Plots

{{#switch: |={{#switch: {{{1}}} |nocat= |}} }}

Plots/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 icon above a certain leader or special unit. All of the units who make plots are always clan members and most likely village leaders or kings.

Information

Looking at Plots

Plot 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" 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. This is also how players unlock plots they can force onto units. Players can also get a sense of how close a plan is to being completed without viewing the menu by looking at how close an plot icon is to being in full color. Plots are carried out by kings, leaders, and clan members (sometimes plots are limited to only kings or leaders).

Canceling Plots

Plots can be interrupted/canceled under certain conditions such as a war starting before a rebellion plot is able to finish or when a unit plotting dies. Players can also cancel plots by either killing the unit plotting or by using the divine light power on the plotting unit.

Unlocking Plots

You can view unlocked plots through units that have plots directly or indirectly accessible to them, these units will always be members of clans. Currently there are 28 plots for the player to discover and they are all unlocked by first finding them naturally and them opening up the plot window. Sometimes the player may not be able to force plots onto units if certain conditions are not fulfilled. When forcing a unit to start a plot units will receive the File:IconVoicesInMyHead10x.png"Voices in My Head" status for 170 seconds that subtracts their diplomacy and opinion of other kingdoms by 5.

Starting Plots (Important)

• Plots require their initiators to have at least 2 of each civil stat unless stated otherwise for a specific stat (warfare, diplomacy, stewardship, intelligence)
• Sometimes plots will show up as force-able even though they aren't (when plots are in full color the player may be able to initiate them but they will cancel instantly if all conditions aren't met in some cases)
• "Initiator" means the unit that starts and finishes a plot
• Supreme Kingdom and Power: The kingdom with the highest amount of power among all kingdoms is a supreme kingdom. Power is calculated by, (Soldiers x 2) + (Cities x 5) + 1
• File:IconLevels10x2.png= Minimum unit level needed, File:IconMoney10x.png= Money cost, = Minimum kingdom renown needed, "(main force condition)" = The main condition required to force a unit to start a plot,File:IconClock10x.png= Progress needed to complete the plot
