As CE is strongly related to DF, my question is, how strong is the simulation beyond your colony map? Is it detailed like DF? Means, if you can keep track of all wonders/entities/wars/disasters that happens around the world without your presence? How much will affect a worldevent your current colony? Will a Legendary inventor/sorcerer/general settle in your colony, who plays an important role in the big empire? And may you safely abandon your current colony, to see it thrive/perish from the "outside"?
Well they did mention that the "world" would have a history, with your colonies being part of them and newspapers writing about things that happen inside and outside oyu colony. So there IS a world outside you colony, but I don´t know how much of it will be simulated or if those are just events that happen at random.
"In other news, Quag'garoth, Prince of Brie, has ravaged the outskirts of the Motherland. Peasants and horses alike were swallowed whole by the carnivorous blob, the rotting corpses of their families impregnating the air with the foulest of odours. Citizens are advised to stay inside, and destroy any form of diary immediately. Commander Heston of the Fifteenth Squad is frank; 'Chances of survival are slim.' And now, the weather."
"Thank you for that weather update, Phil. Looks like it's a good weekend for a picnic. In national news, The Bureau of Unfortunate Statistics today announced that miscommunication re: dairy / diary has resulted in an estimated 150,000 additional fatalities and/or cheese-based conversions. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Public Book-Burning reports record-breaking turn-out at the yearly fundraiser."
