      Hell, having them die naturally, burying them, and then doing the funeral ritual is a great way to boost faith. Especially if you upgrade the burial plot to a tombstone so your followers grieve. That boosts it a bit further.

      It seems like a good idea on paper, but, honestly, grass eater is very much a short-term solution, and becomes moot once you start farming and especially when you get cauliflower seeds. I find the cannibalism Doctrine far superior because Ascension and Sacrifice gives you follower meat, and the cannibalism meal has a 75% chance to stop a Follower from dissenting.

    One thing that’s kinda annoying is that if you have 8 followers and 8 sleeping bags. You’ll lose faith if you try to upgrade one of the sleeping bags to a shelter.. since the game registers that you no longer have enough beds for your followers until you finish building the shelter. Normally it wouldn’t be a problem if you have a high faith level but it can cause issues if you’re already Low on faith as you can have a cult member start dissenting.

    • @WhirlyBeepBoops

      Huh. Sounds like, if I find myself with as many sleeping bags as I have followers and want to upgrade them, I'll have to remind myself to make a separate shelter/ninth bag before beginning the upgrade process. (Haven't played yet but am interested, and feel like my logic is sound)

    I’d love to see a way for the followers to make their own food, probably at a reduced rate regardless, but have to go down an upgrade path for what recipes they can use.
    This way, you can go out in the longer crusades when you’re critically low on resources, or when you need to grind out specific resources like crystal or webbing, things that you can only get while out and about.
    Maybe also have it that they only use the resources that are in a specific chest, again to ensure that you don’t just leave them to their own devices for to long.
    Finally, and *SPOILERS BTW* only have this upgrade path available AFTER Heket, so that the points where she makes your followers starve is still impactful to the player

      Mushroom Ritual is ridiculously broken. It keeps followers at max happiness for two days. Make food a bunch, to fill up hunger meter. Make food more after it's full even if followers aren't hungry. Then just pop Mushroom Ritual and go your merry way. Only drawback is if you come back to bunch of dead followers, bunch of vomiting ensues because how game makes old followers die in middle of crowd. Followers start to vomit and get sick because apparently they like to self inflict sadness and sickness by watching a rotting corpse... Worst I had was 6 sick followers at once for this exact reason.

      @Thy_Punishment_Is_OOF Рік тому +8

      There's a ritual that allows them to not eat for 2 days and a ritual locking the meter of faith for 3 days. That should help to go on a longer crusades. Also you can become pretty rich is you have a ritual that basically robs every single follower. It costs quite a lot of bones, so you should aim for an upgrade that reduses cooldown and cost of rituals.

    Small combat tip I found is that dashing cancels all attack animations, but attacking cancels the dash animation. This means you can attack dash and attack again in a very short amount of time. I found this really helps with the axe and sword weapons, but doing it with gauntlets is shit and the dagger sometimes doesn't have enough range to follow up.

    One thing you haven't mentioned aswell is that when you're new there's a stage where your followers are less likely to dissent against you and they're easier to maintain, it's a really good idea to go on as many crusades as possible in the first area and recruit as many new followers as you can before progressing to the next stage but don't immediately indoctrinate them because they actually join a very long queue when you save them, I believe it's a good idea because it provides a way of indoctrinating more members while you also work on the base and that way if you have them queued up you wont need to worry too much about crusades for abit and it's fairly steady as long as you only gradually indoctrinate

    Here is some mistakes l learned when l was playing on the hardest difficulty.
    Mistake 1: Do not play on easy mod Why? Because you will less likely never face those issues and all of sudden when you want to play the game again, on more harder difficulty you start to face the problems and might even lose the run when you're not prepared for it. Including less HP, more punishing cult faith, and so on. As it says it's "Easy", so you will not be prepared for the harder difficulty setting when you want to play again.
    Mistake 2: Demon possession does matter! When you're on the hardest difficulty you really need to pay attention to level up your cult members, but pay attention to what type of demon they will become, if you have wasted all your time leveling up the wrong follower, it is just more boring grinding later on when your stuck and can't go on because your followers are too low level and can't give you enough boost to win the boss fight.
    Mistake 3: Picking the right cape and bonuses on the Crown abilities. It's very important when playing on a harder difficulty, because of the lack of hp, you can't offer to get hit as you only start with 1 heart, making early game choices very important, or get a slap to face by taking the wrong Crown ability and now your stuck because of your bad choice of ability
    Mistake 4: Bones... MORE BONES!! Always sent your cult members to collect bones whenever possible. You gonna do a lot more rituals to keep your cult faith up and high.
    Mistake 5: Giving wrong people, wrong gifts / Items. Dear god, pay attention to your follower's traits. So you void giving person who gives you less praying power an item who boosts it because it just going to waste, try to manage your cult member's that way you have workers and prayers. In the late game, this does not matter too much but in the early game, it does matter a ton

I noticed in the tarot card room, after playing for a while, a stack of cards appears to the left side of the tarot card man. You can walk up to it, pay gold and pull again. It has a little cool down. So you’re not ‘supposed’ to do it more than once, but if you find it, pull it, play the whole area, and come back, you should be able to do it again.

    If I was a guide-doing youtuber, I would 100% do a guide on how to use doctrines. I think a few of them have sneaky sorts of uses that aren't immediately obvious, and a few have synergies that are really good to know about ahead of time (e.g. Murder and Good Die Young)
    For example, tonight I'm going to try to build enough prisons to incarcerate my whole cult and see if that makes it so I can go on a long crusade without them starving or losing faith or pooping everywhere, because I have the Original Sin doctrine so there's very little cost to doing so. Dunno yet if that's going to work, but I'm like 85% certain that followers don't lose stats while they're imprisoned, and Original Sin (effect: followers only lose 2 faith when you imprison a non-dissenter) is one of those "but why?" doctrines.

      To update, I've done some testing and got some...interesting results.
      I have a pretty new save, where I had 8 followers. Of those 8, I put 6 in stockades, sent one on a mission, and took one with me as a demon while I did a re-visit to Leshy's area to kill 3 bosses. When I left, the base was clean and hunger was 80%-ish. Notably, I have no beds in my base--I don't feel like 20 faith a day is really worth the cost of them early game, and only build them for quests/diseases.
      I was gone for around 3.5-4 days. When I got back, everybody was PISSSED (actually zero faith in the meter), but the disease meter and hunger meters didn't show any difference. My missionary was patiently waiting for me to collect his spoils and the follower I demonized IMMEDIATELY became a dissenter.
      Giving out blessings increases faith by +5, so I started to methodically go through and release/bless all my imprisoned followers. Except, as soon as I released any they would instantly show the beginning stages of starvation. So, after that happened once I went and cooked some meals and THEN started releasing everyone and blessing them to get my faith back up.
      The missionary was fine other than normal post-mission exhaustion. Only my demon-follower and the missionary got any exhaustion debuffs.
      I suspect my real issue with faith is the lack of beds--even though they can't use them, you still get a faith hit from followers if any of them are homeless. I don't know if there was additional faith hit from the long-term incarceration past the -2 from initial imprisonment.
      Also, nobody actually starved to death but everyone was veeeeery hungry, making me think the prisons don't freeze the follower stats but do put a lower bound on how hungry they can get.
      I'm going to try again tonight, after first building some more sleeping bags/prisons (I got four new followers on the long mission) to keep people from getting angry due to homelessness, and maybe mixing in some time fishing and knucklebones to see just how far I can push them. I'm also kind of curious as to whether the sleeping bags themselves will ever collapse if nobody uses them...

    And I had the game lock up twice today while talking to a follower. I can still save and quite. But I'm locked in the talk menu basically.

    While watching the video, I noticed that the gameplay footage has some of the followers working on the farm themselves. I have the farming building that allow them to do this, but in my game, there’s no command to task them with doing it like with the wood and stone. Is my game broken or is it something I need to unlock later? I’ve had the seed building full for as long as I’ve had it, and none of my followers do anything with it.

  • @AnnaEmilka

    Tbh I don't find the sermon thing an much of an issue, I've maxed my sermon-acquired upgrades already and I've only finished the second location, so I wouldn't sweat about it. Also doing sermon at night isn't that bd since there's so many ways of gaining faith in the game - not only multiple rituals (depending on which ones you'll choose), but food as well

  • @denisnopeno1671
    @denisnopeno1671 Рік тому +5

    the biggest mistake i made at the start was rushing the crusades because i was too worried about my followers, now i make plenty of food before i leave, and try to make yourself a confessions booth as soon as possible, it's an almost guaranteed level every day for someone.
    and ofc the biggest tip of all, DON'T PLAY THIS GAME ON PS4.
    right now the ps4 version is very very very buggy, when you do cult rituals you only have 6 ppl going in so unless you're lucky you can't do any kind of sacrifice, marriage or assigning someone as tax man without them being in the tent, so if you're a fellow console player during these times try to ignore follower quests, a lot of them are probably impossible with the way the game treats the tent where you do sermons and rituals.

    I have a question, is my game glitched? I had a constant sleepy follower status, it was just one but it was constantly empty and never went up. When I checked to see who was tired none of them were and it kept bringing down my faith I even put them all to sleep and it didn't help, it randomly disappeared after a while but my faith still gets affected by it like as if it's still there. It's made the game harder since I can't really get my faith as high as I want to unless I brainwash them or give them a day off but afterwards it immediately drops really low, I can't really do many crusades because of this and have no idea how to fix it.

Mostly i only go on crusades after i made a ritual on my follower's hunger and faith (i don't know the names of these rituals), so when i come back to my base, everything is the same as i left it.

  • @irregularzero9537
    @irregularzero9537 Рік тому +1

    The only one I disagree with is spending too much time on base. It's legit my favorite aspect of the game despite being more of a action RPG type of guy, but there is one aspect of spending too much time on base that you didn't mention and it's that you can end up burning too many ressources that you mainly acquire during crusades or even food if you have no other means of acquiring better ingredients than berries and you can get yourself stuck with your head barely floating above the water for a while. The most dangerous thing is letting your base fall apart too much which ends up consuming too much of your time so you can't crusade, but not crusading means you can't perform certain rituals and can end up losing tons of money as well and it can become a kind of a loop that becomes hard to break. I think the best way to counter this problem is priorizing the building of ressource farms as fast as possible so you always have a certain flow coming in that allows you to float comfortably even when you're away for a long time and to take time during commune management to hoard as much as possible.

    I never rally have issues with dissenting and dissenters. Old members also arent a issue for me either. I only did sacrifices only when necessary. I normally just bury the old and resurrect them back. I work from the bottom of the list all the way back to the top. 90% of my followers are 100-150 years old. Plenty of food for the elderly AND the more elderly you have the happier your cult is. As long as that trait is unlocked. The morge and pit also allow other followers to put a body away if a member passes while im on a crusade. Ive pretty much gotten my base automated except filling up seed slots, rituals, burials and making food
