Difficulty Philosophy

[killerx243]

I really like the idea of a story teller with a capped difficulty. I like to build my base and tend to fill holes with stone walls (I know its kinda useless but I don't like the giant empty spaces). This leads to a very high wealth and I get swamped by raiders. There were too many to count and swarmed my population of 10. I get that with the current storytellers you are not supposed to live there indefinitely, but why not build a community? Your people feel it is necessary to give the settlement a name.

The best game I had was on Randy a couple versions ago, I got myself up to 30 population and the raider waves were a threat but with careful tactician work I could overcome them without major loses. I didn't mind watching my people work like ants, almost autonomous and only needing guidance with some real danger. The only reason I gave that save up is when the new version came out.

Long story short: What I'd like and play the most of is a storyteller that is for building a colony in all aspects (even defense), now I know his story may be long and seems like it never ends because it isn't about the ending; but the journey it took to get there. For all intents and purposes I picture him as an older fella.

Not sure if this would work but:

Not actually touched the storytellers before so can't say if that'd work or not lol

How do I add this as a storyteller?

Figured it out! Thanks!

Wait does that mean Callie is super tougher than all the others at late game? I'm facing hundreds of raiders and mechanoids (200-300 Game is laggy as heeccck during raids) practically on a weekly basis. 4F Version. Going to update soon

Definitely playing phobe/randy
