Hello all Masters of the Wiki!

I took a short look to the modding section.
I was not brave enough to edit anything in the Wiki by myself since I would mess everything up for sure...

Event structure

SelectFaction
SelectRegion (not required)
StartEvent
Conditions
1 or more conditions
Actions
1 or more actions
EndEvent

The keywords [font="Courier New"]SelectFaction[/font] and [font="Courier New"]Select Region[/font] don't have to be written before the [font="Courier New"]StartEvent[/font]. Actually it might be more clear if they are set in the [font="Courier New"]Action[/font] section, before the commands which require a selected region/faction.

An event does not have to contain conditions or actions. An event without conditions is for example the scenario setup. Events without actions might be used as a kind of counter, there another event checks how often the 'counter-event' have fired.

Replacement

Replacement = Faction]
Thanks for correcting the typo, but the keyword is in fact [font="Courier New"]Remplacement[/font] (which is the French word). (Unless it was changed recently....)

Cheers

You are right. But I adjusted the code so that both the initial typo and the legit spelling are supported now.

Well, you really shouldn't be afraid, 'cause:
- Wiki editing is basically raw text editing, with some extra, non-complicated, stuff for marking headers, bullet-lists and suchlike.
- You can preview any changes you make before committing them
- I'm happy to answer any and all questions you have about editing. MSN/YM are good ways of getting in touch with me.
- There's also an online manual with examples and suchlike, available from the editing page
- If, by some weird way, you really screw up the article, I have the power to revert *all* changes you have done to an article. Usually I only need to do this when vandals come around.

That said, I have no problem respecting a reluctance to eidt the wiki. E.g. in your case, you have provided quite a lot info hereabouts, enough to keep me busy for some time (especially considering my current work schedule )
