What is this mod?



This mod is going to be designed so that you can get a huge array of events, from natural disasters to anything else you can imagine. We are going to combine all modders talents and put all the seperate events mods for BtS and put them into one super mod.​




__________________________________________________​



What do we hope to achieve


We hope to achieve the best events mod so you can have the most enjoyment. We also are going make this mod a split mod type which lets us have multiple mod downloads but you can add them all together at home, this will allow you to download part of it if you have dial up or slow broadband, we believe that the events which have no graphics shouldn't be to hard to download, also we are doing this so you can download the mods you want and mix and match, or have them all.​

How can you help?



Do you want to help? It isn't very hard, all you have to do is post here that you want to help then make a event or 2, then post it here and i'll attach it to the mod, i'm hoping that as many people as possible will want to help make some events so that people will get a better expierence. Or you can help decide what each event does, and make the most comprehensive events mod out there!​

you know, at the BtS chat, they said that the events will be moddable through XML. so it should be a snap. i just wonder how much elbow space they give, and how many different xml's will be referenced.

i plan on custom events for second revolution 3.0
 
How about Meteors? They randomly appear ounce in awhile and it's random where they can land. They can land on the Sea. They can land on a tile improvement and destroy the improvement or they can land on cities and destroy a city improvement like a library or a theater.
 
Theirs also a Modular xml Loading system *wink* so you can create separate little packages for each Event and let people mix and match them as they like, it also makes for faster/easier downloading.
