I normally play with Randy on challenge. I decided to give Cassandra a try on challenge as well. I she supposed to send raid every single day? I was 3 third season of my first year and I was getting hit with a raid every day. Traders showed up just as often, usually right before the raid.

Just wondering if that is normal. With Randy things are all over the place but I didn't face back to back raids as often with him as I did Cassandra.

Cassandra is varied too :P You probably just had a bad run
Only in RimWorld is the phrase "31 Heavily-Armed Siegers are currently bombing your base" preferable to "50 manhunting squirrels are attacking your colony"

That... doesn't sound normal. I would suggest starting a new game with the same difficulty settings and seeing if it happens again.

Wouldn't just changing the storyteller during the game in options be same as "starting" a new game?  I mean somehow the game lets you just change storytellers while playing.. which means it must do whatsoever it does for each specific storyteller

It seems common with any storyteller that after a set number of days it dumps a number of near simultaneous events.Your event bomb included several visitor events and several raid events.

Once you get through the pile not much happens for a while. Then you get the next event bomb.
If you give an annoying colonist a parka before banishing him to the ice sheet you'll only get a -3 penalty instead of -5.

And don't forget that the pirates chasing a refugee are often better recruits than the refugee is.

Colony failed in end so choosing a new storyteller wouldn't help now. I just thought, by the description of Cassandra, that things were supposed to be gradual. Not gradual and then nuking your colony. I may try a colony with her again but after that it seems she is more difficult to play than Randy. But the consensus sounds like what happened is normal for Cassandra.

I've never played any other storyteller than Cassandra on Challenge...

so I don't even know what the others are like!
