Description says it all. I want to know for my mod.

Tarrke

Don't really know, didn't test it but I found that Storytellers comes with a desired population section. Try upgrading this number to 5 and launch a game.

<StorytellerDef>
<defName>Callie</defName>
<name>Chill Callie Classic</name>
<description>Callie is a less aggressive version of her sister Cassandra. She's good for a first game.</description>
<quotation>It starts out pretty chill, but it gets really exciting at the end!</quotation>
<incidentMakerClass>IncidentMaker_ClassicEasy</incidentMakerClass>
<listOrder>10</listOrder>
<portraitLarge>UI/HeroArt/Storytellers/CassandraClassic</portraitLarge>
<portraitTiny>UI/HeroArt/Storytellers/CassandraClassicTiny</portraitTiny>
<desiredPopulationMin>3</desiredPopulationMin>
<desiredPopulationMax>25</desiredPopulationMax>
<desiredPopulationCritical>500</desiredPopulationCritical>
</StorytellerDef>

Tarrke, I tried modifying this value with no avail. Any other ideas?

Tynan

The 3 is hardcoded for now. I'll look into moddable startup sequences later.

Is it possible to embark with more than 3 guys
Absolutely, it is certainly possible! And possible with the help of women.

You can embark with:

  • 2 guys, 1 girl.
  • 1 guy, 2 girls.
  • 0 guys, 3 girls.

That is three more unique starting embarks besides the originally based question equalling a total of four embarkment scenarios. Furthermore, if you want to get into the realm of gender dynamics or philosophy you begin to argue what makes a guy vs. a girl and really start to unlock even more possibilities for embarking scenarios.

Alternative (more likely appropriate answer):
Another way to read this question is if you can technically have more then three guys embarked at the same time? I'm afraid, for now, the answer is no.

Hope that all of this helps to answer your question!

Hope peoe this is a joke, too! Have fun.

I took that as a challenge. Do I get a prize for winning?

Apart from the instant loss (and a huge number of errors), you at least "appear" to start with 6 colonists.
