I have played the most with Cassandra Classic. The other lady is nice too!
I’ve heard that Randy Random is the true GOD in this game though, and many swear in his name!😂
Randy is the only one that ever really gives me a good time. The others are too structured. Like, to the point with how much I’ve played I can easily predict what they will throw at me next. Randy, being totally random, keeps me on my toes.
Cassandra is nice to start with but late game she will have her way so then I usually switch to Randy,
In other words, make the gameplay impossible?
That’s what Cassandra does, she will find a way to destroy you. She doesn’t destroy gameplay, but the odds of survival. So you have to hurry and get that ship moving because sticking around getting wealthier means the end of your colony. Randy just leaves it to luck.
And for the record, with late game I mean at least 15 years
She doesn’t destroy gameplay, but the odds of survival.
Yeah well I meant that 😄
…sticking around getting wealthier means the end of your colony
And if you keep your wealth the same after a certain point?
Peculiar! Awesome to know!
I think that a colonist’s skills getting better also add to the overall value of your colony?
I played through Randy once and I honestly like Cassandra more. I prefer the consistency of Cassandra over Randy’s randomness.
I can somehow imagine that. I don’t know, can Randy be very difficult even on easier difficulties? If more than one negative event comes in a row.
It’s not really the difficulty that bothers me. Randy gets boring when he decides not to do anything for an entire year. I prefer regular attacks/disasters with a bit of downtime in between.
If you want the opposite the modded storyteller Perry Persistent is basically Randy, but sends daily events to keep you on your toes.
I played quite a few under randy cause people swear by him but I feel I get a much more satisfying experience under Cassandra
Randy or bust for me!
I’m intrigued by that mod that another commenter that mentioned a Cassandra and Randy combined though
Randy is too easy for me mid-game. Cassandra I got a bunch of difficult raids together with a nuclear winter as well as a cold snap that I barely survived.
With Randy I get a raid every now and then and a bunch of non-useful traders. On the same difficulty it is really too easy and doesn’t allow me to grow my colony through captures as readily.
There’s a mod that’s called “Randy and Cassandra”. It gives you a new storyteller which is basically Randy and Cassandra at the same time. You will get twice as many events since you are running 2 storytellers, but the chaos can be fun.
