One single RANDOM event ruined game for silver seal.

[Tearwerk]

This RNG is getting out of belief, one single RANDOM event (stormbird) ruined entire game.
First the retarded Looming Darkness lowers resolve by 16 and then a event that makes storm duration INFINITE before the event is done. People left and boom, instant fail.

My brother in Christ you are in control of the decisions you make in this game. Why did you make this one?

For this reason I hardly ever touch a Forbidden glade (Stormbird can be found exclusive to said glades). They're called Forbidden for a reason.

i believe op didnt choose to open the forbidden glade. they were referring to the random seal curse and there is a curse that randomly summons the nearest dangerous/forbidden glade event to your base.

and yes, i agree with op and can totally relate. that curse is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. its super rng-based and if you get the bad ones there's nothing you can do about it. there's not skill or planning involved, just pure luck.

i got that curse once tho i was lucky and the summoned event was dark gate which was one of the easier forbidden glade events. but i still dislike this kinda of design very much

I believe Stormbird events can only appear if there are Harpies in the game. So if you know you're playing without Harpies this may make Forbidden Glades a bit less scary for you.

Maybe don't do the event during the storm then? Forbidden glade events have a long timer, and even if you let it trigger once it's not an automatic game over.

I think you're misunderstanding something, the Stormbird will forcefully trigger the Storm and Forbidden Glade event consequences are a step up from the Dangerous ones and much more likely to spiral out of control if you're already unable to provide the means to solve them, from the top of my head I can think of

• 25% chance of death when eating
  
• lowered Forest Mystery thresholds
  
• lots of simultaneous blood flowers
  
• explosions covering more than the entire glade
  
• unconditional villager death
  
• and surely some others that can quickly become problematic

Some of these may not be that severe depending on the situation but it seems much less likely than with Dangerous glades.

Actually if so, it spawns during the storm, but the effect will not trigger until long after the storm ends. It's choosing the right side (tame) which caused the effect.

OP should consider left side instead... or use some miracle effects (faster glade work) and sea marrow with the bells (slower villager leaving) until the tame effect is finished.

The scarier one is the one that reduces threshold of forest mystery by 3 and then you happen to have the one where villagers die if they don't have services... (again, you need to use the miracle that lowers hostility by 100 for that season and pray you can get below the threshold)

Crazy. It's almost like this is supposed to be a Rogue game where you don't easily cruise through every settlement.

Thanks, but I know what forbidden glade events are. The Stormbird will trigger the unending storm when it is being worked on to be tamed. If you choose to feed it (empathy option) or just let the event be for now nothing will happen.

Of course.
It's just due to the phrasing of the initial post that I simply assumed that feeding hadn't been a feasible option in this particular instance.
