Crisis Update
I feel like the crisis needs an update. With defenders of the galaxy being upgraded, the crisis should also get upgrades. I think the older ones have stayed the same since they were implemented.
My main inspiration is Crisis Manager - End-Game Edition (3.12.¢). You could already have multiple crisis spawn, but 4.3 brought that to vanilla. Pretty much every crisis should be given more ships and armies. Every crisis with an army should have them as aggressive stance.
For specifics, I have nothing for Cetana. For the contingency, they should behave like the gray tempest. Basically four motherboards or sterilization hubs churning out fleets and armies. I feel like the contingency should also have access to battle frame armies and mega warforms, but i’m not sure about that one since they did take synths with the ghost signal and use them for their armies. I also want to give the contingency a neutron sweep colossus and have their battleships carry seeker drone hangars. I am more open for discussion with the contingency because they are my favorite crisis and it hurts ignoring them for 30 years just to see if the cybrex would spawn and they never do.
For the Prethoryn Scourge, they should spawn with all of their 2000 ships for the second wave. I feel like they should also behave like a criminal syndicate almost to mimic gene stealer cults. Speaking of tyranids, there should be two types of waves. A doomstack wave that moves in unison between 1-3 systems, and a more split up wave that scatters and hits multiple systems at once. The first kind is like hive fleet behemoth and the second one is like hive fleet kraken. It can either be a 50% chance for each type, or the cooler version would be both of them spawn in a 10 year gap maybe but on different sides of the galaxy.
The unbidden should just have the other invaders spawn after 5 years or so, regardless of how much they ate.
I know about the crisis slider, but that’s just alpha strikes and getting one shotted and that’s no fun. The crisis is fighting the entire galaxy and so they should have the ships and armies to do so. The crisis should change the geopolitical landscape of the galaxy and irreparably damaging multiple empires. I know that it might cause some lag, but 4.3 already helped with lag to the point where the game should be able to handle these changes. They’re destroying ships and populations anyways. Thoughts?
