[Theenglishguru]

In my opinion, It's people like you that should develop the ideas for games - That's an immense idea, It could be incorporated into a mod if the dev team miss it.

Heh,

 

Yes!

 

(grin and takes a bow)

 

Thank you. The stuff I`ve thought of is simply a continuation of the random event mechanics already in EAW. I think its a great means by which one can add a great deal of variety and flavour to any given Galactic Conquest game. Many many things are possible.

 

I do what comes naturally.

[Darth Anarch]

Those look like excellent ideas to me. I would love to see some more random events in the game. It would also be great if they could be spread out a little more; I've only seen them appear at the very beginning of a Galactic Conquest game, and there are too few of them.

[wedge2211]

With the mod tools out now, can't these be added into the LUA scripts in a mod?

[WarlokLord]

REBEL or IMPERIAL

 

Diplomatic Entanglements

10% - Rare

 

Diplomacy is called for here. Deal with the circumstances as quickly as you can.

 

(no major Hero in 'x' system may leave that system for 'x' period of time)

[scorpx]

how about "death commandos" vader has seen to reward you if you can free up the commandoes by conquering the planet on which they have been deployed vader will assign you X noghri(sorry i if can't spell it right)

[wedge2211]

Or what about a "leadership crisis," where Hero X must move to Planet Y?

[PoiuyWired]

Nah that would not be reasonable, and random events are usually either optional (you get bonus should you choose to do it), or have little impact on the game if untreated.

 

Its almost as bad as "Emperor died of a splintered toe nail, you lose" as a random event.

[Solid Snake]

i dont like the Z-95 thing for the rebs cuz Z-95s suck

[Darth Anarch]

Yes, the Z-95 isn't a particularly good unit, but if you were given say 3-5 squadrons early on in the game they could be very useful without being overpowering.
