Personally I don't like the idea of the "They sought you out" event now not being able to trigger in the Meadows. I like the base-defense like aspect of the random events, even if it ends up in some of my buildings taking damage and since one's main base tends to be setup in the Meadows since it's your starting area, I find it a shame that the most threatening of events won't happen there. I'd think reducing the chance of that event happening from the random event pool would be a better option then completely blocking it out from the Meadows.
