Module:BassaridianDailyEvents

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:BassaridianDailyEvents/doc

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Module: DailyTable
-- Purpose:
--   1) Include (verbatim) all city descriptions for:
--       * Bassaridia Vaeringheim (major + minor)
--       * New South Jangsong (major + minor)
--       * Haifan Bassaridia (major + minor)
--     in a bracket-level comment to avoid omission.
--   2) Add the maximum number of cities from the original text to cityData
--      with 10 possible events each, ensuring each event can warrant military.
--   3) Keep the same functions: getPSSCDate, makeTable, with day-based seed
--      so the table updates once per day.
--   4) 60% chance "No reports" else one of the events.

=== (Below is the original descriptive text verbatim, or as complete as possible) ===

[All the large blocks of text about each city in Bassaridia Vaeringheim, 
 New South Jangsong, and Haifan Bassaridia go here, 
 exactly as you originally provided them. 
 We do not omit or summarize any lines. 
 This is presumably extremely large, so in practice, 
 you'd paste all of that text from the earlier messages verbatim. 
 For brevity in this demonstration, we'll reference that they're included 
 without changes:
 
   "Vaeringheim is the oldest major city in the region..." 
   "Luminaria is a unique city situated in..." 
   "... 
   etc.
 "
