Can we get Events back?

And maybe an option to choose frequency?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I've noticed and am disappointed how alignment events seem to have disappeared. Even Lucky Rangers.

My last game I played for 12 years and had a whopping one (1) event. The one with the plague.

And one game I am in it's been five (5) game years and still no events.

Now occasionally I get a econ bonus or recession, or xenophobic, but not NEAR as much as 1.0x.

I miss both. But I would like an option to determine the frequency of them occurring. Sometimes they annoy me. But sometimes the whole assasination, or free meteorite metals really livens things up.

Both the alignment ones and the regular galactic events.

Hard to say though in the last couple of games I've played with the new release I've had random events occur. They did tone down the bonuses you get from the ethical questions. Nothing in the patch notes says they did anything to the event code other then changing the min years for a Ranger type ship to appear. Maybe that tweak did something unexpected to the rest of the events too.

*shrugs* i've noticed a drop in occurances as well, Since 1.1. No Meteor one, no Rangers, and i think maybe ONE assination. But then even before 1.1 i've never see a Meteor one so i dunno..

I'd love options to change event frequency. Out of my last 3-4 games, I only saw something like 1-2 ethical questions per a game and just about none of the other events.

I hadn't noticed the lack of Rangers until you mentioned it. My first few games I used to get them all the time!

You should be happy!


Btw. second that motion for an option to increase or decrease amount of random events. Me loves options. Shiny tiny options buttons. Luve them.

Lol Vandenburg. I like shiny things too, hehe. And I agree, an option for their frequency of occurence would be a welcome one.

Cheers

In my current game, which is my first after 1.1 - i did play all the betas - i didnt get any event during colonization or until now in year 5, quite odd i think.

At one point there were far to many, but now they are far too few it seems. I am only getting colonization events, none of the other fun ones.

I welcome the possibility of increasing their frequences.

I want a slider!

I miss the good ol' days when random events were commonplace. They were some much fun and I barely got to see any before upgrading to v1.1.

I also have a tendancy to pick an alignment rather early - and have noticed an over all reduction in events (besides econ/influence) in general.

what would be nice is a dozen or so more event types along with an option to adjust the frequency - can even attempt to tailor them by alignment types giving bonus's / drawbacks for each .
