do you retire?

[Twogun]

recently 'survived' the orc invasion(i say that, cus it isn't like i kicked ass, but i did a bit). and got the retirement option.

i was bummed, having lost 2 of my best brothers in the previous 3 fights, so i retired.

but there was still plenty to do. it was like, day 165 or so.

do you guys retire? or carry on?

I rarely finish after the first crisis as there is indeed still a lot to do afterwards.

I do not consider my run "complete" unless I've beaten all 3 crises, after which I usually get a bit bored and start to play somewhat recklessly in order to see what can finally wipe my team out.

If my bros expected cosy retirement when they signed up they must have already been crazy anyways :D

[Twogun]

wait. you get all 3 crisis in one game? had i waited, there would have been another?

I tend to retire a band when I run into a battle I can't win. Alt f4 then retire instead of the death screen. Still a hard game over at the end of the day. Just different dialogue.

I never retire. When Im sick of a seed or even just a playthrough I abandon it, start the next one, and never look back. Its why I havent got a single one of the retire achievements.

I mean does it really matter? When your done your done, unless you want some happy ending for role play purposes, it wont effect anything whether you retire or just start a new game. Sorry about losing some of your favorite guys! That can definitely ruin a playthrough. Once youve invested so much into them, theyre half the reason you play.

Yes you get all crisis in a single game. Around day 400 or more (at least in my experience) it will start all over again.

Yes after the first 3 you start getting them at random. I had a run that after the first 3 I got 3 undead in a row.

You can't get the same one twice in a row.

I really enjoy the retirement write up, have not played since 2017... that's still a thing I hope.
some times I would retire just to see what it would tell me as a synopsis.

[Twogun]

it is. and i agree, it's well done.

I played for about 1.4k hours and never retired a company. Death in combat is the only way to end.

Yeah they come back around. I even draw a line between defeating, and merely surviving a crisis.

If you defeat a crisis, you did the exact things with a fully leveled band, to stop it dead in its tracks. You take out the monolith, you cut the head of the snake, you actually in no uncertain terms, DEFEAT the crisis.

Merely doing one or two things related to the crisis, and surviving it is just that, surviving the crisis.

I tend to take a slow relaxed pace. As such I survive a crisis that 1st time, try to defeat it the 2nd or 3rd time. Tends to be years before retirement for me.

ahh. thx deth pot. that actually is an interesting differentiation.

i survived.
