The Sealed Forest

Overview

The Sealed Forest, a biome that unfolds its mysteries only at the culmination of one's journey. To gain entry into this realm and reforge the dreaded Seal, one must amass a requisite number of Seal Fragments during the course of their odyssey.

New complications such as gaining Hostility when felling trees and facing several Plagues whilst trying to reforge the Seal will undoubtedly challenge even the most experienced of Viceroys!

Requirements for Entry

Depending on the Seal type, a Viceroy will need a specified amount of Seal Fragments to enter the Sealed Forest. Viceroys will also need to be within reach of the Sealed Forest with at least 1 year left in the run. Upon entry, Viceroys have an indefinite amount of years to complete this Biome and close the Seal, no matter how many years they had left in the run.

Seal Fragments are earned by Viceorys upon completion of Settlements. Negative Modifiers grant a higher number of Seal Fragments , and has a chance to grant a Royal Resupply, from where Viceroys can choose to receive 5 additional Seal Fragments.

Seal Orders

In order to successfully complete the Sealed Forest, a Viceroy needs to reforge the Seal by completing Seal Orders. All Seals have the same Orders to complete, no matter the colour. It is a race against time to complete all the Seal Orders before the Queen's Impatience runs out. Only one order per level needs completion. A Viceroy need not fill up the Queen's Grace bar to complete the Biome as in other Biome's. A Viceroy cannot win the Sealed Forest by filling up the Queen's Grace bar, once the bar is filled, it is no longer possible to lower impatience levels. Tick Tock!

Plagues

The Seal is weakening, bringing forth several Plagues upon the world. The only way to stop the Plagues is to reforge the seal by completing Seal orders. An example Plague is The Plague of Mosquitoes, which causes global production speed to be 50% slower.

The order in which Plagues appear are random.
