@Zombo: at least I've finished moving to a new location in a different town and found enough calm to help out Kossatx modding the game.

Might as well have another go at fiddling around with the scripts any time soon.

btw. i found one bug in potzblitz, while playing as cp, british empire can be hold out of war forever

bombing french coastal cities in channel is lowering british entering round counter, but multiple bombing can lower it below zero, next turn it resets to 0, bombing below, then reset to 0 etc.

I have your V34(old) version of Potzblitz events. There is any other newest version? Playing your mod with CP, has been triggered in turn 11 an event of a secret pact between Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire which don't appears in V34(old). This event puts the Ottoman Empire with Entente alliance and, the next turn, includes Bulgaria too... :cry:

The pact will trigger if either Bulgaria or Turkey is attacked while the other one is still neutral.
The other nation then will declare war too on the attacking alliance, no matter whether CP or Entente attacked.

Check. Also made sure this won't happen at Gallipoli in singleplayer.

Okay then, did quite a lot of streamlining the scripts with special attention given to removal of suspect randomizers that might mess up things in multiplayer.

I'm going to test the new V5.4 over the weekend, so if you guys have any ideas of stuff you want to have included or changed please say so.

The last test was not satisfactory so I edited so much more stuff, we'll go straight to V6.0

I discarded the "Denounce" option from the diplomatic screen since it was quite useless.
Instead there'll be a "Pillage" diplomatic option that nets a gain of 1 extra PP from every enemy city, capital or fortress occupied by your troops from the selected enemy.
Of course this will anger neutrals and it will also increase the cost for future diplomatic actions.

I also included the scripted targeting for AI units already applied to CP units in singleplayer to Entente units in singleplayer.

Maximum limit of allowed number for Zeps and bombers was faulty and got fixed. Maximum unit number of Zeps and bombers now correctly limited by number of completed Zep/bomber techs. The carpet bombing fans should rejoice. ;)

INTEL events did not work correctly and got fixed and now they really matter.

"Mud" event was fixed so units can move without taking the mud with them. :roll:

New "cleverly" designed randomizing function applied. Should the multiplayer crashes be caused by randomizing, then the game should crash on the first turn.
This should at least help to find the problem. At the very least the game now has a decent randomizer. 8)

"Essen Strike" event got fixed again and hopefully for the last time: INFLUENCE Sweden as CP before Russia DOWs and you have a 10% chance per INFLUENCE point spent to have the event added to your pool of events so Sweden can join CP. Of course Entente can counter-influence to prevent this.

New choice-events:
"Bring Lenin to Russia" to speed up October Revolution
"Kornilov Affair" to possibly counter October Revolution
"Finland Revolt" (can be started by INFLUENCING Finland via diplo screen)

Wonderful to see you still supporting this mod and game.

I'll look forward to applying it to my PC version of the game once I am done with my current iPAD campaign.
