Hi All,
Almost every single player 3X or 4X game I have played, granted most of them old school turn based games, have had some sort of Random Event generator for different levels of the game. For example, the Master of Orion series often had a random chance one of your super duper friendly Ambassador type buddies would just go wack and send their fleets to clean your orbit of ships.
I can kick off with a few examples here below, I'd be interested to see what others think would be good for Zorg Empire.

Pulsar Navigational Lock - Scientists have locked on to and synchronized navigational sensors with a number of pulsars throughout the galaxy. Travel to, from, and within this Galaxy is increased by 25%.

Try to make them reasonable...We don't want to see anything like - Dirty Diapers - Nobody can attack this planet for 356 days because CENSORED left his dirty diapers out!

The spirit of the times may alter, will alter. We must crush in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed crporations, which dare already to bid defiance to the laws of our country.
