Post Patch: Mega Events - Thoughts?

March 4, 2007 10:04:13 AM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Though I am not 100% what is a mega event and what is not, I will post my thoughts.

Pirates - they come in now with lower logistics and lower weapons. I liked them. They screwed with everyone. Actually, they screwed with the Dominion of Korx more than me. My fleet was stronger than theirs so they left me alone, but where they saw smaller weaker ships (Korx at the time) they attacked them and KEPT attacking them.

Peacekeepers - actually went by their namesake: they keep the peace somewhat. Like the pirates, they had lower logistics and lower weapons, BUT they were scattered all over the place. There were as many planets as there were P.K. ships. This last part may have been a bug, but they were in minor fleets and had the "big ship" icons. Then I saved and went to bed. I woke up and loaded the saved game and every large ship P.K. turned into the smaller icon (like survey ships) and then in one turn they all dissapeared. I don't know if this was to happen like that.

Assassinations - I kinda don't like this one. In this game the Altarians have gone to war with me for this twice. The first time they ended things. This 2nd time is at a time when I am already at war with the Korx. Thing is, the Altarians were my allies!!! But the really bad thing is that they are supplied (as it says) by an unseen group. This unseen group gave them tiny weak ship but they are all over the place!!! I am going to say that this mega event hurts the immersion, mainly because it ignores current relations with the Altarians, whom I was also trading with.

Anyone else have opinions?

One other thing, I now notice that when I move to take an enemy, it doesn't always hit. Like I didn't hit the icon. But it's not because I don't have any moves left. I have plenty and I can move very far into space.

Assassinations aren't mega events, they've been in the game since DL.

I've not actually seen a single mega-event since the patch. I don't have them turned off, one simply hasn't come up. Even pre-patch, in 12 games, I never saw the pirates or peacekeepers, I just got the Dread Lords popping up and prompptly getting eaten. Brad mentioned he'd buffed the Dread Lords a bit in the patch, so I'm hoping that the next time they turn up they'll actually be a threat.

Knownalien;

here is a list of mega events, and what tehy do:
MEGA EVENT LIST

I've had the Alliance and Pirate war in the same game.
Alliance wasn't bad, as only 3 of the 4 races I had been in contact with actually declared war wiht me. Of them only 2 were in range and I had almost beaten the one.
The pirates totally hurt me though (and everone else). I was leading the weapons race pumping out ships that were 9/4 and the pirates came in with 56/21!
The only thing that stopped them was the fact that they couldn't take out my last starbase (lost the other 4 though).
