Raid the Raiders

[johnakers]

How about our colonist are tired of being the victims or just need some supplies to survive?

The player could initiate a raid against any one of the factions they are sharing that planet with.  You could send 1 or all of your colonists on the attack.

The attack would take place on another map (prebuilt tribe bases, from the developers and the community).  There would be a travel time once you initiate it and supply wagons would be needed so your colonist can survive the journey and also to return with the spoils.  A relentless, heavy assault could burn up the very resources you came for so their is always risk in attacking.  These colonists may starve and never return.

The tribe you attack would have an effect on all the other tribes.  If you attack a peaceful tribe, all the other tribes become wary of you.  If you slap around a raiding tribe then those that despise them will favor your actions.

Another danger of this is that the storyteller may decide to attack your base while all your colonist are away!
