Mod for Disabling "Free" Troop Events?

[sushiboat]

Is there a mod for disabling the "free" troops that are supposedly good random events? If not, is such a thing moddable? Thanks in advance.

Not what I know of.

Verrsion 1.0 of Zen's scale mod makes the events worth it, unforunately it makes pythium PD extremely good, so version 1.1 does not include the feature.

A dirty way to accomplish this would be to give the aquatic tag to the militia. This doesn't stop Pythium's PD from working but it should kill any militia that dares volunteer. Of course this also makes militia die instantly when recruited normally but that's no big loss, right?

So:
#selectmonster 30
#aquatic
#end

I think a better way would be to make them a 1 gold troop so they cost almost no upkeep.

Also, if you did this, they might actually be worth recruiting. Maybe.

My infantry rebalance mod makes them 3g each, which should help. As for aquatic, the computer would still recruit them... and then simply have no armies, rather than weak starving diseased armies

3 gold is probably pretty well balanced. One would actually consider buying them. Can Man recruit them for 2 gold in your mod then?

I recruit them when I want cannon fodder...
