Repeating Events

The "Milky Way" map comes with it's own Dread Lords to start with; the first time I played it I got the Dread Lords event fairly soon in and had to deal with double the Dread Lords. I wasn't able to place spies on the 2nd DL planet (to hamper their production) because the game said they were a "minor race". Ain't nothing minor about two Dread Lords in your backyard...

I should probably put this in the bug forum, too.

Bummer. What about the plague one? If you get it and then research the cure, can another plague hit and can you research that one too?

I don't think I've ever seen the same mega-event twice in one game....at leat not that I can recall.

Sentient species taste better...

I've seen the Vegans show up multiple times.

In a pure kinda way, it's almost a good thing that randomized events can happen more than once - i have yet to witness any double dose of Mega stuff but if & when the Jagged Knife cuts my planned strategy a whole 75% worth of delays it'd be really mind boggling to cope with a second wave of galactic scramblings.

Simulation or Deterministic gameplay can satisfy two type of players... the former being what similar or exactly the same Mega Events would do to wreck the latter's plan for an easier game or randomly made tougher by destiny instead of optional settings. Hence, selection of any variable Mega-Events set(s) at initialization would solve that & many other conditions.
