 happiness

Killed the scientists and dis-regard the new information
90% chance - the scientists has been killed and you have gain nothing from this event, the good news is that you have lost nothing from this event either.

10% chance - the scientists has managed to escape before the execution and they have now headed back to their own nation with classified information of your military. -5 happiness


A few days later, you intercept a message which the enemy bombers are going to bomb a non-strategic city of yours. what is your decision as a commander?

A) let the bomber squadron attack and let this remain a secret to the enemy
effect:
90% chance - the bomber has hit the target, but the enemy never knows their communication system has already been cracked, which lead to future military success. +10% strength ground and air attack in the next round -2% infrastructure

9% chance - the bomber has not hit the target, but the enemy never knows their communication system has already been cracked, which lead to future military success. +10% strength ground and air attack in the next round

1% chance - the bomber has not hit the target, but from their enemy spy they realized their communication system has been cracked, which they have corrected. Your future military operation will have limited success -10% strength ground and air attack in the next round.

B ) send aircraft to intercept enemy aircraft
50% chance - the enemy has realized their communication system has been cracked, which they have corrected. Random aircraft lost and -2 happiness

30% chance - the enemy has realized their communication system has been cracked, which they have corrected. However, your spy has able to crack their new communication system again. Your army has triumphed over your enemy and your whole nation celebrated the victory over your hated rivals. +3 happiness

20% chance - the enemy thought its their luck that your aircraft happens to be in the right place in the right moment, nothing has been changed for their communication system. +3 happiness

*chances are not statics, it will change depends on how many spies, population, NS, aircraft with your nation.

Some events shouldn't be totally random at collection. Some should be able to be brought up by actions you take adding a cause and effect sort of thing. This wouldn't happen every time, of course, but it would have a certain chance of happening whenever it was triggered. Every time this trigger happens, there is a 2% chance you get this event. Some madness like that.


Ex. This would come after you send spies into an enemy nation and they are caught.

Your spies have been caught and are being held ransom.

Option 1: Send armed forces to attempt to rescue the captured agents. (Military efficiency -10%, spies returned)
Option 2: Pay the ransom. (Citizen income -2%, spies returned)

Ex2. The opposite of the above event.

You have captured enemy spies attempting to [insert spy operation].

Option 1: Demand a ransom for the spies lives. (Citizen income +2%)
Option 2: Kill the spies as a warning to other spies. (Counter-intelligence +10%)
Option 3: Release the spies. (Population happiness +2, spies are returned to the nation)

Note that option 3 has a larger positive effect than option 1, but also gives the spies back to the nation.

I like how half the people here can't read:

Effect: -25% population growth

Response 2: Prioritize Humanitarian Aid
Effect: -15% infrasturcture

Response 3: Leave the are left to nature
Effect: -30% land

i believe it was also quoted above to think of positice events since we mostly have negative

Wouldn't that last one give you more land? Not less? Or do you mean there would be less usable land?

Also, in the event description, 'A major earthquake has destroyed a large portion of your infrastructure...' fits a bit better, I think. 'Much of your infrastructure' gives the impression that you have lost somewhere between 50-100% of it.

The idea was to lose land

Way too much.

what does -25% pop growth mean?

Your closest advisor has died and you need to find a replacement, someone who you can trust to lead both you and your nation in the right direction.

meta suggestion on events = make them as news headlines aka CN-N:

have the event (or outcome) show up as a news item when you look at a specific country. To disguise it, do not list the start or end date. News would help add additional flavor to the game.

For simplicity, it might get rolled into the extended display. For simplicity, it would also *not* be a news channel of events around the world

Your labor camps workers revolt and refuse to to work. During this event labor camps cost 300,000 to purchase

option 1 give them a gradual pay increase to get them to work -each LC Reduces infra upkeep costs -5%, reduces population happiness -1.
option 2 slaughter them and replace them with new labor -each LC Reduces infra upkeep costs -10%, reduces population happiness -2.
option 3 do nothing - labor camps have no effect -each LC's Reduces infra upkeep costs -0%, reduces population happiness -1.

this event could be setup to only work if you have labor camps, so it should be coded to check for that...

Your banks have been robbed several times in the past week and people are not feeling save about trusting your banks.

option 1: post military at the banks - each bank's population income +7%, happiness +2
option 2: use the military and intelligence agencies to hunt down the thieves, recover the money and kill them. each banks population income +9%, happiness -2 (people don't like the fact you killed the thieves)
option 3: Do nothing, - each bank Increases population income +0%.

The events are completely broken as they currently stand. They are destroying nations all over this game.

It's becoming a game killer. A 100% mistake.

Please turn them off and rethink the entire program from scratch.

what? destroying nm\nations? If a few events can destroy an entire nation, that person isn't playing right.

Wrong. I knew a very healthy 18K NS nation rising rapidly that had several bad events at once and went into bill lock when he then lost a trade.

He would have needed emergency aid simply to pay his bills because the events were too onerous. He was no slacker or bad player. 18K in 6 months is no slouch when he had very minimal aid. He actually helped others play their nations better as an auditor. He knew as much about the game as many old hand players and studied vigorously. His nation name was Le Pays de Werty.

When he realized that without outside aid he wouldn't survive a month of the event because his native resource set was more difficult than most (Lead/Rubber) to nail down trades he got fed up. The game killed his nation. No player, himself included, had a hand in it. He got fed up and deleted.

Btw, have you had a -$10 event yet? I have, and that was the safest choice. Imagine a small nation getting a couple of those!

Get real, people are complaining like crazy in every alliance board I visit (quite a number) and on this one. It was so bad here that Admin locked down the discussion to a single "black hole" thread.

Events are broken. Plain and simple. Utterly and completely

Turn them off and throw the baby out with the bathwater. Scorch and burn. Rip the code out by the roots.

This is so bad we shouldn't even bother to try to fix the event process. Events should be removed from the game forever simply because this is so bad.

this is where I disagree, with you.

I do not know if that nation you were talking about, but my question is this? was he using labor camps to lower bills? I would like more info on this.

I currently have 5 events in my nation, here are my events: Land area -5%, Citizen count +1%., Population happiness -4, Citizen income -$2.00., Citizen income -$5.00.,Citizen count -1%, Citizen income +$3.00., Citizen income -$3.00.

for a total of: Citizen Income -$7.00, Population happiness -4, land area: -5%. Its not much this time around.

I have no choice but to use labor camps to solve these difficult situations, and personally I think that events add more strategy to the game.

I believe the code needs to be cleaned up and that nations should have no more then 4 events at one given time. Also I think event times should be shortened from 30 days to 15 days. IMPO I think that 30 days is excessive and overkill. Also there should be a counter to check to see how many events someone has had in 90 days, and there should be no more then 15 events during that time.

Also I would like to hear from those that are having extreme difficulty with their nations due to events in this thread.. that way we can get some serious debate on the flaws and weaknesses of events, that can be fixed.

At some point a failure is so utter that trying to redeem it is merely insulting the injury.

Biggest positive event I've seen to far since they came back online? A measly +2.

Average damage by the bad events are far more weighty now. If I had been a n00b with my last event and didn't know the value of happiness to dollars I could have nailed myself for a blistering -6 Happiness. As it stands this single event's best choice cancels out the power of wonder!

Since I've seen plenty of players get multiple events in a day then imagine if someone got a couple like mine at once!

are they using labor camps?? which is my big question...

I figure base it off of how many events per infra level you are at. example:

max number of events	Infra level
0	0 to 1999.99
1.	2000-2999.99
2	3000-4999.99
3	5000-7999.99
4	8000-9999.99
5	10,000+

He swapped and therefore had them some of the time. And this is still irrelevant as he still went down the drain economically from 1 lost trade and several brutal events. Bill lock by the second event. If you wanted to work a personal stat info project you could have simply pm'ed me instead of double posting info not relevant to my points. In the process burying my point on the prior page. I'm not working on your pet proposal in this thread. The only suggestion I have for nation events is to make them go away forever and let players work their own nations with skill instead of random carpet bombings.

Go read the the last couple pages in the discussion board on this topic and you will see the horror these events are afflicting.

Event:
Olympics(every 2 weeks) 1 Nation over 30 days old, and no inactivity is chosen to host it.
During the 3 days when the games are played, all nations besides the host will get:
+1 Happiness, +$4.00 Income, +1 Environment(If the host chooses option 3, the other nations will not receive any bonuses, instead only the nations in the hosts' sphere will receive a bonus.)

Effect: +10 population happiness, +$7.50 income, Citizen count +5%, -3 Environment(increase of cars) for 3 days.

Event: (This event only happens to country that has access to lead) A foreign toy manufacturer has sent your nation toys that has lead in it. Numerous children are poisoned, and some die.

Option 1: Cut off the importer's toys and recall the toys in circulation. (-2 Happiness, -2% Citizen count)
Option 2: Continue importing the toys but with more safer regulations. (-1 Happiness, -3% Citizen count)
Option 3: Cut off trade with importing nation(loses the trade with the nation giving you lead). (-1% Citizen count, +$3.50)

They are now limited in number, unlike before for additional events. Therefore it's no longer likely that a nation will have so many only negative events.

And if they do, they can sell stuff. People do that all the time to get out of bill locks. That or they can ask for aid. People do that all the time too.

Bottom line, always have a warchest. If he had enough to pay for 20 days your friend should have been able to get out of bill-lock.

Taxpayers are refusing to pay taxes because of recent legislation proposed by your advisors.
