So I just survived my first native attack with my pacifist character keeping all Aegis troopers alive (around 12 restarts).
As I've read attacks get harder and harder, but I've seen some ways to prevent them:
-getting naval mines- some posts indicate that they completely eliminate attacks, while others that they merely "kill" some natives before the attack
-genociding the natives- again, it's not consistent. Some mention attacks stopping after killing everyone, others mention killing only warriors and one killing only named chieftains/ shamans.
Does anyone know how this works exactly?
I'd like to go with the option that requires the least amount of killing/ is the safest for expedition.
