View Full Version : Timed events
Hi Guys
I have read some post at the LOTR3 forum regarding timed events and i as understands it, these events which happens, are happening after a fixed amount of time has elapsed. This made me wonder whether KoH will feature this or not ?
Personaly i don't like this, coz after a while when you have figure these things out i would think that the game would be somewhat predictiable.

The reason for them to spawn are calculated and maybe random too but they make all sense and are not generic.

Does this means that i wont be able to figure out what triggers the event ? ;)
Well, you can find out, eventually. There are more simple and more complex events. For example, the simplest of all of kinds is:
If you play with one of Earldoms of Ulster, Munster or Leister in early period and if you mange to conquer all of the other two - you will get message "Do you want your Kingdom to be renamed to Ireland?"
and if you answer:
- Yes - your kingdom will be renamed to Ireland, your ruler title will be King instead of Earl, you will get differnet flag and colors.
- No - Rebels, loyal to Irish cause will spawn, but you will get some gold as a gift from happy local nobility.
This was an example for very simple event.

Does it mean that there will be flags and colors not only for kingdoms, but also different for every realm???:confused:

Only when the realm is / was an independent kingdom. For instance when Brandenburg is a realm of Germany then of course it has the German flag. But when Brandenburg becomes independent it gets it own flag and colors.

But when Brandenburg becomes independent it gets it own flag and colors. One better than other. It's closer and closer to my dreams!!! :hello: wwoooooowww!!!! That's great that all "kingdoms"/states are not called kingdoms, so also earldoms, despotates(Epirus?), marchgravates(Brandenburg), principaties(Kiev) etc. etc. :)
Thank you for this GAME!!

We have only kingdom and realm (which have city names)... But we do not have different types, like you said margraves, despostates....they all are Realms or Kingdoms.

can some kingdoms be called like f.e. Grand Duchy of Lithuania etc?
:bash: sorry. It is probably called only Lithuania or Brandenburg etc. without any kingdom etc, am I right? Byzatine emp. Byzantium instead, France, England, Burgundy, Moscovia, Fatimids, etc... Holy Roman Empire:D

I have this ideal story:
I play in high medieval period. No matter if Bohemia is there original or not. If was from beggining, disappeared by conquest of HRE.
But then, when the "king" and governor ruled badly, people got angry and there kingdom of Bohemia came (again?) into life and after short time, because of good relations with France and Hungary conquered Moravia, Brandenburg, Silesia and Krakow(all those realm seem to be very likely in game, so I chosed them). This kingdom has flag as Elewyn showed in his maps and stuff: white lion on red flag. But then another rebellion (supported by Holy Roman Empire) succeeded in Bohemia. What will happen.
Will the kingdom be called Bohemia still with the same flag like before? and how the new kingdom (supported by HRE) will be called and what flag will it have?

No, only Lithuania
Brandenburg is a Realm. And when it becomes independent it is Kingdomg of Brandenburg with one realm, which is Brandenburg.
If the Kingdom Bohemia is gone and later the Realm Bohemia becomes independent (because of Rebels, Spy action etc.) then there can be again a Kingdom Bohemia.
However there is no Realm Germany, so when the German Kingdom disappears then no Germany for the whole remaining game.
One is for sure, we wont have 155+ accurate flags and banners, only for the Kingdoms in the starting point. If a Realm becomes indepenent then he gets a generic color and banner.

you want to say holy roman empire, dont you? ;)
These events seems to be quite a good idea to me actually.
Oooops! My mistake. Noble Sir Frank will forgive it to me I hope. Actually 2-3 days ago it became possible for us to have Earldoms, Kingdoms, etc. Lithuanya most probably will be Grand Duchy.

I'm a little confused here...
I.e. KoH will now feature earl- and kingdoms, but will it feature other kinds of xxx-doms ???

duchies, princedos, municipal republics??(venice, Genoa), but don't forget... emirates, sultanates, caliphates... all those?
Even if not all of those it is great!!! :hello:
