[[File:QHprofile.png|400px|left|border|Seperate QH Profiles]]
The Queen's Hand is a new perma-death mode specially crafted for the most experienced Viceroys. In this mode, players have only one Cycle (92 Years) to reforge the [[Adamantine Seal]]. Viceroys need to have completed the [[Adamantine Seal]] on [[Prestige 20]] to unlock this game mode. The trial is accessible via the Profiles button in the main menu, and contains 3 slots. '''These profiles are entirely separate from your Main Game Profiles.'''
These slots each have a unique seed map. Players '''can only reset the seed if they have won at least 3 settlements''' in that seed - so if they fail on the 3rd Settlement, they will not be able to reroll a seed upon resetting the profile slot.
If players abandon a settlement or fail to reforge the [[Seal]] in time, all unlocks are reverted and the whole meta progression resets. Those who emerge victorious will be awarded the title of Queen's Hand and will be granted a rare audience with the Scorched Queen herself.

This game mode features a revamped Upgrade system, with Viceroys only being able to choose 25 Upgrades for the entire run. Two types of Upgrades exist, Re-Rollable and Fundamental. The Re-Rollable Upgrades will follow a tier-based system explained below. Each Fundamental Upgrade can only be upgraded once, meaning a Viceroy can for example, only choose "Blueprint Reroll" once, and "Cornerstone Pool Increase" twice.

== Fundamental Upgrades ==
These upgrades can only be bought '''once''' per choice of Upgrade. Costs scales upwards with each Upgrade you acquire.

The Queen's Hand is a new perma-death mode specially crafted for the most experienced Viceroys. In this mode, players have only one Cycle to reforge the [[Adamantine Seal]]. Viceroys need to have completed the [[Adamantine Seal]] on [[Prestige 20]] to unlock this game mode. The trial is accessible via the Profiles button in the main menu, and contains 3 slots.
There are 4 Tiers:
* Low
* Medium
* Intermediate
* High


These slots each have a unique seed map. Players '''can only reset the seed if they have won at least 4 settlements''' in that seed - so if they fail on the 3rd Settlement, they will not be able to reroll a seed upon resetting the profile slot.
Intermediate Tier Upgrades are much the same as Medium Tier Upgrades, but only appear in later Rolls to make sure Upgrade options are relevant  to the Viceroys' needs in late-game stages.


If players abandon a settlement or fail to reforge the Seal in time, all unlocks are reverted and the whole meta progression resets. Those who emerge victorious will be awarded the title of Queen's Hand and will be granted a rare audience with the Scorched Queen herself.

List of Upgrades and their Cost:
There are multiple Upgrades that can stack, for example the "+1 Embarkation" appears multiple times, as does "+5 Storage to all Buildings" etc. It is important to note that '''each Tier will have randomized picks within that Tier''' when they Roll. Please note, '''Faction-related''' upgrades will stop rolling after 4 successful settlements.

Viceroys are advised to follow the following guidelines when attempting the Queen's Hand:
* Map out settlements and calculate the years you have for each settlement.
* Treat reserve Embarkation Points sparingly, as you will always find yourself short.
* Do not attempt to embark new settlements on the highest difficulty, look at difficulty vs rewards. Higher Prestige is not always worth it.
* Be very cautious when attempting world events, not all world events will be achievable with the years you have left.
* There are 4 seals per map, when attempting to re-do a seed map, you do not have to follow the same path.
* Don't give any traders arms or legs in a trade, you will need them when you meet the Queen.

Latest revision as of 20:50, 17 July 2024

Only Viceroys who have Reforged the Adamantium Seal on Prestige 20 gains access to the Queen's Hand.

The Queen's Hand Trial








Overview

Seperate QH Profiles

The Queen's Hand is a new perma-death mode specially crafted for the most experienced Viceroys. In this mode, players have only one Cycle (92 Years) to reforge the Adamantine Seal. Viceroys need to have completed the Adamantine Seal on Prestige 20 to unlock this game mode. The trial is accessible via the Profiles button in the main menu, and contains 3 slots. These profiles are entirely separate from your Main Game Profiles.

These slots each have a unique seed map. Players can only reset the seed if they have won at least 3 settlements in that seed - so if they fail on the 3rd Settlement, they will not be able to reroll a seed upon resetting the profile slot.

If players abandon a settlement or fail to reforge the Seal in time, all unlocks are reverted and the whole meta progression resets. Those who emerge victorious will be awarded the title of Queen's Hand and will be granted a rare audience with the Scorched Queen herself.



Unlocked Upgrades:

Upgrades Menu

Upgrade Window

This game mode features a revamped Upgrade system, with Viceroys only being able to choose 25 Upgrades for the entire run. Two types of Upgrades exist, Re-Rollable and Fundamental. The Re-Rollable Upgrades will follow a tier-based system explained below. Each Fundamental Upgrade can only be upgraded once, meaning a Viceroy can for example, only choose "Blueprint Reroll" once, and "Cornerstone Pool Increase" twice.








Fundamental Upgrades

These upgrades can only be bought once per choice of Upgrade. Costs scales upwards with each Upgrade you acquire.

Re-rollable Upgrade Draw Pattern

The re-rollable picks will roll in the following Tier pattern:

There are 4 Tiers:

  • Low
  • Medium
  • Intermediate
  • High

Intermediate Tier Upgrades are much the same as Medium Tier Upgrades, but only appear in later Rolls to make sure Upgrade options are relevant to the Viceroys' needs in late-game stages.

Rolls and Tiers
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
Low Medium High Low Medium High Medium High Low Medium High Medium High
14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 -
Low Intermediate High Intermediate High Low Intermediate High Intermediate High Intermediate High -

Re-rollable Upgrade Tiers

There are multiple Upgrades that can stack, for example the "+1 Embarkation" appears multiple times, as does "+5 Storage to all Buildings" etc. It is important to note that each Tier will have randomized picks within that Tier when they Roll. Please note, Faction-related upgrades will stop rolling after 4 successful settlements.
