| Summary | 0007877: New permadeath mode | ||||
| Description | With the way that the game is moving away from permadeath I was thinking about an additional mode to bring back some of the penalty for permadeath. Each time you die, you get to choose from the remaining characters in your settlement rather than randomly generated new ones. If you have no more lives then you start at a new settlement on the continent back at Tier 1 (When starting on a new continent you could give the player a buffer of several characters to make this easier). This would bring back the tension associated with a loss of character since you now have finite "lives". In order be slightly more forgiving, you could possibly increase the seed rate of the Rescue missions and it would provide an incentive to use "Seek Survivor" scrolls once you have unlocked all the time periods. | ||||

I can see this being a option on the difficulty screen (tick box.) However, I'd suggest that if you run out of characters and die, you wouldn't go back to the same continent; the continent gets dominated by the Overlord as the last vestiges of resistance are wiped out, and the continent becomes inaccessible and only visible from the seas. The player then starts again on a new continent; failed continents would lose their continent number to avoid dying to accelerate through a number of continent unlocks quickly. |

This idea makes a lot of sense, and it isn't exactly hard to get new survivors, but where do the randomly generated ones come from? I still prefer randomly generated, whether it makes sense or not. |
