I think there is a great deal of potential for good events in CM if some prep work was done. There’s already a present system in place to pool trusted players together so you could pre-game events with some preparation to increase complexity, as the main bottleneck I could see is spur-of-the-moment improv required by so many people. And maybe schedule the events in advance on discord.
Let’s say you wanted to have an event on Hybrisa that involves a major CLF cell. There’s been an attack, the Almayer is brought in to root out the terrorists, but uh oh, all the ones who did the attack are dead so they’re mixed in with the civs.
Grab a few guys off the CO WL, ask if they can make the event, make them a CLF Cell Leader, give’em the run down of the event. Then you have 5-ish guys on the antagonists side who have a strong idea of what they’re doing and can coordinate the event ERT spawns, who are all improving.
