We're testing a new Kaiju attack event this week as well as some other changes involving events.

The Kaiju attack is similar to a raider or pirate event except it spawns a "Super Unit" and it's not going to Raid your products, its just going to attack on a rampage towards a city. Also the Kaiju will have a weakness linked to a specific random resource product (Radioactive Metals, Rare Woods etc) which can be used to damage it without combat. You just have to dump that product on its location and it destroys the product and does damage equal to the quantity to the Kaiju next turn. All damage taken or done via product counts towards your bounty split if its destroyed.

Right now there is only one kind of Kaiju that is a super scaled up version of a tank unit, but we plan to make 3-4 different kinds that "Attack As" different kinds of units types so they require different kinds of units to combat it. Infantry, Battlesuit, Artillery and even Fighter or Bomber. The Kaijus have levels 1-10 like any other ground unit but they are usually starting at like 20 times the attack power and 50x the Hit points and bounty value of that unit type at level 1, then scale up in levels from there like any other ground unit. Level 10 Kaiju were breaking the database 32-bit integer limitations for some things =)

The event itself will have a link to track exactly where the unit is at the time and we also are working on making every event have its own Comms channel so everyone can scream for help in the appropriate place. The Random level of the Kaiju is capped to 1 level per 10mil population on the planet. A 100mil pop planet can spawn a level 10 Kaiju. A level 10 Kaiju of the one kind we have hits for like 2000x tanks and has 500k hit points. In testing, a single monolith lost a war with a level 7 Kaiju rampaging through terran fed defenses and it doesn't even hit capital ships for squat. Try Bombers =)
