These would be crazy, unbalancing, optional, random events that would slam your well laid-out game against the wall. Like:
</p><ol><li>Allied War. Three of the 9 players who are already friendly decide to ally together and declare war on everyone else.</li><li>Plague. A space plague that will gradually wipe everyone out unless a particular research item is found.</li><li>Culture Shock. A particular alien civilization gets their influence boosted by 10X and players have to decide how to combat it.</li><li>Ultimate Doom. A particular civilization is getting their abilities increased by 1% each week (turn). Eventually they'd be gods. What is to be done?</li><li>A horde of space pirates begin wiping out the defenses of each race.</li></ol>As long as they're optional, I can't imagine that any GalCiv2 player wouldn't want a taste of that. Players that are already bored of the game, and there's quite a few at this point, would be eager to re-install. I just hope they add a "Naked Chicken Apocalypse" option for the truly hardcore.<p>Spotted @ <a href="http://www.galciv2.com">Galciv Official Page</a></p>
