Outcomes
A 3-sided die rolls when the mission completes; results are weighted as shown. Subject character ratings (e.g., Wisdom on Steal Research) shift the roll.

Your gambling has led to an event...
Base is the flat reward; per City values stack with the size of your empire (see Reward scaling below). The subject's character rating shifts the dice — e.g. Wisdom raises the Steal Research success chance — but does not change the yield amounts.
Reward scaling
The base reward is 390 Money plus 10 Money per cities, so it grows with your empire. The game then scales it up further as the match goes on (a turn/price multiplier that depends on game state, the same in both modes). Competitive Mode does not change mission rewards.
| Your cities | 1 | 3 | 6 | 10 | 15 |

 Money reward
| +400 | +420 | +450 | +490 | +540 |
Reward at base game-yield rate (turns 0–60). After turn 60 the reward grows in proportion to the turn number.

Events
⚠ Story weights are not in-game odds. Each story is gated by character/empire conditions (some hidden), so real frequency is filtered in ways the XML can't predict. The weight is the raw XML knob, not a probability.
33% of the time (a 1/3 dice
result) the mission fires an event instead of its normal reward — then one of the
5 stories below is drawn, and you pick a response.
Bracketed values like [character] are filled in with the actual names in-game.
