The forest recoils at the touch of exploitation and destruction, birthing an innate hostility.
The more your settlement grows, the more hostility you will generate. During the Storm, stackable negative Forest Mysteries will trigger, each generating different negative effects depending on the Hostility level a Viceroy has generated.
Hostility and the Queen's Impatience are inversely linked. Higher Impatience results in a reduction to Hostility. Each settlement starts with Hostility at 0, unless playing with the Ancient Battleground Map Modifier.
Triggering Forest Mysteries
There will always be "base" negative Forest Mysteries that will activate during the Storm even if Hostility is level 0. The most common one is Looming Darkness.
In this situation, Hostility is 0, and only the base Looming Darkness has been triggered.In this situation, Hostility is 3. Additional negative Forest Mysteries have been triggered and stack with Hostility level.
Why Hostility Increases
Hostility
Viceroys will generate different amounts of Hostility depending on the Difficulty they embark on. Viceroys can see what is currently causing their Hostility level by hovering over the eye icon on the top of their screen. Total Hostility is the sum of each amount, and each amount is the result of multiplication. These numbers scale with Difficulty; more hostility is generated at higher difficulties.
These numbers are for Viceroy difficulty level:
80 points × the number of Dangerous or Forbidden Glades opened.
15 points × the number of years since embarking.
15 points × the number of Small Glades opened.
5 points × the number of Villagers in your settlement.
9 points × the number of Woodcutters currently assigned to a Woodcutters' Camp.
Any other effects, like penalties from Glade Events.
How to Decrease Hostility
Viceroys always need to seek ways to decrease the Forest's Hostility level, it can be decreased into negative numbers by escpecially crafty Viceroys! There are several ways to do so, including:
Fox to the Hearth
