Cassandra Classic

Cassandra creates story events on a steadily-increasing curve of challenge and tension.

AI Storytellers

Cassandra Classic is the default storyteller. In the beginning, Cassandra will always send a single mad animal, followed by a single raider, within 10 days from arrival. Challenges remain consistent, ramping up in difficulty as you progress, but with breaks every 1-2 raids.

Analysis

Many players find Cassandra to be more difficult than Randy, since her raids are consistent, and happen more often than average. While Randy is often quiet for months or even years at a time, Cassandra is forced to send major threats on a semi-regular basis. At the same time, players can take advantage of her hardcoded breaks. When playing with Randy, a raid can happen at any time, so players can never be 100% secure.

In addition, Randy could send multiple 1.5x size raids back-to-back, potentially creating situations that are harder than what Cassandra can possibly dish out.
