What are the worst location modifiers?

[DG]

Just for fun, what do people think are the hardest location modifiers to play against? I'd say Ancient Battlefield (+150 hostility on P20) and Fishman Ritual site (no orders) are the worst I've seen. Bandit Camp (no trader), Corrosive Torrent (no refunds on destroyed buildings), and Barren Lands (no fertile soil) are proper penalties but you can usually plan around them. Forbidden Lands (only forbidden glades), Untamed Wilds (two events per glade), and Sparkdew Crystals (start with impatience) have high threat but can also be high reward so any settlements that can get a good start should also have a good finish. Frosts (smaller hearth radius), Dangerous Lands (only dangerous glades), Haunted Forest (no marking on glades) are almost no trouble at all.

I'll set Shattered Obelisk (no pause) aside for now as something different.

High prestige ancient battlefield can... there's lots of words for that modifier. Just avoid it. Friggin 150 hostility is basically impossible.

Fishman Ritual is just a bad joke. Complete on P2 or something.

Funny. I won ancient battle grounds twice on p20. and two days ago fishmen ritual one. Also did no trader yesterday.

They're both challenging but not impossible.

Ancient battle grounds can be a struggle to keep up with. No orders can be rough too without rept to get the blueprints.

You can watch my vods on twitch if you're interested. Will export to youtube soon.

Land of greed can also be very challenging. Monastery of the holy flames pretty tough too. Ominous presence is honorable mention.

Ancient battlefield is quite tough (expecially since I aim to keep impatience low), lately I've replayed a bandit camp (after having avoided it for a long time) and found not so difficult (probably got a lucky run, traders are expecially usefulò to fix things when they go wrong), managing amber becomes critical there; I've won one fishmen ritual site run in the past and has been less diffult than I thought, but I'm wary to try it again, expecially on p20, I did the first untamed wilds run yesterday and was extremely easy (got very lucky: I ended with 3 totems and an altar of harmony, ancient pact and flame amulets as first 2 stormeforghed conerstone, then got safe haven as year 6 cornerstone: I had barely hostility 2 on year 6...), Sparkdew Crystal is mostly annoying to me (since my goal stated above is out of question from the start), Frosts can be seen as an edge, actually (it's easier to place additional hearts) while Dangerous Lands is definitely a benefit to me.

I've found Land of Greed harder than I thought while I lately found the monastery easier than it was (just keep always present that you can't ever favour and have to plan accordingly), I hate omnious presence.

I've played (and won) the Shattered Obelisk once (I think at viceroy) and I don't want to play it again EVER (if I can).

No orders from the Queen. Took me 3 tries on P20 to win it.
