Overview

Impatience.png

Creating a successful settlement is a race against the clock. The Queen's Impatience is this clock. Her Impatience will increase every minute. When Her Impatience reaches a maximum of 14 points, you lose or go into a Last Stand.

Gaining Impatience

Impatience Bar

The red bar on the bottom right is Her Impatience, it will increase by a certain amount every minute. Viceroys can see how fast it increases (Queen's Impatience Speed) by hovering their cursor on the skull icon.

Base Queen's Impatience Speed is 0.255 points per minute. All of the Queen's Impatience Speed values get rounded down in the UI to the second decimal.

When a Viceroy gains Impatience, they will see the Forests' Hostility go down. This is because Impatience and Hostility are linked. Every full point of Impatience gives -15 Hostility, up to -210 Hostility at full 14 points.

Viceroys can make the Queen mad and increase Her Impatience by:

  • Calling a Trader
    • First Trader Call raises the Impatience by 0.5 points. Every subsequent Call doubles the previous amount
  • Assaulting a Trader
    • Results in 2-3 Impatience points depending on the Trader, plus some Impatience from villager deaths
  • Having villagers leave or die
    • Every villager that leaves or dies raises Impatience by 0.3 points
    • On Prestige 20 the penalty is raised to 0.8 Impatience points

Reducing Impatience

The only accessible way to reduce Impatience is through gaining Reputation Points. By default, a full point of Reputation lowers Impatience by the same amount. Prestige 14 reduces Impatience decreased per Reputation point by 50%, to 0.5 Points.

The only other way to reduce Impatience in the game is a Perk you can buy from Alune Soulgazer, one of the glade Traders, or get from a big Dullahan Warlander Mystery Box:

1 Perks mentioning 'Badge of Courage'.
PerkRarityDescriptionSource(s)Price
Badge of Courage Badge of Courage Epic A famous Viceroy emblem passed down from generation to generation. Discovering a glade during the storm lowers Impatience by -0.5.
  • purchased from a Trader
28 Amber


Slowing down Impatience

There are several ways of slowing down Impatience, these are:

  • Upgrading the Obsidian Archive in the Citadel Upgrades. Each upgrade reduces Her Impatience rate by 2%, up to 36%. A 36% reduction to base Queen's Impatience Speed sets it to 0.1632 points per minute
    • With both a Human Firekeeper and full Upgrades Queen's Impatience Speed is lowered by a total of 61% to 0.09945 points per minute
1 Perks mentioning 'Frequent Caravans'.
PerkRarityDescriptionSource(s)
Frequent Caravans Frequent Caravans Legendary The Crown is very forgiving - as long as the goods keep flowing. Impatience grows 30% slower for 180 seconds every time you finish a trade route.
  • as a Cornerstone
