It's ironic how normal P20 runs, especially fast wins in Year 4 or 5, seem to attract more attention even though they require much less skill compared to Daily Expeditions or Queen’s Hand Trials (QHT). Players are drawn to the quick, flashy wins, where the gameplay feels smooth and efficient, despite the fact that those runs are far easier than challenging modes. This is why I’ve decided to swi...

I appreciate the longer videos, thanks for taking your time to put out your content!
Thank you for watching!
Bluesky in description, Dan Da Dan is awesome! From next week only 2 AtS videos! Thank you for watching, peace✌
Watching you handle that Destroyed Caravan with such low hostility finally clicked for me how useful keeping the Queen's Impatience high can be. And it only took me 247 hours of game!
Yeah, in normal mode impatience is pretty easy to manage with all the Citadel upgrades unlocked. It’s a 40% reduction in impatience gain speed, which is huge. I don’t play this aggressively in QHT runs. There are a few ways to gain impatience early on, like Traders, and not being afraid to take impatience from events with reasonable consequences. If I wasn’t playing on Sparkdew Crystal, I’d probably let the caravan give me the impatience point and deal with it later when I had more manpower. Thank you for watching Chronos.
I like the Cursed Royal Woodlands, but playing on it can feel like a chore if you stumble into one of those angrier ghosts.
My biggest problem with it is the glade rng, still fun, but you cannot plan ahead for fast wins. 🤠🤠🤠 This game felt pretty good tho, the combo 50% from the hat + 25% from the drizzle mystery doubling the loot, I thought was pretty neat 🤠🤠🤠
The CRW makes me anxious! I tilted several times!
I thought you took the building that makes Tools? Did you have a recipe for the bars I forget? Could have mined the copper ore if you did. Really cool gameplay keep the videos coming cheers bro!
Cheers! Yeah, I was already getting ready using the Smithy to craft tools, but since I got the Scorpion as my archaeology discovery, I decided to earn the last few points of reputation through resolve instead. With all species gaining reputation through resolve at the end, I gave up opening one more glade for a couple of extra reputation points from events. If I hadn't have a way to reach the threshold with humans I would probably still crafting tools and open a glade or 2. Thanks for watching!
Not only it was fast but you also kept Hostility below 2 for the whole game. I need to learn these tactics.
Wood is the only resource in the game that cannot be produced through alternative methods, it only comes from woodcutting. I recommend gathering as much wood as possible in the early game and use to coal, marrow, or oil for fuel as soon as you can, in a way you don't have to use woodcutters and raise hostility later on. In normal mode you don't need that much fuel because of all the citadel upgrades, and don't trash too much wood making purging fire. Just make sure you have enough for housing and decos to upgrade your hearth. "Speedrunners" focus on optimizing woodcutting to achieve consistent 3-year wins by maximizing efficiency (They would move a woodcutter camp after every cycle to reset the time and teleport goods), but their games can range from 1 to 4 hours to max efficency. While I admire their level of skills as a true display of strategy, I prefer sticking to the intended game design, which allows me to enjoy regular Year 4-5 victories without overcomplicating the process. I've never really watched their videos so I don't know about all their strategies tho, the min/max on woodcutting it's discouraging to me.
You are right, I should probably employ my villagers better, specially in the early game. I have a bad tendency to want to fill as many empty producing buildings at once, and just keep the two woodcutters running the whole game.
You need around 200 units of wood for shelters and decos (9 to 11 shelters x 15 wood | 4 parks), plus the wood you would use from plank production if you cannot buy it from traders or pick it as embarkation bonus, plus wood for 1-3 camps (15 to 45) Edit: Honestly, sometimes I wish you could assign villagers to houses. I’d leave species that aren’t contributing to reputation or already have high enough resolve without housing.
You kinda can, but it is finicky. I believe if you keep disabling and enabling the house slot you might be able to at least select what species you want housed.
@@lChronosl93 Yeah, I know that, but it looks so boring to do! Haha. Thanks for the tip! 😊
Yo, what an amazing display of strategic thinking! I usually don't survive prestige 20, but you make it seem like a joke.
Thank you very much! It's just about understanding the game mechanics. Don't get discouraged, I have over 500 hours in the game. Having all the citadel upgrades unlocked is also a big advantage. Try unlocking deeds and playing some dailies. They put you in situations where you have to learn more about the game mechanics and explore different strategies. If you need specific advice, want to suggest ideas for future videos, or have general feedback to help improve my content, feel free to leave another comment!
What is your take on the new biome? I have only played one game so far but the craftable cornerstones seem to vary a lot in utility. I do like the mining focus and the free carts.
I can say for sure that this is my favorite biome in normal mode. All the mechanics blend together really well. Not sure how it’ll perform on QHT since the mine upgrades are locked, but even forging a single good cornerstone from the forge seems more than enough to secure a win. The "Produce XX Rainwater" and "Use XX Rainwater" conditions feel way too strong compared to others, but overall, the balance is solid. The Royal Mining Operation is a bit odd since worse recipes give you more carts. I really wish Coastal Grove was more like this but with a focus on fishing. Instead, Gifts of the Depths feels like such a pointless mechanic.
If it helps but I prefer watching these unedited videos. For me I want to see a full playthrough not just the highlights
Glad someone enjoys this format! Thank you so much for watching. ❤️
I like the unedited format as well.
Glad to hear that! I'm trying to keep the real time gameplay time pretty reasonable. I checked around and yeah many other players are faster than me, but I also saw 3+h gameplay videos!
Let's go to the ashlands!
I am quite looking forward to this update, both the new biome and event look interesting.
I watched the Devs stream and the new biome looks amazing. I just hope there will be more balance fix all around, the 2 cornerstone they showed were underwhelming, and I'm not sure about the new spawn rate of events how does it work.... I'll see tomorrow I guess! Overall, really promising!
Reckless Plunder is one of my favorite cornerstones. And I also prefer this edited gameplay for regular towns. You could save the longer videos for challenges.
I will try finding a balance between the 2. Ty
I really like this new quick edit. I would however recommend not saying "here" at the start of every next event. Also you could have these little "recap" moments during the game itself rather than a talkover and it will feel much more natural. I do like how your explaining every move a lot
Thank you for the feedback I will try improving the quality.!
Thank you for uploading more videos!! Your game knowledge is really impressive. I tried replicating your playstyle but messed up and made the run really hard on me LOL. I cant wait to see your future videos :)
Thanks so much for the kind comment, it really means a lot! Since the 1.5 update is set to release on the 27th, I’ll be taking a short break before continuing the Y4-5 wins across all biomes series. I’m super excited to play the Ashen Thicket. Hopefully, it’s well-balanced! Also don't get discouraged I have 500+ hours in the game, you will get there eventually!
I was wondering why you put so few roads down
Hello! There are many calculations done by the community, and the 10% speed increase is not really worth it since the production speed remains almost the same. Roads (including advanced roads) are only useful in very niche situations, such as when you cannot build a small warehouse near your production site, or you have to deal with the forest mystery that decrease speed out of roads.

Another very fast win. I have to study your playstyle.
Good luck Chronos! How is the audio, I lowered the volume of the music like you suggested. Do u have any other feedback?
It is definitely easier to understand you this time.😅

I’ll be posting regularly more Y4-5 wins. Next up is a Royal Woodland Y4 win, out in just 1 hour and 10 minutes!
Coral Forest is my favorite biome. I really like getting all the different resources, specially stone and crystal dew.
Aesthetically my favorite is Coastal Grove, I like going to the beach and the coastal grove makes me feel relaxed. Mechanic wise, all of them except cursed royal woodlands.
You seem to leave a lot of villagers unassigned for a long time. Is is for any specific purpose? When I have free villagers I always put them in any free gathering building or warehouse.
Not really. I always sell some parts to traders early on but tend to accept orders that give extra villagers, which results in idle workers. This leaves me missing a few parts to build an extra gatherers' camp, leading to some idle workers. Maybe in my next game, I'll try to balance the two better. As for the warehouse, I guess I'm not used to it anymore since it's not unlocked in QHT. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll give it a try in my next game and see if it saves some time.
The worst mistake I made was definitely not rerolling Economic Migration to a better cornerstone! 💀 If you have questions about my strategies or any advice to share, please leave a comment!
Well, it is certainly the coziest and most adorable building in the game IMO.
Absolutely! I just imagine the 3 humans or foxes inside kicking back and enjoying the sauna from the drizzle water. 2x2, 3 slots, adorable resolve machine.
For me, I like playthroughs that connect to each other, so the daily expeditions are the least fun. I like the Queens hand trial the best or would enjoy a new save starting from scratch. In the end, the most important aspect imo is if the creator is enjoying it.
I enjoy QHT, I will do a new run in 1.5 update. Unfortunately the run I completed in 1.4 the audio is not so good, I just recently bought a microphone. Def quitting daily expedition tho, I don't think people play them at all. Although QHT has so low prestige games that people would just skip them because they don't really know how the QHT works yet. Thanks for the feedback!
I think quick wins are more interesting because they feel like something you could learn and copy, and apply on your own games. On a different note, your voice was a bit difficult to understand at times, drowned in the music and sound effects.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll adjust the volume!
I think paths just look neat :D
Same, can't play without them B-) But they really need to fix advanced roads (stones and copper), that's a bit underwhelming.
An impressive fast game. My settlements are usually quite slow, and I am not even on P20 yet. And I am on team paths all the way. The settlement just looks too chaotic without them.
Thank you! Once you know the game pretty well, it becomes easy to get consistent Year 5 wins. Better players can even micromanage woodcutting to achieve a Year 4 win in a game without upgrades. Anyway, P20 with full citadel upgrades is way easier than lower prestige levels without full citadel upgrades, in my opinion. So don't feel discouraged! My other videos in the daily expeditions, where I cannot pick embarkation points, are all Year 6-7 wins. I'm for paths too! I always have idle workers anyway. I don't like too much micromanaging.
Congrats!
Thanks a lot!
