[DEVBLOG#77] Freya Fierce - a new storyteller!

Hello everyone, I brought a guest today that I'd like to introduce to you. She will be joining us alongside the Vanilla Factions Expanded - Vikings.

Freya Fierce

Freya believes in the importance of showing your strength and using force to show others their place. Every year after the first year, at the start of Aprimay your settlement will become increasingly unhappy until you send your colonists on an adventure or a raid, and bring back the spoils of war. 

Freya is a storyteller that will work perfectly fine for your viking colony, but also for spacer pirates if that's what you want to play as. She introduced a brand new mechanic - a stacking colony-wide debuff when you turtle in and not leave your base - it's all for that extra bit of challenge.

Event-wise, she's just like Randy - throwing random events in random amounts of time. She does however allow for double the population - and trust me, you will need it.

Every year after the first year, following debuff will appear and will stack up to 4 times:

Restless (x0)    0    “We should begin planning our next raid.”

Restless (x1) -15 “Traveling should be easy now, we can easily loot from those weaklings.”

Restless (x2) -25 “Why is our warband growing so docile? The weak should fear the strong - We must attack our enemies soon.”

Restless (x3) -35 “So many luxuries at our fingertips, yet we’re too cowardly to slaughter our enemies and take their riches?”

Restless (x4) -45 “I’ve lost all hope - There is no way we can keep going like this, I fear our people and history will never be remembered.” 

In order for this effect to reset, player needs to venture out and succeed in any quest, modded or not, that takes place outside of your own map - whether it's a raid, bandit outpost, captured prisoner rescue - all of those will reset the counter.

We hope this storyteller will be ideal for players afraid of having the game force them to just build and stay hunkered down. It should pose a nice challenge for those wanting to play as a bandit gang!
