in my opinion the new AI is bugged but I want to continue the game I started just with a different AI
is there a way of changing AI?

just changed the file extension of one of my save files to .txt (although I could have just opened it up in notepad...) and I found what appears to be the line for the AI
<Storyteller Class="Storyteller_ClassicEasy">
anyone know what that should be for phoebe?

just did the same with a different save file and got this bit
<Storyteller Class="Storyteller_Friendly"> is this the correct wording?

That is the correct one.

Why do you think it'd bugged, I'm curious? Maybe it's something I can fix.

the new AI that is supposed to be between Cassandra and phoebe is much harder than Cassandra
one game started out ok but then very quickly I got hit by a solar flare early on killing my electrics this made all my colonists moody (one ran off another I had to lock up) and then I got attacked by a large group of raiders
in my second game I noticed that the raiding parties would always be larger than the last (I would go as far as to say the parties doubled in size each time - the 4th party killed me and there were 8 people in it)
I swapped to phoebe and things were well... easy and then I switched to Cassandra and while raiding groups got a bit bigger (3-4 people a group) it just wasn't as hard as it was with the new AI

I haven't had a problem with Callie. For me the first raid was 1, then 3, then 5 and it slowly went up. I'm seeing raids with ~35 in it now, but I also have 17 colonists and am on day ~145.

Do keep in mind that the more defences/weapons/turrets you yourself have the more raiders will come.

well the first one I had one turret (that was not working due to solar flare) and I had 3 colonists (1 had ran off the other was in jail along with a traveller we picked up)
the next one I had okay defences no solar flare was going on to ruin everything but I only had something like 3 people with guns
in my experience callie is harder than Cassandra because Cassandra has never put me up against such odds

It also feels like Cassie is broken to me too....

Less then 1 month in, with only four colonists, she sends a raiding group of 20 people after me, with the energy rifle, m-24's and frag grenades....

No mater how many times I try, she always steam rolls me with meat walls...

And its not like I have a large amount of people either, just 4 colonists, none of whom know how to use a gun... and 4 auto turrets, one at each corner of my base.

exactly the raiders appear to happen after a set ammount of time instead of randomly and each one is always bigger than the last

Just reading through this, Cassie definately seems broken.
I had 4 people with 2 turrets and I get a raid only a short way into the game that completely decimates my base!

I don't understand how anyone can play on anything more than Phoebe difficulty.

Which is too easy by the way :(

What is the name of the save file, and where can I find it?  I'm trying to change from phoebe to either classic or randy in order to get the ai persona core and get all of my people off the planet.  (no spoilers please this will be my first time getting them into space)

In Alpha 6 you can change the storyteller in the options menu.
