The Cursed Royal Woodlands

Overview

Icon Biome Cursed.png

Strategy

  • Cursed Royal Woodlands' map generation leaves the densest patches of forest between Glades out of any biome. Use the marking tool for woodcutters liberally to speed up the process of opening Glades.
  • Cursed Battlefield biome effect changes your standard approach in a number of ways:
    • When looking for a Dangerous/Forbidden Glade, consider preparing a second Glade for opening, in case your first one turns out to be a Small Glade.
    • Relative proximity of different Glade types doesn't change in CRW, so you still have a higher chance to find Forbidden Glades on the border of the map.
    • All Orders that require opening Glades and specific Event solves become more risky, since you can't focus on a specific Glade type.
    • All Ruins-related Orders and effects become harder to make use of, since you can't reliably open Dangerous and Forbidden Glades, and they have a higher chance to contain Ruins.
    • Due to CRW map generation coupled with Cursed Battlefield, you have a relatively high chance of encountering a Glade trader in your first 1-2 Glades. Consider focusing on Trade Routes year 1 or simply taking an Amber Amber Embarkation bonus to make use of that.
  • Restless Spirits biome effect also changes your typical decision making:
    • Cursed Ghosts tend to take up Abandoned Cache slots in Glades, so Tools Tools are not as powerful as they are in other biomes - you can't convert them to Reputation reliably. Similarly, Stone Stone or Training Gear Training Gear delivery line Embarkation bonuses are noticeably weaker.
    • On the other hand, Incense Incense and Oil Oil Recipes are more desirable, since you can use them to satisfy Ghosts.
    • Cursed Ghosts can proc Abandoned Cache-related Cornerstones, but you can't count on FlatIcon Loy.png Loyalty solves from Caches. Additionally, it often takes more time to complete Ghosts' tasks compared to just opening a Cache with some Stome.
  • You can use Frogs Frogs' Starting Ability to deduce the location of the nearest Dangerous Glade - as long as the revealed Ruin is not a camp or a Fishing Hut.
