Invasion! Beta Discussion

[Paul1980au]

Wombat combat ? can you explain what each of these events has in terms of impacts in the game - is there a way to just have the events file for download (i would like to cimbine it with the eye candy events patch)

What does reverse gravity do ?

shouldn't a beer festival also lower productivity?

i don't know if you could do that, though.

[Fyron]

Population Change is a flat number, not a percentage, so that Reverse Gravity event will kill 95 M people every time.

Sadly, events can only have one effect.

[gregebowman]

Is this available for download, or are you just teasing us?

[Combat Wombat]

Beta 0.28 of Invasion! Isn't complete yet the list below is what I have changed so far since the Last patch. I don't like to give release dates because stuff always messes them up but I except to be done with 0.28 by the weekend if not sooner. Alot of components need to be rebalanced because of the leaky armor and leaky shields for it to work realistically.
