New "Random Events" AND Roguelike-Mode Mod!

Nuggets

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!

Uploaded version 19 with mainly some fixes / clarifications:

Fixed the bug where t1 units could randomly have like 15000 hp after the event -99% hp
negative HP modifiers now also affect shields
Fixed "Mitosis" (dying units split into two lower tier units) not working for air
The event that transform all units into "bugs" no longer transform unfinished experimentals into finished monkeylords with % of their health missing
All stat modifiers for units now also impact the ACU (exceptions are modification to -HP, because I dont want ACUs to be more easily snipeable)

V20 with some fixes, new events and the requested range modifier feature.

Changes:

Mass defection (all engineers switch side) is now half as likely.
The ghosts (also called Dummy Drone (ZXA0001)) removed from the transformations
Static Storm (units standing still take damage over time) removed -> didnt work
Commander Meltdown (all ACUs drop to 1 hp) removed -> this event had no real feature except that people randomly die to 1 unit.

New events:

Artillery Barrage - all weapons +100% range.
Skirmish Lines - land units -50% range, +50% speed.
Fortress Guns - structures +100% range, -30% damage.
Overextended - mobile units +100% range, -30% damage.

New "special events":

Defector Vote: Each team gets a vote (with 20 second timer) to choose one teammate to move to the opponent team. This change is permanent.
Every Man For Himself: For the duration of this events, teams are disbanded and its a FFA. As soon as the event runs out, everyone is back to their original team.

Updated this thread to include the "Roguelike Mode" Mod!

Any questions or bug reports regarding that mod can be posted here aswell

Awesome mod!

Since I have been asked how the rarities work. I thought I post this table as to how the DEFAULT values work.
2 things to know before hand:

there is a lobby setting to decrease or increase the rarities
there is a lobby setting to equalize rarities among all players (which means if one player sees a legendary in slot 1, everyone will see a legendary in that slot)

So as you can see in that ai generated picture, the odds increase over time to stay relevant.

Is it possible to make the "Air" bonuses category in the lobby settings bannable, just like the "Navy" category?

Sure its possible to add an option but by removing air AND navy (im assuming for land spam maps) the land buffs are going to get way out of control as there is only structure and land buffs left.

...and also for commanders, and for the economy.
Yes, I understand what that implies; nevertheless, we’ll be able to toggle between air on/off and naval on/off. For example, for land wars navy and air doesnt mean something, like as survivors games too.
By the way, I haven't seen any bonuses for boosting shields—such as shield radius or shield strength. Do they not exist, or did I just have no luck seeing them?
