Hostility



= Overview =

The forest recoils at the touch of exploitation and destruction, birthing an innate hostility. During each Storm Season, stackable Negative Forest Mysteries will trigger, each generating different negative effects depending on the Hostility level a Viceroy has generated.

Hostility and the Queen's Impatience is inversely linked, the higher her Impatience, the lower the Forests' Hostility level will be. Each settlement starts with a Hostility Level of 0, unless playing with the Ancient Battleground Map Modifier.

How to Increase Hostility
Viceroys will generate different amounts of Hostility depending on the difficulty* they embark on. Hostility is generated as follows:


 * x* Amount for every year played.
 * x* Amount for each Small Glade opened.
 * x* Amount for each Dangerous / Forbidden Glade opened.
 * x* Amount for each Villager in your settlement.
 * x* Amount for each Woodcutter currently assigned to a Woodcutter Camp
 * x* Amount for any other effect (Negative Cornerstones / Events)

(A difficulty modifier is applied to the amount of Hostility generated, the higher the difficulty, the more hostility will be generated)
