How do you feel about developing playable senerios ((Mod+Savegame+Senerio)) downloadable combos.

I responded to Ceyan briefly the other day about his desire for playable senerios. And I gave it a little thought.
I would be interested in what you guys and gals think about this.
I feel senerios could be done with GalCiv; with maybe a little code changing or maybe no code change. And I plan to look into it at a later date. By then someone might already have a senerio builer finished by then. I am not a programer. So I am a novice at this. I would suspect something along these lines would need to be done.
You download, and load a MOD & MATCHING SAVEGAME. This has the set up of AI already populated a curtain amount and the MORALITY INTELLEGENCE is told to the player. This save game simply being a game played up to the desirable situation is in place. The mission would not be the normal mission win goals but to simply achieve curtain task. Most likely to help a loosing GOOD AI out of a almost impossible situation. BIK videos could be triggered for the start and end of the senerio. The BIKs already in the game could be triggered. Or the MOD could supply it's own.
A. 100 % chance EVENT happens at turn 1. Setup BIK is displayed.
B. 100 % chance EVENT happens at turn 15. Etc.
C. 100 % chance EVENT happens at turn 25 ONLY IF TASK is accomplished.
D. 100 % chance EVENT happens at turn 26 ONLY IF TASK is NOT accomplished.
A. - D. Type events exicuted along simular path.
Y. - Z. Same as C & D except final prose and end BIK for success or failure.
So, what do you think?
