Well it seems that acquisition weights for the unique seem to be abit bugged. I've been playing around with Byzantium and during two hundred years I have received unique missions three times. Conquer the Eastern Balkans, Recover Alexandria and Restore the Pentarchy. All of my rulers except one have been mil 4 or higher so the weight for the military missions have been at 2000-4000 almost constantly. Still I get almost solely generic mission (fabricate, money, manpower etc.), but the Restore the Pentarchy mission has almost constantly been an option even while holding just Constantinople and at one point not even that. (I lost it at one point.)
So my question is, where can I see the mission weights for generic missions? Or are the mission weights just meaningless?

I think they can be found in the files.

After exactly five seconds of opening the game folder in steam and checking the folder called "missions", there is a file called Byzantine_Missions.txt there. Hmmm.... I wonder where those Byzantium missions are described? Can't be here right? It's too simple for it to be true.

Sorry to be a jerk, but you're just being lazy.

It could be argued, though, that you're also a bit on the lazy side with your reading. The OP referring to the ruler military skill and the resulting mission weight would indicate to me he might have found and read the Byzantine missions file. That file, however, doesn't contain the generic missions the OP was asking for.

I think it's also based on score. In my Byzantium game, I'd get missions for Antioch, Alexandria, and the Pentarchy all at the same time immediately after winning a war and conquering huge amounts of land — and promptly revert to generic missions a couple months later.

edit: meant score/month for current month

The only thing affected by scoregain is who is considered a great power. There isn't a single mission that scales its weight on scoregain, and I don't think it's even possible to mod that in right now :p
