Europa in In Like A Lion

> *So you're the new recruit that helped Neil with Europa's intel recon. Good work, kid. We could use more sharp minds like you in our ranks. I'm Rex Jansson -- from now on, you report to me.*
>
>
> *Green Imperialism has once again destroyed unique communities, families, and lives, but their warpath ends here. We've taken Europa back from those pompous Gaians and will restore this world to its original state. With Pim's help we've demolished any facilities that promoted terraforming, so we'll have to start clean. Also, no satellites -- can't risk the Gaians sabotaging our mission by tampering with offworld tech.*
>
>
> *Your first mission will be to reduce the atmospheric pressure to Europa's original condition. We'll tackle the ice after that, then we'll camp here until it's safe to stop those damn Gaians from adding more victims to their empire.*

**In Like a Lion** is an epic live event that occasionally runs on Wednesdays, 12:00 AM UTC. During the event's runtime it can be reached by tapping an icon of Europa underneath the icon that allows you to Fast Forward worlds. Tapping the event icon would take you directly to the event planet. An overterraformed Normal mode Europa. The world is played with the Sons of Hephaestus faction.

Five milestones can be reached in the event, each giving different rewards. This event starts with the Culture settings that come with the Sons of Hephaestus. (30% Conservation, 15% Industrial, No Transformation Eco-Policy) Satellites are disabled in this event.

## Milestones

Milestones can be viewed by clicking the event icon (in this case it is Europa) while you are already on the event world. This is also the place where you collect your rewards after you have completed the milestones.

You can earn these milestones in any order (except the the final milestone, that one is last - achievable by earning and **maintaining** all of the previous milestones).

### Pressure Drop

*First thing's* *first -- we'll have to get rid of all this air. Europa did just fine without it for eons, and it'll be easier to bring back all that beautiful ice without an atmosphere. Let's drop this pressure, kid.*

Goal: Decrease pressure to 300 Pa.

Reward: 8,000,000c

Achievement text:

*Good work, kid. With the atmosphere gone, Europa's starting to feel more like her pretty old self again. Let's keep going before those damn Gaians show up and undo our hard work.*

### Cold Shoulder

*Now that we've dropped the pressure, it's time to drop the temperature too. But work quickly -- those damn Gaians could return at any moment, and we don't want to give them a warm welcome.*

Goal: Decrease temperature to 110,000 mK

Rewards: 24 Fast-Forward Hours, 20 GP & 15,000,000c

Achievement text:

*Now that's more like it. You've gone good work here, kid. Of course, we still have a long ways to go before Europa's restored, but something tells me you've got what it takes to undo the damage those green imperialist have done.*

### Let It Snow

*You've done good work so far, kid. Now here comes the fun part. Europa's more than a cold rock -- she just wouldn't be the same without all that iconic ice! Open those floodgates and freeze this pretty world.*

Goal: Increase overall water level to 1,800,000 cm.

Rewards: 50 GP, 35,000,000c & Bronze Governor Pack

Achievement text:

*You really did it, kid. You helped Europa reclaim her ice. She's already looking better, but we still have a lot of work to do and not much time to do it. You up for more?*

### Deep Breaths

*This is is it. The last big restoration project. If we can get those oxygen levels back up to where they were, Europa will be back to her beautiful self. We're counting on you, kid!*

Goal: Increase oxygen to 1,000,000 ppm

Rewards: 24 Carbon Impact Points & Silver Governor Pack

Achievement text:

*Kid, I'm proud of you. Europa feels like her old self again. Not much in this universe is more beautiful than a pristine world, the next best thing is a restored one. One last push and we'll secure Europa's future.*

### Freeze Guard

*I hate to say it, but if we leave Europa now -- as nature intended -- the Gaians will ruin this world all over again. We'll need to establish a presence here to let those green imperialists know their reign of terror has ended.*

Goal: Increase habitations to 3,000,000

Rewards: 5 cards for Pim Jansson & 50 GP

Achievement text:

*Well kid, you've saved Europa. The Gaians really thought they could just take this beautifully unique world and change it as they pleased, but they didn't know she'd have powerful allies fighting for her. Where others saw a lifeless moon, you saw her splendor. I can't thank you enough, kid -- I'm glad to have you on our side.*

### In Like a Lion

*Good work, kid. At this rate, Europa will be back to her old self in no time. Damn Gaians really grind my gears -- why can't they just leave well enough alone instead of destroying these beautifully pristine worlds?*

Goal: Complete all milestones

Rewards: 10 cards for Rex Jansson & 200 GP

## Random Events

These random events can only happen during this live event. All live-event-exclusive random events have the title of their respective live event.

### Pressure Increase

*Our pressure has changed by [number] Pa.*

Increases pressure by less than 1,000 Pa.

### Oxygen Increase

*Continued radiation from Jupiter has increased radiolysis of vapor!*

*Our oxygen has changed by [number] ppm.*

Increases oxygen by a few thousand ppm. Helpful when increasing oxygen.

### Credits Increase

*We've stumbled upon some abandoned Gaian facilities, selling the materials as scrap metal has netted us a decent sum.*

## Strategy

"In Like a Lion" has five milestones, all being moderately difficult to achieve. Overall, this live event is not incredibly difficult, but not at all easy. Here are some tips to complete this live event with more ease:

* To get revenue, rush researching Spaceports and place a few in cities.
	+ "Rushing" refers to spending GP to quickly finish researching a facility.
	+ Do not use culture revenue or mines. Culture revenue is too unreliable and mines are too inefficient as a source of credits.
* It is recommended to complete 1st milestone (decreasing pressure) later in the game rather than sooner.
	+ This is because after completing the 1st milestone, you will need to balance it so it does not go to 0 Pa, which will delete all oxygen, but not over 600 Pa (if you haven't completed the 2nd milestone), which will allow water to be in liquid form. Random events may also increase pressure and make things difficult.
* Spend culture points on Industrial and then Conservation.
	+ You may also want to spend some on Knowledge to reduce research times as there are a lot of things to be researched in this live event. Be careful as this will also reduce your revenue from facilities like Spaceports and mines.
* Spend some GP for rushing some researches as there are a lot of things to be researched.
* Use facilities well.
	+ Use Hab Domes for habitations and building slots.
	+ Use Biofixture Labs to decrease pressure. Make sure pressure does not drop to 0 Pa, or else all oxygen will be lost, making achieving the 4th milestone more difficult.
	+ Use Aerostat Platforms to decrease temperature. You may want to stay out of the game when temperature is near 300,000 mK as at near that temperature most water will be in liquid form, potentially flooding your cities.
	+ Use Comet Slings to increase water and as a temporary source of revenue.
	+ Use Kelp Farms to increase oxygen. Be careful of pressure levels if you have completed the 1st milestone and do not let it drop to 0 Pa
	+ Building Kelp Farms and Spaceports in a 1:1 ratio balances the pressure while increasing oxygen. Building Aquifer Networks and CyanoVats in a 1:1 ratio to increase both water and oxygen simultaneously is less recommended as this does not increase credits.
* Manage your cities.
	+ Have one for revenue, one for habitations, and the rest for completing milestones.
	+ Have at least one Hab Dome and Spaceport in each city.
	+ Demolish all the unneeded facilities once you reach a milestone, and replace it with the facilities required for the next milestone to save building slots.
* The recommended order to complete milestones: 2nd (decreasing temperature), 4th (increasing oxygen), 3rd (increasing water), 1st (decreasing pressure), 5th (habitations).

## Completion Text

*Good work, kid. Europa is her pretty frozen self again, considering.*

*Of course, those damn Gaians will be back, you can be sure of that. We'll have to protect Europa's right to keep turning on her own accord. Maybe one day she'll sprout life unique to this world; maybe she won't. Doesn't matter either way, no one -- especially those green imperialists -- has any right to change her.*

*Consider an honest deed done.*

**Important: only press 'Complete Event' when you are ready to leave the event world, because you cannot continue playing that same world after that. You also can't restart and complete this event more than once.**

## Trivia

* This is the first live event to have 5 milestones (the other one is Silver Lining).
