− | + | '''AI storytellers''' create [[events]] like pirate raids, resource drops, or animal attacks. Your choice of storyteller sets the tone for your colony - a vicious storyteller may send constant deadly attacks, while a more benevolent storyteller will send trade caravans and travelers asking you for help. They choose events based on a number of factors, such as how much wealth your colony has acquired, how many colonists you have, if a colonist has died or been severely wounded recently, and how long it has been since the last major event. | |
− | create [[events]] | ||
− | |||
− | + | The one that you choose will make decisions about what events it wants you to encounter and when based on the situation you are currently in and on the biases of that particular AI. Choosing an AI will have a great influence on the narrative that is formed as you play. The difficulty is selected separately from the storyteller. | |
− | + | Both difficulty and storyteller are changeable mid-game, with no downside or penalty. | |
