| An [[infestation]] occurs when the enemy gains influence in an [[overland map]] [[tile]]. Thorns will cover an infested tile.

| Every infestation has an origin force. The origin force may be an [[incursion]] army, or it may be a lurking force present at the beginning of the chapter. When you have scouted the territory that contains the origin force, it will be shown as a small coin on the map and also as a square icon at the top right of the screen. (The coin may be hard to notice because it's often drawn overlapping with the heroes.) You can identify which infested territories belong to a given enemy force by hovering over either the coin or the icon, which highlights their territory.

| | |
| Each territory infested by an enemy force adds +1 strength to that force.
| |
| | |
| If infestations are not cleared away, they will spread to adjacent previously-safe tiles.
| |
| | |
| Infestations can be cleared either by patrolling or by assaulting the origin force. Patrolling first is not necessary, but it makes the battle easier.
| |
| | |
| Clearing away infestations earns better outcomes at the conclusion of a chapter.
