scaled wealth - how does it work?

[ash001]

Hi,

does anyone know how the scaled wealth works for decisions?

I can see it being used here, for instance:

hold_a_epic_tournament  = {
		potential = {
			NOT = {
				has_character_flag = epic_tournament
			}
			independent = yes
			NOT = { is_female = yes	}
			OR = {
				tier = king
				tier = emperor 
			}
		}
		allow = {
			war = no
			age = 16
			prestige = 500
			wealth = 200
		}
		effect = {
			set_character_flag = epic_tournament
			wealth = -200
			prestige = 100
			character_event = { id = 70033 tooltip = "tournament_invite" }
			hidden_tooltip = {
				character_event = { id = 70001 days = 60 } # Tournament start
				any_realm_character = {
					limit = {
						is_feudal = yes
						NOT = { has_job_title = job_spiritual }
						age = 16
						NOT = { trait = incapable }
						prisoner = no	
						NOT = { is_female = yes	}
					}
					character_event = { id = 70000 }
				}
			}
		}
		ai_will_do = {
			factor = 1
			modifier = {
				factor = 0
				NOT = {
					OR = {
						wealth = 1000
						[COLOR="#FFD700"]scaled_wealth = 3.0[/COLOR]
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}

I thought the scaling had to do with inscreasing the cost of something overtime...
Am I 'reading' this wrong?

This is just a wild guess, but I think scaled_wealth = 3.0 means that the character has three times his yearly income. So in this case it means that AI will only make the decision (and this give an epic tournament) if he has three times his yearly income, unless that is 333 or more as he will do it with just 1000 coins instead.

Hmm... seems like a pretty good guess to me.
I'll run a test, let's see how it goes.

Right, scaled wealth is based on the income of the ROOT of the event. Very useful in making things expensive for very rich players or cheap for very poor players. For instance, the invite holy man, noble or debutante is based on scaled wealth, so its cheaper to get them when you have very little income. Once you've fully upgraded your castles, scaled wealth will hit you much harder. (or give you a bigger reward as well if you are using it to give money

Thanks for that, Fargham!

That's helpful

edit - By the way, Fargham, are you working on a CKII mod right now? I see you're a regular contributor to the forum but haven't caught you name linked to any mod so far...:ninja:

Its tough to explain, but I find it a lot more fun to tear apart things that are already in place, tweak them around a bit, than to do much of anything constructive. I learn a lot this way, but produce very little that is shareable with the public.

As far as being on an active project, I find that I'd just rather not devote my time to anything in particular. I tend to guard free time as my most precious resource and sitting down to make something that is worthy for public consumption is just not something I am willing to devote much time to.

Fair enough.

In any case, it's great to have you around the forum - your comments and replies have definitely been helpful to me.

Aye, I'll second that, ash. Fargham is definitely a good guy to have around.
