Some thoughts:

  • If you're bored of the meta of grinding low prestige Y3-4 runs, it's perfectly viable to go high prestige and aim to win Y6-8. I averaged P14 and 7 year wins here, with all runs P11+
  • If you do it in this way, you don't have to pick up any extra seal fragments. There are just enough years in the cycle to get to 105+. All bonuses can go towards settlement range or embarkment points
  • Taking over a derelict settlement is a nice event, as they start you off in Y3 with some infrastructure, and you can typically finish them by Y7-8, which shaves a few years off that settlement
  • This was my first run since the patch that let bats start with the manor unlocked. Made them way more viable. If you play like me and max population ASAP, the bats give you something to do in ~Y4-5 when you might have more population than you need. The double % chance makes up for the lack of citadel upgrades in QHT
  • Also my first run when I never got offered a hearth upgrade, so had to live without levelled up hearths all run. Certainly slowed me down from my typical tempo play

Looking forward to the new world events in 1.10!
