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" 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 years to complete. Players can also cancel plots by either killing the unit plotting or by using the divine light 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 village leaders will not start a plot if they are actively fighting. Kings will attempt plots in this order: Join Alliance -> Create Alliance -> Dissolve Alliance -> War -> Peace Talks.

Trivia

• Plots were added in version 0.21.0.
• The changelogs mention poisoning kings despite this feature not being implemented yet: "added: new plots/plans mechanic. Clan members could have plans to start wars, poison their kings, create alliances, etc. But their plans and plots could also be broken when they die"
