Increased random event frequency

[frenzyfol]

Is there an easy way to increase the frequency of random events?..
I find there are way to few in most of my games.

You'd have to go into the xml files and manually change the frequencies for each one. So no, there isn't an easy way.

Willem, you NEWB!! (just kidding)

To change random events so they ALL have more probability of occurring, go into the GlobalDefines.xml file (in Assets/XML/). Change EVENT_PROBABILITY_ROLL_SIDES to a number less than its standard 100. It has been recommended that you do NOT lower it below 50. I generally go with 80.

Of course, it is strongly advised that you first copy the file into your CustomAssets/XML folder, and then edit the copy.

Oh well, I learn something new every day. I wasn't aware of that. But then there's so much in that Global Defines file that my eyes tend to glaze over as I'm going down the page.

There's some interesting stuff in there. OTOH, I learned this particular feature reading about it (that's how I got the "recommendation") either here or at CFC.
