Editing Plots/Plans

Plots, also known as "plans", serve as an information system for the player to have more insight and understanding of events in-game. They do this by showing the player in advance when a war, rebellion, etc is being planned with a red icon above a certain leader or unit. 

== Information ==
Plan icons can be turned off by the player if they would like to not view them on the map with the "Plans and Plots Icons" [[Powers|power]] in the civilizations tab. Players can learn more about on-going plots by clicking on the  "Plans and Plots" button in the same tab. Once the player does this a menu will pop up informing the player about who is planning the plot, when they started planning, how old the plan is, how many people are involved, and a progress bar showing how close the plan is to completion. Players can also get a sense of how close a plan is to being completed without viewing the menu by viewing the rate at which the red plot icon above the unit's head pulsates.

Plans can be interrupted/canceled under certain conditions such as a war starting before a rebellion plot is able to finish or the unit plotting dies. Most plots take about 3 [[Months|years]] to complete. Players can also cancel plots by either killing the unit plotting or by using the divine light [[Powers|power]] on the plotting unit. Some plots can be completed by non-kings if a king's village is destroyed mid-planning (kings are demoted when their capital is destroyed but will continue their plot). [[Kings and Leaders|Kings and village leaders]] will not start a plot if they are actively fighting. Kings will attempt plots in this order: Join [[Alliances|Alliance]] -> Create Alliance -> Dissolve Alliance -> [[War]] -> Peace Talks. <gallery>
