The obvious differences (to me, maybe there are more) : Turn based movement. I have not yet seen a high/cat event at homeplanets in the longterm batch sims (simultaneous movement). It does not mean, the events are excluded in simoultaneous, but I tend to think, there is something that makes these events happen extremely infrequent in simultaneous games.

Also to consider and for what this information may be worth as value since this is Theory at its lowest form.

Please consider that moving the Events up and down the list may alter the Event routines.

For example: with the Original Default se4 Event file shuffle the highlighted out of that order in the events and see if the frequency routines does not change for that or another event. But the event that you had frequent before the shuffle, you may be surprised it is no longer as frequant.

Now also to please consider, by removing or moving any events from a file may yield a very different result from the Last run.

Alss to note: MM does not conform to the severity ORDER...
