Some questions....

How to change the amount of MPP received by disbandement of units?

In Campaign/edit country data/Modifiers:

What is : Soft Build MPP penalty?

Merci!

[ericdauriac]

Another question: in the script: events: units, to which corresponds the value level = -1

Merci!

Hi

The proportion of a unit's cost that can be received by disbanding a unit is set by the engine, so cannot be amended in the Editor.

Soft Builds are explained on page 9 of the Manual. Essentially it's a way to make increasing an army beyond its default size cost more MPPs per extra unit.

I'm not sure. Can you post an example and I'll take a look?

Thanks

Thanks, I think they should be #LEVEL= 1 rather than #LEVEL= -1.

I do not think, in the same file there is :

Thanks, it's something I'll ask Hubert once he's better.

"Value = -1 is used to specify a script that should only fire for AI friendly controlled majors on your turn..."

[sPzAbt653]

#TYPE=
; 0 = Single check regardless if #TRIGGER is satisfied
; 1 = Multiple check until #TRIGGER is satisfied

I like using '1', but wonder about '0'. What is the 'single check' triggered by, and when is it appropriate to use '0' ?

[crispy131313]

Use Type= 0 when you have a trigger less than 100%. That way even if conditions are satisfied there is only a chance the event will fire. If it does not, it will not try to again. An example below:

#NAME= DE 822 - UK: Switzerland Ends Axis Relations (AI - 90% Yes)
#POPUP= Prime Minister %NWinston Churchill %N%NReports indicate that Switzerland could be convinced to end its relationship with the Axis. Now that the Swiss and German diplomacy is at an all-time low, our government should move quickly to persuade Switzerland to severe ties and end it's relationship as a facilitator for German trade. The Swiss are confident that Germany will not declare war on their country as a result. %N%NDo we approve payments to Switzerland to sway the government to severe Axis and Swiss relations? It will cost 150 MPP for 2 Turns.
