Why stop with 3? I want them randomly being part of my town.

I wish there will be an update in this game and the dev would just say, fuck it! we ball, you will get random species. You want harpies, frogs, humans, bats, foxes, lizards and beavers in one town,Yo gotem!

Sure start with 3 species on embark, but the newcomers you will take or the camps have mix species.

Bats can exile them for all I care.

It's just weird that "Hey you know that town, they only accept Humans, Lizards and Foxes... they hate Harpies like you bitchin in the camp"

or when you stumbled a camp "hey we are exactly 3 made of Human, Fox and Lizards, well we used to be 4 but as you can see we already rostin the harpy coz we're starvin"

Please give this to me!

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!

Hey all, someone on this reddit recommended me this cheatsheet a while back and it's been super helpful. I recently bought the expansion for bats though, and unfortunately that cheatsheet doesn't have bats included.

Was wondering if anyone had recommendations for something similar and more updated

To be clear, the 3 blueprints not picked cannot be chosen as embarkation options, will never show up in blueprint offerings and will never be sold by traders. They can still rarely appear as ruins in glades. The small versions of these will still be available to build as normal.

The one blueprint chosen will be unlocked automatically in every settlement and not use up a blueprint choice nor cost any embarkation points.

I am using the Hooded Horse wiki which said that there are three options for the first level, the third being chest of farming tools. It was missing. Is it a citadel upgrade to the beacon tower thing or what? The other thing is do y'all have any beacon tower related strategies? I read about using the level III ability to increase event speed but that's about it.

I know for sure I'm playing at P1 and I think I'm on the silver seal. I'm not really struggling so I will keep going up in difficulty. I like the game a lot and have very well gotten my money's worth but I am getting a tad bored and have other games calling me. I'm kind of annoyed that I think the dlc is overpriced even on sale but it's okay as I'm still having fun without being a bat or frog but it still feels bad a little. While the graphics are seriously lacking, I love the art style and vibe and it's a phenomenal game. My favorite touch is the home with your Aunt. It's very reminiscent off old pc gaming when a floppy disk was power <3

"Dude, where did I leave my farming tools?"--J. Bridges

Hello. My strategy so far was to open 1-2 small glades year 1, mostly to clear close space around heart/warehouse. And beggining year 2 to open dangerous glade.
I realize that opening it asap leads to better choices from blueprints, so I would like to try open them sooner, however Im afraid of dealing with events I wont have resources for
How do you deal with it? How often does that happend to you? Do you need to call traders several times? Do you even do it on P20 ?
