Episode 2　『理由』

Understanding Game Starts: Kenshi offers various scenarios (Game Starts) that define your initial circumstances. Each Game Start includes information on Difficulty, starting Cash (Cats), suggested Play Style, and a Short Description. The dedicated Game Starts page provides more in-depth details on items, stats, faction relations, and starting locations.

Difficulty: Difficulty labels for Game Starts indicate the initial challenge. Easier starts do not affect character leveling speed.

Cash: The in-game currency is called Cats. Some Game Starts provide no money, while others offer a small sum.

Play Style: This label suggests a mindset for playing your characters (e.g., RPG, Action RPG, Real-time Strategy, Wanted Criminal, Trading RPG). These are not enforced, allowing flexibility in your gameplay approach.

Short Description: Provides context about your character's origin, starting items, and initial relations with major factions.
