I just got back to the game and doing a queen’s hand trial that is killing me in every aspect, I wanted to ask everyone how they deal with small hearths?

I saw someone on YouTube that build a hearth in every new glade. The question here, do you get -30 for each hearth you build? How often do you use this? Does it give +1 resolve for each hearth build if you meet level 1 requirement?

Any advice on how to tackle it?

I came back and thought I would start a Queen’s Hand and started it on Viceroy.

To my shock, I forgot I have zero things. Literally cooked food was a privilege. No kitchen, no housing?? no blueprint re-rolls. I didn’t expect the absolute sheer amount of pain this caused. I almost lost the game too so it wasn’t a smooth first ride.

What citadel upgrades should I pursue? Any overall advice?

After a long stop period, I came back to this gem of a game to find Bats and other updates.

Currently in the middle of a P20 seal but I think I will just go to Queen’s trial as it is more challenging.

Bats: they are really great with the mining Cornerstone allowing +8% productivity globally. That is one of the best combinations I have ever seen in the game. Since I have been away, I think bats are good with frogs due to Paste.

I have seen some good new cornerstones combos like Trader arriving gives +10 amber and +15 amber when accepting new villagers. This gives 25 easily. I had this in a map with a modifier giving me +5 Amber in a drizzle season for every hostility level. This was the richest I have ever been in my life. Also currently just playing P6 so maybe I need to step it up.

There are a lot to discuss, but since I will doing a queen’s trial, I would like to ask what things to be aware of? what changed? How to tackle the seal fragments?
