Breaking some hearts...some planned......some not and moving south to a new base.
============================================================
Episode Notes:
============================================================
- This one is a bit longer as I encounter some problems towards the end I wanted to deal with now.
- I make some new friends, who I'll likely bring on one as our Lichenologist. Though before that I want to take advantage of their radio call in a few times to build up light bolts.
- I take on some urban hearts to clear the factory base and move in. I had to change build plans from my usual, since I am not using Red Talon facilities...and have no builder.
- I end up purging the hearts up north, not because I want too, but because I needed too...though it gets super sloppy.
- On that note I crash after one of the hearts, but on re-loading it was still alive. The whole fight turns into chaos due to changing plans....
============================================================
Season Note:
============================================================
- While this run won't push me to the extreme, the challenge comes from having to utilize survivors I'd generally pass up. Then take them and try to make them work into a successful community.
- The run will also allow me to highlight some of these oft ignored 5th skills and how they can be utilized in your runs to fill roles/niches...either full time or temporary.
- An example being, Tattoo's 5th skill having having a high chance of Hygiene Standards as a Hero Bonus, boosting your communities plague resistance. This is on top of providing basic medicine, arts and an influence bonus.
- As for the map selection it was really just variety. I've now played through all the maps at least once and I want to keep things a bit fresh. In this case picking maps so they're not being played back to back on the channel.
- Is something spicier is what you're looking for, I have a few more ideas coming that I need to do more prep/research on. So in the mean time I hope you can enjoy this run.
============================================================
Challenge Rules:
============================================================
1) I can only recruit survivors with one of the Quirk/One Star 5th skills.
2) Any survivor recruited as part of a group, without a 1-star, must be exiled ASAP.
3) Recruiting of survivors with no 5th skill is allowed, but ONLY if I already have a 1-Star skill book in my locker (Fishing, Lichenology, Sleep Psychology, etc) to train them in immediately.
4) No Red Talon agents. While only having 1-Star 5th skills, they're a bit too OP and outside the normal survivor pool.
5) No starting with Lichenology or Recycling quirk 5th skills. While I'll allow them later, they're decently common picks and I wanted to highlight a few others initially.
