ThreatenBonus - Flat bonus to give to this goal if an associated threat has been given

The bonus to the goal of this entry in the goals.txt is given to the civilization who just made threat or for the one that was threatened?

-Thanks in advance

I can't answer the question directly, but i don't think i've ever seen an AI change it's stance after you threaten them - i use it just to justify to myself that they had it coming!?

I've seen the threat of declaring war work and I wasn't even much ahead of the AI. It was however a vanilla game. Never ever have I seen threatening work in the mods.

This ThreatenBonus doesn't have anything to do with diplomatic threats, it's based on military/geographic threats. Check out 'How does the AI task it's units'; there's a link in the Resources For Modmakers thread.

There is two similar stuff:

Code:

GOAL_INCITE_REVOLUTION {
  AvoidWatchfulCity

  SquadClass:Special

  TargetType:City

  TargetOwner:HotEnemy
  TargetOwner:ColdEnemy
  TargetOwner:Neutral

  Execute	ORDER_INCITE_REVOLUTION

  ThreatBonus			  250
  EnemyValueBonus		  500 
  AlliedValueBonus		 -100
  PowerBonus			 1000 
  DistanceToHomeBonus		    0
  DistanceToEnemyBonus		    0
  ChokePointBonus		10000
  UnexploredBonus	      -999999
  ObsoleteArmyBonus		    0
  TreaspassingArmyBonus		 5000

  ThreatenType:DestroyCity
  ThreatenBonus 20000

  ForceMatch:Special
}

There is the

Code:

  ThreatBonus			  250

and the

Code:

  ThreatenType:DestroyCity
  ThreatenBonus 20000

And i mean the last one. In your document you tslk about the first.

Sorry, I should read more carefully.

The bonus will be given to the AI civ that made the threat. So if it's threatened to destroy a city then all it's goals with the DestroyCity flag will get a bonus. I never noticed that before, it's pretty neat.
