Anomalous events in my game can be both good and bad, they are randomly chosen to add replayability, but i also need more idea's for them, i aim on keeping them balanced, the general idea is that on their own they are meaningless but the more they add up the more you gotta adapt to those events, here is a list of events that can happen in a round, tell me if you have idea's or if you like the one i have (note:eaxh event lasts for the whole round you cannot get rid of them)

Foggy day: ranged unit have less visibility making their range 30% shorter

Order of extermination: ennemies will prioritize killing your unit rather than going straight for the breach door and then deciding to pick on unit (if the ennemies break the breach door you loose)

Romanian favor: romanian troopers will passively spawn for free to help you defend

Russian favor: russian tanks and armed vehicule can be bought for your unit.

American favor: american airstrike will occure randomly dealing vast amount of damage

Dry air field: the fire attack damage last for 3 sec more

Virulant gene: ennmies now deal 40% more damage with melee

Economical surge: all weapons are now 15% cheaper (doesn't include vehicle)

Order of salvation: "major mutants" (aka bosses) can now spawn between special waves as special ennemy

Order of disruption: the time between you telling a unit to move and the unit actually living is now longer

Order of devastation: ennemies will now randomly explode upon death, the damage will scale depending on their health

Scientific crisis: some mutants have been discovered too late and they will spawn 2 wave earlier

Exhaustion: units are 60% slower to move

Explosive shortage: airstrikes, explosive unit and explosive vehicle are now 250% more expensive

There are 4 different kinds of ressource in that game, Funds (money to hire personel) Scrap (to upgrade material) anomalous residue (to upgrade the science tree wich is used to decrease the dangerosity of the monster of the lake) and finnaly tokens (to add different type of unit)

Funds are obtained via clearing waves and beating special mutants

Scraps are obtained from looting the corpse of mutant with your class D

Anomalous residue is obtained by beating "major mutants" (aka bosses)

Tokens are obtained every 5 waves you cleared (different kinds of unit saves across game, it's permanent)

Here are the cycle i imagine for all the ressources

Fund cycles: you get low tier personel to clear waves and kill special mutant when they spawn, so you can get more funds to get more personel or higher ranking personel (loop goes on)

Scrap cycle:at the end of each wave you send your class D in the field to collect scrap from corpses so you can upgrade your peronel to defend more and better so you have more corpse to loot and so on

Anomalous residue cycle: if a major mutant appears that mean the lake is on a high danger level, the higher you go, the more dangerous ennmies become, until boss start spawning, from them you can get said anomalous residue so you can prevent future boss from spawning and catching you off-guard

Tokens are self explanatory
