All too 100%, this will clearly increase and bastardize the Event results ten fold for all the tiered categories and will not prove the result you are attempting to present."

It will prove his point. If you turn Catastrophic events off, they should NEVER occur, even with event frequency set to 100%. These settings, by the way, refer to the chance settings in the game setup, not to the severity of the event itself.

I added to edit:

Proof is in the game, as WE both just stated loosing a Home World or Planet to a random event in AIC HAS NOT happened to you or I, ever.

Do you think the AI Players interprets or is some how effected differently then a Human Player would be.
All players, Human or AI Subscribe to the same Events File, Oleg

Also Oleg, do you feel Aaron was in error with the default se4 Events File by not having it in the order by having a high follow a catastrophic event as I did?

I am going to reorder the events in the file (low -> catastrophic) and I'll post if it happens again, but hopefully not...that was my homeworld...

(edit: I really need to finish reading a thread before replying )

I would be very interested in your results, please let us know

Oleg, I look forward to testing your file this month and thank you for reorganizing the AIC events file
As long as the KEY event percentages do not change then sure, it is a go.

As always I enjoy our discussions

John

HW or Home system destruction aside - I'll do more checks later - the presence of "low" events behind "medium", "high" or "catas." events turns them all to "low". That's my numeorous (by now ) tests prove. I'm dead certain about it

All right, I started plain SEIV game except only catastrophic events are in events.txt file. There are only me (EDF- Atrocities' race ) and one neutral. I pressed F12 untill got this :

1062288468.zip

Now imagine it happens while you are playing proportion's game with "catastr." events assigned the status "low"

Hi Fyron.

Employment has been all absorbing (Employment is so overrated . As promised, I will put 100% into it as soon as the Air Conditioning season slows, AIC is in most aspects now finished, later this month looks good for Adamant…

I have been downloading your updates and I look forward to getting on board with Adamant and posting within the Adamant thread itself
