Embarkation distance at end of cycle
Near the end of my first cycle, I was in range of a seal, but thought I had enough time to move away for better rewards (from a point of interest), and then come back closer for one last settlement, to be in range of the seal when the cycle ends.

But I also took the risk of upping the difficulty at the same time... causing my second-to-last-settlement-before-the-storm to become my last. I was disheartened to miss my first seal opportunity due to being 3 hexes away to my 2 embarkation range...

But the game just gave me 3 range for no discernable reason! On the one hand, I'm happy for it, but on the other: I'm confused! The path has to go through my previous, in-range settlement.

Seals are the culmination of 10+ hours of gameplay, players should know exactly how to get there.

Was the Seal itself 3 away? If so, that explains it. THe hex NEXT to the seal (Which you actually settle) is only 2 away, and within range.

The seal is like a world map modifier - you can't settle on it directly, you have to settle next to it.

If that's not it, then I'm not sure - unless you just happened to buy the +range upgrade in the smoldering citadel?

It really was 3 range — had the caravan pass through my previous settlement, then go 1 more hex, to a choice of two. I'm quite sure I had no range bonus, as I was limited to 2 range for the previous settlement and took extra embarkation points as its reward.

Now I just ended the cycle and am back to 2 range.

Huh! I've never tried to settle "through" my old settlement before - maybe there's some weird logic there?
But you're right that the rules should be clear.

THAT'S IT

I only ever went 2 hexes away, or 4 with +2 to vision and range.

But you start the game with 3 range — it's just that with 2 vision, you might not notice, or have any use for, the extra range.
