So does the Covenant do anything that Pledges won't do?

I think they're functionally identical, but the cost of a pledge increases massively every time you do it; presumably you'd eventually get to the point where a single 30-minute pledge costs more to buy than the covenant.

Just buy pledges until you get the two achievements and then either buy the covenant or learn to love the new flesh.

The price of pledges cap at 8^13 cookies (549,755,813,888) after 11 purchases. The only advantage of Covenant over Pledge is that you don't have to keep buying it.

You keep getting Blood Cookies instead of Golden Cookies.

Are blood cookies always the gross clot ones that halve production or can they still be flat cookie bonuses?

You can still get flat bonuses, % bonuses, and the cookie chain (the best bonus), with the downside of clots and flat losses. The math turns out that blood cookies are still very good so unless the grandmapocalypse affects any new content (dungeons) it's probably best not to buy the covenant.

A full cookie chain actually gives you ~7.407 trillion cookies.

Never appease.

Pros: A) like x12 better chance to catch a cookie chain and gain trillions of cookies. B) an awesome x666 cps multiplier that nets you trillions

Cons: sometimes you lose a hardly noticable amount of cookies.

Looks like your cookies didn't survive the cross-dimensional voyage intact. If you lean in close some of them will probably whimper "kill me..."

Not allowed to have nice things
I did some number crunching on Blood cookies/Gold Cookies, Appeasing and Covenent.

-Keeping the grand matriarchs happy means your special cookies are worth an average of 16% more. (edit: actually this just goes up over time, nevermind)
-Assuming you get a special cookie about every 3 minutes or so (seems to be about average for me), the 30 minute appeasement is worth it as long as you are making over 450M cps, assuming you capped the appeasement.
-While actively playing, covenant is not worth it until you are making 680M cps
-Unless I'm calculating wrong, thanks to the cap on appeasement, it is better to just keep appeasing rather than get covenant.

Poor you. Resetting for something that doesn't even really do anything anymore. When you could have just cheated them in, for 'having' them sake.

You just put these in the console:
Game.Win('Sacrifice')
Game.Win('Oblivion')
Game.Win('From scratch')

Marketing New Brain posted:

Yes. You can cheat to get this debug upgrade that makes all research take five seconds. It is 'Ultrascience'

Using the 'inspect element' console thing, this might work. I haven't messed with upgrades:

Since it has a price, you can get it in the store by doing this:
Game.Unlock('Ultrascience')

Sorry that I don't know how to put it directly in. But it seems to be available for SEVEN COOKIES.
When I last checked it was a bunch of nines.

The Covenant should increase golden cookie rate in my opinion. Why spend 6.6 trillion on the "toggle" and take the CpS hit when the 500 billion buff does the same thing? There needs to be an incentive to spend the cookies and slow down your base production other than "don't have to look at the upgrades section every 30 minutes."

I've got 140 clickers/grandmas and 100 of everything else up through portals. Currently at 301.8 Megacookies/S. Not sure whether to pump time machines to 100, bring pointers to 200, or just trigger the elder pact and end it all already. Time machines are the obvious choice for efficiency but my choices stopped being dictated by logic a long time ago.
