Goeben event

[Marquee]

Whenever I've played the game as the CPs and receive the Goeben event, I only have one choice available: Send it to Constantinople. In the manual, though, it says there is a choice to send it to Constantinople or to refuse (Goeben goes to Pola/Austria). Do others have two choices on this event or just one like I do?

[Winfield S. Hancock]

I have only ever seen the Constantinople option myself, and wondered why as well. Looking forward to getting the real scoop on this one.

Not exactly two options, but an alternative event (Refuge to Pola) if the first one cannot occur. But indeed I never saw the "Refuge to Pola" event occurring, so perhaps there's something wrong to check.

[Syt]

What's the condition of the alternate event? England deciding to deliver the ships that the Turks have ordered?

[PhilThib]

The condition (normally) is when Turkey is much much closer to the Entente and closes the Dardanelles to Central Powers

That means:
-1 if "England delivers Sultan Selim and Reshadieh battleships to Turkey" event has occurred and England has decided to send the ships to Turkey.
+1 if "The Kaiser's gold to Turkey" event has occurred and Germany decided to send the gold to the Ottomans

That means if the "Goeben takes refuge in Constantinople" has not taken place...

[Tamas]

But that is wrong! You have no choice with the Constaninople event.

[calvinus]

In fact there are two events, not one with two choices.

[Marquee]

So this event is working properly? We're not supposed to have any choice in the matter?

[calvinus]

The principle is: the game engine should first check the "Refuge to Constantinople" event, then the "Refuge to Pola" (that can occurr only if the first one has not occurred). Now the problem is that the first one seems occurring always. I guess it must be investigated.

[calvinus]

Events double-checked. I added something in the code to "help", but not only these mandatory events...
