Wasted Random Event

February 12, 2003 4:08 PM from

I noted in the game I am currently playing that 1 of the other Civs got lucky with a Random Event that increased the class of all the planets in a colonised star system. When I found that star system, I found that there was only 1 planet, and so the Random Event was wasted. I think that some sort of check needs to be inserted into this Random Event to ensure that the chosen star system has multiple planets.

Meh. That's how random things *should* work. IMHO random things should really be f*e*a*r*e*d, as they will be 50% bad, 50% good, and 50% effective and 50% waisted. Else the game becomes ... well, predicitable. They don't call it the "Fear of God" for nothing, even though He is supposed to be merciful and loving...

Well, that wasn't totally wasted was it? That one planet got an increased class (I haven't come across that event, so I may misunderstand).

However, I've seen things like a cease-fire vote when no one seems to be at war (though I don't always know what minor civs are up to). I've wondered whether that is really happening. That seems like a pointless thing for the UP to vote on if it doesn't apply.

Jotun, no the event was totally wasted as it applied to all other planets in the system - only the chosen system had no other planets. :notsure:
