Difficulty related to finished settlement rewards?

[Spolings]

Hi all, I just bought this game and so far I love it. I noticed that the rewards (e.g. the bread with which you buy upgrade) scale based on where you place your next settlement. In between 2 finished settlements you get less rewards than when you settle away from your furthest settlement, with one hexagon in between. Is this also related to the difficulty? So the further you settle, the harder it'll be?

Thanks!

the citadel resources you get depend on the difficulty you are playing on and world map placement (you can see how much you are going to get by changing tabs in the caravan window). the farther you go from the citadel the higher the difficulty you are going to have to set, but I don't remember if the rewards scale based on distance. this should be easy to test on the world map

Yep. Harder game gets more bread aka citadel supplies.
The further you go from capital, easier difficulty is not possible.

You'll get less if your new settlement's hexes overlap with the hexes of any earlier settlement because the overlapped hexes have already been "looted" by the earlier settlement.

Smoldering city is surrounded by "difficulty rings" w, when you cross one of these rings, minimal allowed difficulty rises. Apart from this, distance from the city does not grant better rewards, difficulty does.

One thing to note, if you het further from the city, you will get less embarkation points (additional bonuses you can choose when choosing your caravan).

Good answer. Just made up no doubt, but very well made up.

So no, it will not be harder depending on this distance factor you mention OP.

wym made up? they are talking about citadel resources and you don't get those from tiles on the world map already claimed by previous settlements. that's how it's always been.

This is indeed true - when you settle on a tile, you get Food Stockpiles from it and surrounding hex tiles. After winning, the border appears around your settlement and the tiles inside have greyed-out Food Stockpiles icons - they will not be awarded to you again if your next settlement tile directly neighbors them.

you probably just forgot about them. you don't have any use for them outside of the forbidden altar once you get all of the unlocks.

It matters only early game, after I unlocked better embarkation range I was completely unaffected by this anymore. But yeah, early game you need to try to optimise your reward taking this into account.
