To all who are playing the P&Nv2 HomeComing Scenario

"as a side note, i have a good idea why your sun is exploding. over half the other races are LUCKY! of course you are getting the bad events!"

In other words.. save and reload until he got the event he wanted? Eeeach.

my GOD, i never said anything of the kind! how did you come up with that through my perfectly innoculous statement? i simply ment that if an event is going to happen on a turn, odds are its not going to happen to the races with the LUCKY trait, so its probably going to filter on down to the unlucky ones. and when you count the number of lucky races in the game, you see how drastically increased your chance for bad events would be. it was just an idle observation. jeeze, who said anything about saving and reloading?

Think about it. The event will ALWAYS happen, on the same turn, every time you play the scenerio. Which means (barring somehow getting the "unstable star" ability to work) that he had to set things up, and keep advancing the clock (with everyone set to human control and not doing anything) until he got the event he wanted. Not quite save/reload/repeat, but similar..

Hey, woah there. You are assuming a bit much. If you want to know, this is what happened:

- I decide to play a game as a neutral empire.
- I build up my empire with the "neutral" restriction in mind: Ship capture tech first, then monoliths and nature shrines. Organic + Crystalline level 1 for the crossover tech.
- Many battles at warppoints and planets, while I build up planet creation tech and look into Atmosphere converters.
- Message: Plasma instability.
- I think "Crud. There goes my game"
- The next day, I think "Hey, this would be a cool scenario!"
- I write up my vision of the empire in the "minister meeting" for the first turn, and package it all into a scenario.
- I upload it, you guys download it, and play!

I saved the scenario after the event happened naturally.
