Policy Events

Policy Events are random Agency events based on the Policy chosen.

See also: Calendar § Important_Dates, and Secrets

Event intervals

A Policy must be selected for Policy Events to take place in an Agency. With the exception of Incorporate and Disaster Relief, the interval between policy events depends on how many agencies are simultaneously on that same policy, with the sharpest increase when going from 1 to 2.

Nb	Average Interval (days)
1	20.0
2	28.6
3	33.3
4	36.4
5	38.5
6	40.0
7	41.2
8	42.1
9	42.9
10	43.5
11	44.0

The duration varies between +/- 30% of the average, and it's also possible to get shorter intervals by inadvertently triggering a bug known as the Focus tech.

Watch

You can have "Watch" toggled in one of your Agencies at a time. It causes the Agency to consume twice the resources, but doubles the rate at which events occur. This is useful for accumulating Disaster Relief contribution.

Actions for handling Events

Policy events consist of story and require the player to handle these events by selecting one of the actions. Based on the selected action, different outcomes happen.

The actions for handling events are always the same and are listed in the following table:

Method	Description
No action	Do nothing or let the time run out
Social	Using social skills to solve problems sometimes can gain appeal or influence.
Battle	Use "Machismo", roughhousery, or aggression. Basically be a "macho man", and assert your dominance.
CHA	Appeal to others.
INT	Debate or prank.
Food	Give others food.
Spirit-Stone	Use spirit stones. Most mortals do not know about spirit stones. Spirit stones resonate with Qi in finding rare treasure.
Wood	Give others wood, or pick up a wood stick.
Stones	Give others stones, or pick up a brick.
Disciple	Send all disciples, or disciples with a special trait to solve the problem. Manpower for excavating treasure.

Event Outcome

The outcome of events affect belief^?

Disaster Relief

You can choose the disaster relief policy when a disaster occurs in your agency. The amount of disaster relief is dependent upon the option chosen and the number of agency members present in the agency:

• +: 40 disaster relief
• ++: 75
• +++: 150

This base number is then multiplied by $\frac{10 + agencyMembers}{16}$, rounded up, where the Abbot doesn't count as a member.

Policy: Disaster Relief
Event	Action	Aid	Pop.
[NAME] decided to deal with the cold wave.	No Action Fight	+

Manual Labor

When the Manual Labor option is chosen, random events occur which allow the production of a large amount of resources from the agency, corresponding to its normal production items. Manual Labor events will always succeed. The event always has the same title and text:

• Manual Labor: It was a fine day. [NAME] decided to supervise labor.

The drop amount is calculated by the following for each unlocked and completed sub-region within the agency:

1. The relevant Statistic is divided by 14 (for Farming or Mining) or incremented by 10 and then divided by 16 (for Disciples). If this number is below 1, it is set to 1.
2. It is multiplied with a random number between Min and Max (inclusive)
3. Rounded up to the nearest whole number.

For example, performing Manual Labor in Wild South (two Wood sub-regions completed) with 30 Disciples will result in a minimum of 1250 and maximum of 1875 Wood generated.

Policy: Manual Labor		Drops
Sub-region Product	Statistic	Min	Max
Wheat	Farming	334	500
Wood	Disciples	250	375
Brownstone	Mining	250	375
Spirit Stone	Mining	334	500

Treasure Hunt

When the Treasure Hunt option is chosen, random events occur which allow the production of resources from the agency corresponding to the items in the Treasure section of the agency. In order for all Treasure Hunt options to be unlocked, all areas within the agency must have their respective buildings constructed.

The event always has the same title and text:

• Treasure Hunt: [NAME] made a divination and decided to take his disciples on a treasure hunt.

Treasure Hunt events require the player to pick an option. Picking options that do not correspond to an item type in the list, picking an option before constructing the required area within the agency, or picking an option while not meeting the minimum Intelligence requirement for that option, results in no items being obtained.

The drop amount is calculated by the following:

1. The relevant Statistic is divided by 14 (for Farming or Mining) or incremented by 10 and then divided by 16 (for Disciples). If this number is below 1, it is set to 1.
2. It is multiplied with a random whole number between Min and Max (inclusive)
3. Rounded up to the nearest whole number.

For example, a treasure hunt in Central Plain, using Spirit Stones, with an INT of 12 and Mining level of 55, will generate either 4 or 7 Holy Stones.

Having additional Intelligence does not change the number of products obtained, only the specified Statistic matters.

Policy: Treasure Hunting						Drops
Agency	Location	Action	Requirement	Statistic	Item	Min	Max
Mt. South	Mt. FullMoon	Disciples		Mining	Iron Ore	42	63
	Mt. Coppertomb	Battle	INT >= 7	Mining	Stone Essence	42	63
	Mt. Barren	Spirit Stones	INT >= 7	Mining	Red Ginseng	17	25

	Village of Dunes	Battle		Disciples	Beast Blood	9	12

Central Plain	Mt. Cloudsreach	Wood	INT >= 7	Mining	Cinnabar	42	63
	Mt. Mesa	Spirit Stones	INT >= 11	Mining	Holy Stone	1	2

Miracle

The Miracle is unlocked when a  Shendao Cultivator builds a Statue in the agency. It only has one event:

• Miracle: Agent [NAME] decided that today was a good day to let Shendao disciples perform a miracle here.

The only positive outcome is with the "Disciple" choice: It will increase the Shendao Cultivators's residents by $300 + \frac{1.05 \pm 0.15 }{50}*Followers$. It does not reduce your Followers or the Agency's population however.
