So the Shadows events aren't really events, just a bit of a guide then? I'll leave it on in that case.

What are the story events? There are three checkboxes at the beginning of a custom game for the standard events, return of the shakturi, and age of shadows. I know there is an invasion if you check the shakturi box, but what are the events for the other two?

Awesome thanks guys!

<t> Hi guys. Just a few quick questions:<br/>
<br/>
1. Is there a way to automate the design of certain types of ships? My goal is to create my own military ships, and let the AI design mining ships, passenger ships, etc. Is this possible?<br/>
