English:Bad Teeth · Locations

A Holy Nation town guarding a mountain pass between the fertile valley of Okran's Pride and the hostile wilderness of the Skinner's Roam. One of the two starting points for the Holy Nation Citizen start, and one of the most flag-swappable settlements in the game.

All heretics will burn in the flame of the Lord Okran! — Holy Sentinel

Bad Teeth is a Major Town of the Holy Nation, guarding a mountain pass with the fertile valley of Okran's Pride on one side and the hostile wilderness of the Skinner's Roam on the other. Its reason for existing is written into the terrain: it is the bolt on the door of the Holy Nation's agricultural heartland.

A town with nothing unique in it

Bad Teeth has one very clear design characteristic: unlike Stack and Blister Hill, there are no buildings unique to this location. Every structure here is standard Holy Nation town furniture.

Its population is equally standard — in FCS terms, the town completely uses Default Residents, with no bespoke resident squads of its own. That makes Bad Teeth the purest available sample of a Holy Nation town: if you want to see how one is laid out, how its guards behave and how its citizens talk, there is no noise in the signal here.

A starting town that feeds you off its gate guards

Bad Teeth is one of the two possible starting locations for the Holy Nation Citizen game start; the other is Stack.

Its concrete advantage as a starting point is this: the Gate Guards frequently kill River Raptors that wander in from the surrounding wilderness, and the corpses can simply be looted and sold. That gives a brand-new, combat-worthless party a steady zero-risk income stream — stand near the gate and wait for the guards to go to work.

TipIf you did not start here, you can find the town by walking to it, or put it on your map by reading the Glorious Holy Map.

Recruits

The unique recruits Bard and Griffin can both spawn here.

The older Bad Teeth

The town carries a genuinely interesting piece of version history: in older versions of the game, the city sat on the eastern edge of the map, and its layout was nothing like the current one — a large number of barracks and not a single bar. It looked less like a city than like a military outpost.

Today's Bad Teeth has three bars and two barracks, and sits in Okran's Pride. The shift from "pure military outpost" to "pass town with bars in it" is a direct fossil of the town being repositioned during development.

World states: five overrides, resolved by priority

Bad Teeth has one of the largest override lists in the game, and the wiki spells out how it is resolved: the overrides are listed in order of priority, meaning that if several world states whose conditions are all satisfied exist simultaneously, the town takes the one with the highest priority.

From highest to lowest:

PriorityWorld state
1Half-destroyed
2Destroyed
3Shek Kingdom
4Kral's Chosen
5United Cities

The list is itself a political forecast: Bad Teeth can fall not only to the Shek Kingdom but to its more radical splinter, and can end up flying the flag of the United Cities. For a town whose only job is to hold a pass, that makes it the first card turned over whenever power shifts in the northern continent.
