Ceebees posted:Uh, those are both things already. Clicking an empty slot highlights all things it can take, picking up and shaking a card highlights all verbs you can play it on. Right, but clicking an empty slot also brings up two boxes, which might cover up cards. An option to automatically highlight possible interactions just by mousing over would be really great.

I might have completely imagined this but I tended to send pawns as leaders on expeditions because it seemed like when bad stuff happened to people because I was unprepared for an obstacle, it seemed to happen to the first person. They made good bait to save the valuable people.

Pawns are a limited resource, after all. After completing al three ascensions I now just have a list of expeditions and obstacles on hand.

Something I've noticed: Putting tantras into the study tile did nothing, no hint or anything like the books have. When I zoomed in to really look at the tantra cards I noticed that the little symbol on the scrolls looked exactly like the symbol on the card for "sanskrit scholar" so I put that card in with the tantra scroll and it allowed me to transcribe it.

And, first victory. Back on the back - log pile you go. This time I found it pretty easy all around. Though much more tedious since I never found the repeat peacock thingy. Would have been hell if I hadn't run a forge cult. Really, the innovation was to put all the dangerous verbs into the centre of the table as soon as I see one. Now, maybe I'll read all the CIA stuff on the earlier pages. One thing I forgot to try: Can you recruit the patrons?

After playing a lot more (and getting my first Minor Victory, you can probably guess which one) my only complaints are: - Add an option to designate an area where all new cards go so they don't mess up my carefully arranged board (the dev said this is on his to-do list!) - Add a "repeat until I tell you to stop" toggle for things like Going To Work.

Patrons don't need to sell their souls and perform blasphemous rituals; they already have infinite cosmic power, more commonly known as "money."

Yeah, for some reason Sanskrit doesn't have the "this is written in Sanskrit and needs to be translated" popup like every other language, which I assume is a bug. Fortunately, anything named "Tantra" is Sanskrit, so it's easy to tell. Also if you try to research something and it just doesn't work, it has to be Sanskrit.

It's got to be so tricky to get a game like this balanced and working. Like, you can play it for a very long time with no possible win condition and you won't even know you have no win condition and you'll just think it's kind of a shallow Victorian Job Simulator (my wife did this the other day, asking me why it's called "Cultist Simulator" when there's no cult  )

Technowolf posted:Is there a way to upgrade followers whose aspects don't align with your cult's aspect? Cultist' aspect is decided by the individual cultist. You upgrade them the same way as cultist of your aspect, that is, provide the right amount of influence (3, 8, 16? haven't played for so long). However, you cannot level your cultist to the highest level that's outside of your cult's aspect.

No, but the totaled number it looks for is of your aspect type, so the cultist itself may not be providing much and thus may be harder to upgrade.

Alexis you salty dick Going by the beta branch notes followers will get wounded, not die from failing challenges, with the wounds ultimately making them stronger. So I don't think this is just a 'gently caress your certainty' thing, though there might be an element of that.

I wonder if that 10% failure chance applies to curses as well. It'd be a real pain to be moving through an expedition and have to roll the dice on an event that could end your run if you're unlucky.

As soon as you have any lvl 8 lore, or a lvl 4 tool and corresponding lvl 4 lore, you can promote everyone to believer. It is still easier with the follower's principle, as they provide some of the aspect themself. vetinari100 fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Sep 3, 2018 |

I am also not liking the DLC talk when the game isn't even finished. It is a nice bare bones implementation, but it still feels incomplete. That coupled with nothing much happening since the game was released doesn't fill me with confidence. The game is just so close to being good but the rough edges keep me from playing it.

The dev team has a roadmap with 3 major content patches planned here: http://weatherfactory.biz/cultist-simulators-post-launch-roadmap/ Most of the new stuff, especially new game mechanics are going to be free. Only new legacies (starting background) are going to be paid.

I feel like failure chance is okay because of the also-introduced idea of cultists being able to recover from their wounds and actually become stronger and more interesting because of it.

I get what they're going for, I just don't like that I can't just force a 100%. Mostly because I already think a lot of this game is a grind already, I don't want another source of random "oh hey lol do this again idiot". I admit i'm probably in the minority.

I think criticism of the grind is right, actually, at some point the game loses some direction for me other than grinding up to get more tools.
