      V15:

      • Changed how lockout works. When for example defences are locked they are actually removed from the build menu, so there is no "way around" to still build them

      • New Mode: "Voting" and "Voting + no repeat"

      With Voting enabled, 15 seconds before an event starts everyone gets a popup to vote for the next event!

      Votes are counted in the background and you will see which event got selected with how many votes. On draw, one of them gets selected at random. 1 seconds before the next event starts, the voting window will automatically disappear in case you didn't vote, otherwise it disappears when voting for one of them.
      (Clicking I don't care forfeits your vote)
      As you can read in the small text "Targets are locked in now - destroying your own units will not dodge the result" there is no "exploit" to not lose your units to the enemy. The moment the popup appears, the mod saves your current units and if you should self destruct them, the event still triggers for them!

        Could the numbers also be randomized?

        I think it may be fun to have a regular mode with standard values, and a separate "Chaos" mode where the numbers can vary much more.

          Yes, but it kind of depends what the goal is. I feel like I set everything to have a decent / big impact. If you randomize and go in 2 different directions I feel likes its either not as interesting because it was nerfed or way too brutal.

          BUT I was thinking of doing a separate mod that is essentially this popup (like roguelike) choose 1 of 3 stat modifiers with different rarities. But not sure!

            Having 3 events pop up and everyone vote for what event to get would be funny. In a tie have both of them appear at once!

              What do you mean? Isnt that what I implemented? Except with the tie causing both to happen

                  V16 with some bugfixes / changes!

                  • Commanders copied from "your acu had a child" now also copies upgrades
                  • Commanders inherited from "soul harvest" (killed enemy commanders) now also keep upgrades
                  • Fixed the bug where units sometimes spawn underground or in a weird way when transforming
                  • Fixed income buff being reset after making mass storage for adjacency on mex

                      And since I have been working on another update in parallel to the previous one, here is V17. I did get 1-2 messages saying that the normal stat changes events could be a bit lame, so I decided to make more "special events":

                      Changes:

                      • The event that take mass from the richest and gives to the poorest player now announces who got mass from who
                      • The event that locks controls for 20 seconds now has a secondary announcement when controls are "free" again

                      Additions:

                      • Martyrdom (duration) - Units explode on death, damaging friend and foe alike. Damage and AoE scale with tech level
                      • Static Storm (duration) - Any unit standing still for 3+ seconds takes 5% of its max HP per second until it moves. ACUs and buildings are safe.
                      • Buy One Get Two (duration) - Every unit a factory builds comes out twice. (Experimentals are not doubled)
                      • Mass Production (duration) - Units up to T3 cost 50% less and build twice as fast.
                      • You Are What You Kill (duration) - Units transform into whatever unit they kill. Only unit-vs-unit kills count - killing buildings does nothing, and structures and commanders never transform.
                      • Mitosis (duration) - Dying units split into two random units one tier lower in the same domain (T3 → two T2s, T2 → two T1s, T1 → nothing).
                      • Roulette Factory (duration) - Factories produce a random unit of the ordered tier and domain instead of what was queued.
                      • Cell Division (instant) - Every unit on the map splits in two - both copies at half health. Commanders excluded.

                      So now there are 130 events!
