Has there been any thought to adding categories for seal reforging, since that mechanic was added late in early access? Categories such as "New Game Bronze Seal" or "New Game+ Adamantine Seal" could make for interesting runs that string several settlements together and showcase more of what the game offers.

I think something like "New Game+ Silver Seal" or "New Game+ Gold Seal" would be a decent way to show off the game in a marathon setting, since that'd incentivize playing on varying difficulties and showing how the game changes.
