Hey buddies.
Since tomorrow will be the day of apocalypse, this gave a idea that can turn into a mod or scenario.
Well, I'm no good at programming anything, so I'll just say what i'm thinking and let you guys do what needs to be done to it come alive.
The idea was to be a normal game, until at a set time (could be 21 December, 2012), aliens invade the planet.
Could be a meteor crash with those bastards inside and they start building cities and units right away, killing and conquering with their vast superior technology, or they come with UFOs and start bombarding everything in their way.
The idea is that before they come, it feels like a regular game, with players fighting and killing each other, and when the aliens comes, it would be just like if they would come in the real world. After the set date, they invade and the objective of the game would be to survive the invasion or try to repel them.
I don't know about new technologies, would be more dramatic if we have to fight with human technology only, or there could be new techs that have huge science cost (so it couldn't be researched before they comes), or even a event unlocking them (doable?), like when a player manages to kill the first alien unit or when they arrive (or before, like the date of Roswell incident), or even a wonder at one of the lasts techs that unlocks the player to research alien tech or that reduces the ammount of research needed to discover it.
Well, this is just a sketch of the idea. Hope it catches someone's attention and come to life. Since I know little about modding and it's limits, feel free to use the idea and adapt it.
