Administrators Alex Posted September 25, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 25, 2015 I don't need anything too crazy here, just looking for suggestions for a potential events system. These would be random happenings that could affect your nation, a region (continent), or the world. Some possibilities are: Earthquake Volcanic Eruption Sinkhole Tsunami Wildfire Drought Alien Invasion Zombie Apocalypse Celebrity Kidnapping These are just a few ideas off the top of my head. Obviously any/all natural disasters are a go-to, and you're free to post those, just try not to get too repetitive with what others have posted. Lastly, they don't have to be "real" (as in my Zombie Apocalypse idea) but don't get too silly with these things. A Zombie Apocalypse event would probably be a Halloween type thing, as a sort of holiday themed joke/fun event, etc. Eventually I'd like to create the engine for events to operate on, and browse through this topic and pick through all of your ideas to make as events! The effects (good or bad) will be decided later, so just try to come up with event ideas. Have at it! 5 Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

You're setting the bar really, really low there Celebrity Kidnapping was something that I imagine would've been simply a national event. It was just a thought as well, nothing set in stone.

Ekejen Luish Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Event idea: The two most powerful nations in the world are each given one hydrogen bomb. They then are forced to declare war on each other by Sheepy, and peace cannot be achieved (it must expire or one side must beat the other side).

Also, please make these events extremely uncommon if you do decide to implement them. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caecus Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Crop failure (Blight) Bountiful harvest 1 Quote It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it. But I don't enjoy playing. It was a game that was born during a brutal age when life counted for little. Everyone believed that some people were worth more than others. Kings. Pawns. I don't think that anyone is worth more than anyone else. Chess is just a game. Real people are not pieces. You can't assign more value to some of them and not others. Not to me. Not to anyone. People are not a thing that you can sacrifice. The lesson is, if anyone who looks on to the world as if it was a game of chess, deserves to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caecus Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 One of my favorite games of all time (unfortunately, haven't played it in a really long time) is Heroes of Might and Magic. In the latest installment, the game has a list of weekly events which randomly affect combat and growth. Here is a full list: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/563124-Week-of-list-complete-in-order-with-effects-Forums But, taking inspiration from that, here are some things that I thought of: 1. Festival season (-X% income) 2. Discovery of new coal/bauxite/primary resource vein (+X% production of raw resources) I am particularly interested in the potential in affecting combat, so here are some other stuff: 1. Snowstorm (Tank Fuel Consumption +X%) [perhaps only during winter months?] 2. Heavy Rains (Aircraft damage -X%/Missile Damage -X%) 3. Rough Waves (Ship Fuel Consumption +X%) 4. Heavy Mist (Ship damage -X%) 5. Sandstorm (Soldier/Tank damage -X%) And I think this could be universally applied, so instead of just as a national event, perhaps make it a continental one? I think it might make people mix things up a little when it comes to combat. 2 Quote It's a useful mental exercise. Through the years, many thinkers have been fascinated by it.
