That it might become canon.

Yes, yes and .... YES. Anything to increase replayability and add flavour to the games is more than welcome.

Exactly what I think about random events !

Our direction so far, is to have random events, that could be impacting either everyone in the same fashion or one single empire, but for something less drastic.



Regarding the random events affecting everyone, it is more about changing the game dynamics for a limited amount of time, rather than doing something that will drastically change the game in a way that no player's action can control.



Hopefully we can have events that will add a variety of challenge without destroying your enjoyment ("sorry it looks like your system disappeared in a super nova..." nooooooo... )



And most definitely we need to have an option to play with or without random events.

Ofcourse not... The endless really just come from our current planet. Bolivians will take control and everyone will become addicted to cocaine... with the current technology development nanotech will still be possible and with the japanese fetish for mechas there will be mecha-cocaine... more commonly known as dust... every time you breath you get some and hence a bill from the bolivians....

True story!

well it should be posibel to turn off especaly in multiplayer

Yeah, I'm a big fan of the random event. I think GalCiv2 did a good job with this one, but in the area of multiplayer, I agree with what the devs have stated in this thread. Limited and not particularly game-ending.

Random events would definitely be nice, but they need to be well thought out and integrated with the playing experience. I've done plenty of "Oh lawds, better go run this pointless fetch quest that has a timer on it" things, or "Well, I guess I'm doing this thing now, the game can wait". They should either be trivial enough to not interrupt game play, or have enough reward weight on them to make me want to do that random thing.



In my head, something akin to the feel of CIV4's random quests and random events are what I dig. Small stuff like a city(planet) getting some extra income from parrots or some crap, or loosing production due to clunker coal. Interesting and add flavor, but not ruining my day. Alternatively, quests that have some set long term goals and requirements, those have some serious benefits to being attended to.



Long story short, they add alot of depth and flavor to a play-though, and these days that's hard enough to come by. Either do it right, or leave it out.

well read the back ground you don need to smell the bots
