No. Except that it sounds like the same composer. Derp.

This has really piqued my interest.

For the late-game, Paradox hopes to avoid letting the player reach a point where they know that they've won. Their solution is a galactic catastrophe. You can have between zero and two of these in each campaign, and they'll be triggered either at random or by the research of you or your opponents. Certain technologies are marked as dangerous, and researching them could potentially result in a crisis. For instance, research the more advanced wormhole technologies and you could rip open a hole to demonic dimension. Research AI, and you may face a familiar problem. "They're happy all the time and don't cause any problems," says Fåhraeus of the AI robots, "but then suddenly they do."

Oh great, they have struggled with that problem since the very beginning of those grand strategy games. It's good to hear they're making progress.

This has really piqued my interest.

This reminds me of the realm divide mechanic from Shogun 2. I was not a fan of this since it was often completely nonsensical but that's cos it wasn't implemented well. It's a good idea though, just gotta be careful how it's activated and its consequences.

I think difference with that is realm divide turned everyone against you (iirc) while this would present 'a new threat' which would unify people against, imagine more like Mongol / Timurid invasion in Medieval 2 Total War.
