fun fact - if you have two different obstacles to overcome, both of which can be fulfilled by a permanent card like a skill or a hideout, you only have to submit it once this means you can merge the highest trivially-amassed Secret Histories from the stag door with just a glimmering and morland's shop, into unresolved ambiguities

The research passed anyway, giving me what I needed to complete The Work Cute! Feels like it makes that hideout and others like it more powerful than the others absolutely, but I haven't thought that all the way through yet

i think disposable cards are used up, but permacards stay. this may not in fact be intended behaviour and yeah the one you don't need to get by doing an expedition is easily the best hideout if you do a lot of exploring and encounter a lot of curses and your rear end in a top hat idiot cultists can't succeed at a goddAMN 90% CHANCE IDIOTS. three minutes and basically all your verbs and you have enough heart influence to fend off anything but Nowhere

Gonna start a new game tonight--a standard one I think, Forge cult pursuing Power, before I try any of the DLC or Apostle runs. Now that I have a good idea of what I actually need to do and what's just spinning plates for the sheer hell of it, could be fun to try to beat it faster. (edit) mechanics spoiler i guess but lol  "god drat it ciaphas at least stop shaking before you try to Brand me  "sorry laidlaw

I decided to try a Cult-less run. Still working on it, but only realised after buying out Morlands than I have no HQ because I have no Cult! Going Power for ease of play. I guess Dancer is pretty doable though. Edit : Also a Calgine ate a Reason on a failed summoning. I feel like a chump.

Yeah. Can't get any prisoners though (I thiiiiink). Map's Edge is more useful than Sunset, but you can also work commisions and use spinitrae as ingredients. And a Bomb Maker can fix things things (not sure about a summon though). EDIT : I actually healed Hirelings. Had a 7 edge 2 knock guy, but welp, timers

Dancer start Moth cult is basically as fast since you get the free moth doll right at the start, and Viennese Conundra (6 moth lore book) is purchasable from Morland's.

Failure to do so will return your Lores to you unchanged. Yea no, none of that is in my game. I’m fully updated with perpetual edition

I was going to suggest you could use an Edge hireling to kidnap a stranger, but that requires a cult to give the instruction. Welp, no Spider Door for you. Or Lantern ascendance, I guess.

Do follower aspects (or something else) affect generic Explore results? I could imagine something like Heart cultists leading to more hirelings but it doesn't seem to be that way?

Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:who you send out to explore, or what lore you talk about, matters not at all Thanks! As said, that's how it seemed but it's good to have a confirmation. A funny-if-feature-creepy concept would be different lores bringing hirelings/followers based on the "which cult do you belong in" chart posted way back.

Ciaphas posted:also wowee zowee is exploration ever rear end when all you have are a few believers and one forge disciple There's a definite phase in the game between "unlocked all the verbs" and "gathered enough followers to actually tackle exploration". I kind of wish the low-level vaults had lower requirements than the high-level ones, rather than just fewer distinct challenges. It makes all the various levels of vault feel pretty samey, up until you've got four challenges ahead and you need to scramble to get enough aspect and enough funds before those challenges come up.

Is this the last major update planned? I'm at 130 hours played, and I'll probably pump another 50 into this after the 30th. I paid $15 or whatever it was for the Perpetual Edition when it came out, and oh man has it been worth it.

I made an early joke on CS' twitter when they announced Library Game that Teresa should be one of the "problems" of the game, occasionally wafting in and rearranging a bunch of books according to a different History's organizational system.

Maybe you can make your catalog system work with multiple histories at once. I wonder how much like Wilmot's Warehouse this game is going to be. I get the feeling the new DLCs are going to make me want a streamlined mystique system more than ever. God, just remove the timer and let me stack them like money. Or give the mystique "deck" a timer so you lose one from the pile every couple minutes, I don't care. Paintings should not yield 17 cards. Has Weather Factory said anything about this? I love this game so much and it's only getting better, but some elements are still unnecessary.

I have no idea how it would work on a phone. The cards in Through the Ages are already too small, and you'd need way more cards onscreen at a time for this.Inexplicable Humblebrag posted:she signs her books, which you can arrange beneath your bookshop hq, and this is important Can you keep the books after reading them if she signs them?

So the Steam achievements for Cultist Simulator updated, spoilers about victories below: Looks like there's (assumedly minor) two victories for Knock (one for Mother of Ants and one for Mare-in-the-Tree), one for Winter (Elegiast), and one for Nowhere (Crowned Growth)

Depends on the problem you're having. Do you keep dying, or do you not know what to do after a certain point? e: And while we're at it, can anyone tell me why it keeps crashing on startup even after I update my PC and reinstall the game?

I can't get past the Weather Factory opening screen anymore, though I was playing it this morning. I think it crashes when it tries to load the main menu. Maybe it's the new achievements? Is that even possible? But I've updated my PC, reinstalled the game, verified the problem isn't Unity by loading another Unity game (I've had that problem before) and now I'm out of ideas. I'm about to submit a bug report but is there anything else I should try?

Try dreaming with different lore of 4 or higher, unless you haven't found any ways, in which case you'll want to dream with passion and other forms of lore.
