History Generator

[kolvar]

Lets see:
- added the possibility to do a history without no "nation dead" possibility (either Dark Ages (100-499 years of unrecorded history) or Crisis (just recorded)). I am not entirely happy with this, but what the heck.
- "BC" and "AD" possible (befor and after year 0)
- expanded the event list and added some links
- War Probability can be given (kind of template for other probabilities: so, if you want other events that should get assignable probabilities, tell me).
- fixed a bit of programming, added some comments and rearanged a bit of code.

This is amazing! Now it's even better! I did get tons of art and librarie and all that stuff. And I warred with all of my neighbors in 200 years and none before that (going from 2000 year history)

Coming along nicely. Could be very useful...

OK ok, I redo the probabilities for Art and Libraries. (OK, I should redo all the probabilities and what influence what, but it is so boring, editing this list).


Anyone got more links, I could add?

Very nice!

I used to have something similar, but a lot less detailed, on my old Amiga. The one I created just produced a vague outline and relied on the user to extrapolate the details himself.

One feature that mine had that yours didn't was the inclusion of Miraculous and Secular magic events. If you add such then you may want to be able to turn them on/off seperately.

You may also wish to have this moved to the Computers and Software forum where it is likely to remain on the front page for longer time. (This generator is well worth having visible for a good long time.)

Thanks Auld Grump,

Adding Mystical/ Magical Events is just a bit of adding text to the event-list, turning them off can be done already, although it would be a bit time-consuming, therefor, I should add some lines of code.
I will aks the admins to move the thread.

What kind of magic events would you like to have?

 

[TheAuldGrump]

Some examples would be
Divine or Miraculous
Major curse affecting entire nation. (Plague of Locusts, etc)
Major blessing affecting entire nation.
Curse affecting royal/noble family.
Witchhunts.
Prophecy of coming disaster/wonder/new king.
Death of a god.
Rise of a false prophet.

Secular Magic
Undead army attacks
Wizards battling each other.
Wizards terrorizing countryside, vying for dominion.
Artifact created/destroyed
School of wizardry opened/closed.

Outstanding!

Kolvar,

I just wanted to stop back by and check on the progress. I especially like the links to resources on the various happenings...you need to get together with Alish2o...he is the king of historical links.

This is really a great little generator. One more thing (since I am a coding idiot AND want to give you more work). Is it possible to have an option to input the names of opposing civilizations instead of having them randomly generated? Also, an option along the lines of Death of Enemy Civilization, where you actually can input the dead civilization would be cool (Civ A kills off Civ B in 524).

Thanks for all of your tremendously hard work!

@Auld Grump: put in the events you posted (except those I feel are part of another event). The probabilities are a bit off, probably.

@Old One: I will see, what I can do for the names. I fear the death of civ B will be a bit more difficult, but I will see, what I can do.
