Rocky Ravine

Overview

Giant underground caverns siphon rainwater from this strange depression, uncovering lands rich in minerals and ore, yet barren of life. It’s a sought-after destination for both traders and smugglers.

Rocky Ravine is exclusive to the Nightwatchers DLC.

Effects


Resource Hub 		With such a wealth of resources, trade flourishes. Every time you sell goods worth 20 Amber, traders arrive 10% quicker and trade routes become 10% faster.

Black Market 		The Black Amber Syndicate offers its services to Viceroys ready to tap into the riches of these lands. You gain access to a new essential building: Black Market.

Royal Patronage 		To ease the challenge of settling these harsh lands, the Crown has allocated additional resources for your caravan: 40 Wood Wood and 10 Amber Amber.

Black Market

With resources stretched so thin in the kingdom, the penalty for contraband is death. Yet, where there’s a need, there’s a way - the Black Amber Syndicate thrives by catering to those settling in the harshest of regions.

  • In the Black Market, players will find a list of timed offers with different goods for sale.
  • Offers will refresh every couple of minutes.
  • Black Market items have variable prices (the same resource may cost more or less when it reappears on the market).
  • Black market offers can be rerolled for Wildfire Essence.
  • Players can buy resources on the Black Market for Amber or on credit.
  • Prices may vary depending on whether you pay direct or on credit.
  • Buying on credit will result in a payment that’s due in 3 seasons.
  • For every missed payment, the Black Amber Syndicate will kidnap 2 villagers (4 villagers after year 4).
  • Buying goods on the Black Market does not count as trading for the purposes of Orders and Cornerstones.

Strategy

  • Rocky Ravine trees don't yield any Wood Wood. You must aggressively plan for wood usage. Consider using embarkation points on Wood Wood and Planks Planks. Any caravan that has planks as a random bonus is a major plus. Consider taking caravans whose species can use houses that do not require wood.
  • Alternative fuels should be a top priority. Processing Meat Meat or Grain Grain into Oil Oil, and setting up a Coal Coal Mine are all good options. If you're lucky enough to find Sea Marrow Sea Marrow nodes, they should be exploited immediately since they can single-handedly supply your settlement with fuel for the rest of the game.
  • Stone is always plentiful, which means that making bricks is trivial. Buildings that cost only bricks or mostly bricks can be constructed easily without worrying about your building material supply. Excess bricks can be turned into Pack of Building Materials Pack of Building Materials and sold by trade route or directly to traders.
