Cool! So glad I became an "elite founder" when I did. I now get to look forward to all this "free" content coming down the pipe... Looking forward to seeing what these are like!

I believe so since it is in the galaxy creation options.

This isn't worth a full $5 and you goddamn know it. I'm disgusted by this turn of events. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Then wait until this goes on sale, perhaps as part of a DLC pack.  If it ain't worth a whole five dollars to you, then wait until the (combined) price is.

Sales happen eventually, you know. 

It's the principle of the thing. I would pay $2 for it (and when it goes on sale, I'm going to) but I expected better of Stardock. The map pack included an editor. For $5, that's a good price. Hell, for $10, that's still a good buy if you're into it.

This is just exploiting completionists (like me) and I won't sit idly by. I will (and have) voice my displeasure. This is a rip-off.

I mean if this included a similar editor or more events, sure, but as it sits? No. Bad Stardock! BAD!

BTW, it was also mentioned in another thread that these DLCs will be expanded as time goes by.  Something to think about in the future when the price point is more to your liking.

BTW:  At least it ain't "Red Boots" DLC.

If their anything like the mega events in GC2 they'll show up quite often don't you worry Unless I was really unlucky getting the DL's all the time? lol

Anyway Thank you Stardock and the team!

Yes but these are the ones past players really want? perhaps?

Dread Lords - Biggest bogeyman of them all - Kill'em quick or die quickly.

Peacekeeper Bloody annoying or terrifying - the old version use to kill ALL ships whether they were in space or orbit you had to hide your ships till you could take them out en masse.

Assassination was based on previous event that while on a tour of one of your planets a foreign leader would be killed by a disgruntled worker and diplomatic talks failed and only a war would punish us properly or something of that kind? It got real interesting if both parties had allies the offended race would declare war on you then your allies would declare war on them and then their allies would declare war on your allies as a result a relatively peaceful galaxy could become a bloodbath in a matter of 2 turns....and it was worse if they were your ally to start with?...

The Artifact is similar to a event in GC2 kill'em now or get crushed by them later and the longer you leave it the worse it becomes....As for the Space Monsters that's completely New probably comes from the suggestions made in Beta stages for distant universe type space monsters?

Quite nice,I had to turn mega events off in GC2 as I kept getting the DL's and couldn't find and kill them quickly enough most of the time.Its a DLC you don't have to buy it but the options there if you want to or you change your mind later on? I haven't bought the map editor yet myself but that's due to personal stuff.

Only five? Where are the Jagged Knife and Galactic Plague?

?

@RKade8583 Fair enough mate there's not a lot I can say other than its your money you do what you want with it

@BuckGodot Yeah theres lots of room for more as we compiled a list somewhere in the Beta section of most of the usual events plus some new ones? Don't forget those events were built up over the lifetime of GC2 and its 2 expansions so we probably wont get everything all at once? plus Frogboy has just posted in the 1.3 thread that we can mod new events as well?

Get on Stardock support about it. They were good about giving me the free ship parts for buying the game in the first week.

I'm only going by this thread and what Frogboy stated in the 1.3 thread,but yes there is only 5 in this DLC but you get extra Dreadlord ship parts as well and can mod your own events?

There will probably be a lot more events down the road whether their free with patches or updates or optional DLC is yet to be known?
