I somehow ended up with an interesting combination of medieval-tech cosmic enlightenment along with friendly iron age native neighbours.

I hadn't played the game in a while but I used to play it quite a bit some years ago. The game is rather RNG-heavy, and although you can usually pick your poison, luck is a large factor in how good a result you can get.

If you aim for the best possible result on each run individually, in a sense the game is about exploration vs. exploitation, or whether to settle with what you've got or try your luck for more.

(If you want to aim for record scores overall, it probably makes sense to take high risks and fail lots of runs.)
