This Idea come from a discussion I had about Endless Legend late game on forum, and someone saying to me it miss some gamebreaking events with potential to reverse a game. And also after to play a little Age of Wonder 3, I saw events like that.

Idea is to create some special event able to break an eventual snowball effect, or nerf a player too far above others.

In this case, it's not a normal event showing a popup, but an special event you can see on the galaxy map, affecting all the galaxy, all players, and more specificaly players too strongs.

- It can be an alien invasion from another galaxy, then, players will have to protect hard their system, as these alien will not conquer but destroy all they see.

- It can be a cosmic cataclysm, like a quantic disorder making massive supernovas everywhere, damaging strongly many system.

- It can be a multiform and multirace adaptative genetic disease spreading in the galaxy, killing populations massively.

- It can be an cosmic entity acting like a big boss, or anything else.

As Jhell mentioned, we have the Academy Quest. We hope that the impact it has on the availability of heroes and the fact that battles on lodestones ignore alliances should shake up the state of the galaxy.

Something to make a late game look more like a mid game. I like it!

There have to be more late-game events. In order to be meaningful and not ignored by players then the events should be capable of shaking up even a late-game empire. Not necessarily crises but they should have major effects.

I would also suggest that the trigger for these end-game events should not be simply tied to the turn timer.

Examples:

Galactic Trade Covenant

Trigger: every faction in the galaxy has unlocked the Trade technology and every faction has discovered every other faction.

Effect: all factions are allowed to join the GTC and gain a bonus to trade, all militarist parties in all factions lose support (warmongers can't convince the population to attack trade partners), all industrialist parties in all factions gain support (due to economic growth), each Faction gains a major Approval bonus/malus (as native populations love/hate globalisation)...

Grand Alliance

Trigger: when a faction commits too many atrocities (exterminates Minor/Major factions, conscripts too many of its own population, blows up civilian ships...).

Effect: Remaining factions joint up against the aggressive empire.

Coalition of Unaligned Systems

Trigger: If by turn X (late-game), 3 or more Minor Factions remain independent and their start-system uncolonised. Effect: the Minor Factions ally with each other and basically become a unique Major Faction.
