Forbidden Glade Only Challenge
Started a new profile, going from Viceroy to P20 doing all the seals and as many deeds as I can along the way
Rules are you can only open Small Glades and Forbidden Glades
Opening of Dangerous Glades is not allowed (with exception of sealed forest for practicality purposes)
I think it's fair to say that the games Meta centres around opening and solving Dangerous Glades and avoiding Small Glades (and to an extent Forbidden Glades) and finishing your settlement ASAP.
Banning Dangerous Glades (especially on a fresh profile) has reinvigorated this game for me forcing me to rethink everything from cornerstone and order choices to my woodcutting and glade strategy / timing.
I am picking orders, cornerstones and blueprints that I otherwise would typically not in the same situation under normal game rules and having to prepare for a potentially longer game with sometimes less options to complete orders and gain reputation.
It's refreshing. So far up to P5 without a problem and Forbidden Glades are not that scary on lower Prestige levels but ofcourse RNG plays a part in what Forbidden Glade event you get along with negative forest mysteries.
Farming has been very useful for me as I am restricted on the amount of glades I have access to and hence resources
I am not sure how it is going to work out from P15 onwards but going to be interesting and will give it my best shot.
