Forest Hostility

Overview

Hostility

The forest recoils at the touch of exploitation and destruction, birthing an innate hostility.

The more your settlement grows, the more hostility you will generate. During the Storm, 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 are inversely linked. Higher Impatience results in a reduction to Hostility. Each settlement starts with Hostility at 0, unless playing with the Ancient Battleground Map Modifier.

Triggering Forest Mysteries

Looming Darkness is the "base" negative Forest Mystery that will activate during the Storm even at Hostility 0. The rest of the Forest Mysteries differ from settlement to settlement and always require at least Hostility 1 to activate. Higher Hostility levels activate stronger Storm Forest Mysteries. Some of them scale with the Hostility level directly.

In this situation, Hostility is 0, and only the base Looming Darkness has been triggered.
In this situation, Hostility is 3. Additional negative Forest Mysteries have been triggered and stack with Hostility level.

Why Hostility Increases

Hostility

Viceroys will generate different amounts of Hostility depending on the Difficulty they embark on. Viceroys can see what is currently causing their Hostility level by hovering over the eye icon on the top of their screen. Total Hostility is the sum of each amount, and each amount is the result of multiplication. These numbers scale with Difficulty; more hostility is generated at higher difficulties.
