As the game begins it's up to you to pick the right crew, You need someone who's good with weapons and hunting, someone who is good with carpentry, someone who can draw maps, someone who could easily learn native languages and so on. Once that's done, you put them on a ship and head out as a Pioneer to an unknown land.
