Rush/easy win videos

Anyone got short rush wins videos? Most vids on yt are like "season 4/5 win!" But are like 1.5hrs long😅 anyone got like short <30min ones under season 6? Just wanna see the general strats you guys take

Im doing veteran/viceroy now, finishing around S7-8 on average (my prev post here was a wreck, can barely finish a setlement until i opened up trading) but still looking for better ways to do it. My current strat is prefer the stone biome, get tons of stone/heads, then open tons of med/big glades then keep salvaging all the reso until i get too much of everything and win (most of the time, last 2 points and ill still choose reso over submit to citadel juat for fun 😅)

Can I practice without ruining my game

It's been months since I've played and I was in the middle of a titanium run. Can I do a couple of practice games without ruining my progress? I can't even remember which modifiers apply at level 20.

After a crushing defeat on my last Adamantium Seal, I finally did it

I love Against the Storm, I like challenge and the randomness of each settlement, cycle, etc. However, having enough time to do the Adamantium Seal is a real challenge above the normal Prestige 20 games.

I only ever managed to get to the Adamantium Seal mission once before. I dont have a lot of time to play AtS between work and other obligations, so I can do at most 1 or 2 settlements a day. Needing 10+ settlements in a row is a real chore, so last time it took me a whole month of slowly getting though all the P20 games to get to the final boss.

Unfortunately, I rolled extremely unlucky and got the most devastating forest mystery for the final seal: Blightrot Infection.

This mystery turns prestige 20 to prestige 200. You cannot lose a single villager during a storm ever. No one can leave, no one can killed by glade event, nothing. Why? Because this will spawn an infinite cycle of blightrot that will turn your +30x3 Resolve settlment into ghost town.

I would know.

It happened to me.

Every dead villager causes 2x Cysts, unless you have insane levels of corruption protection... this will snowball your entire settlement very quickly. 1 villager dies = 2 cysts, if they corrupt your hearth = 3 villagers = 6 cysts.. which 3 more villagers = 6 mosts cysts etc.

And this was all before the blightrot fighting update where you could upgrade posts to defeat blight rot faster etc. So needless to say during my run when I lost one villager on the 4th phase of the Adamantium seal, which then resulted in a TOTAL SETTLEMENT WIPE. I was pretty much put off from AtS for nearly 2 years.

However, out of sheer will I tried again this last week or so, and without getting Blightrot Infection, I was able to finally beat the Adamantium seal! Was a pretty chill run, had one moment where I had 900% corruption because of a glade event, but luckily with 2x Posts and the one Beacon power that gives +1000 resistance for one storm I was able to squeeze past it. Did have to kill 44 cysts which was very big yikes, but no one died luckily.

Glad its over now, don't think I have the time or energy to do the Queen's Hand challenge, so I will look at finishing my final achievements and then do some fun runs.

gg AtS, and sincerely fuck you Blightrot Infection o7
