I think I'll save edit to reduce my hunger. By the time I noticed it's a thing I am already at 7 marks. Winter Cult Work. Tangentally to Verviticus Knock is powerful because : You can subvert any other lore into knock. Also remember you can split lores down with reason. Not often useful but there. Trying to summon the big boys with influence primary is madness. Things to consider :- Restlessness. + knock disciple + rank 8 Lore or tool. More expeditions! You do know there's like 5 places at each level before you hit the repeating one? EDIT : My default for studying is Library, Silent Intensity and Open Soul. Still have to get glimmering so there are reasons for other setups, and it means no secret HQ but makes combining maps much easier. Tylana fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Jun 5, 2019 |

Never forget that cult initiations/promotions can eat a fascination too as long as you have enough of your cults aspect in other areas. I always keep a few uninitiated pawns to eat fascination if I'm in a pinch.

I'm sure people ask this all the time, but is there a mod or cheat for the early game stat grind? I like the game, but having to go trough that each run makes me not want to play it.

Just use notepad to open the save file (it has shortcut in option) and search for the stats. Everything is basically in plain text.

are you using a winter disciple promoted from a pawn? they have Edge and that might be throwing off the cult action. You want the two named winter disciples; they definitely go out killing rather than abducting

I figured I'd poke Detective again and have just gotten two generic Edge coloured troublemakers in a row... Wait, my last run had no cult because I was doing the Dancer anti-victory. Doh.

So, I know that some folks in here have been messing with the ARG/Enigma stuff. The folks in the official unofficial discord recently got the official OK from Alexis and crew to share the lore that is hidden within the ARG (in large part because many of the participants had very, very mixed feelings about hiding important bits of information). They were asked to strip any elements that might help with actually progressing in the ARG, and Enigmatics went to work compiling a lore documents for those who might be interested. This does mean, however, that there are still a few minor secrets that are being held back, but they are very, very inconsequential in the grand scheme of things and I do want to stress how minor those few secrets are, while I obviously would love to encourage everyone to participate in the ARG because its a lot of fun, its understandable that it's not everyone's cup of tea, so you really don't need to feel like you're missing anything of note with those few secrets. They're mostly just names. Anyway, this obviously comes, of course, with a ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING! Part of the fun of the ARG is uncovering the lore payloads after all, but I'm posting it here to share out. ((Being one of those folks who thought hiding lore is pretty seriously uncool.)) So, here it is. Enjoy. https://docs.google.com/document/d/187XXHTdm5_C6fS0tzTe031uQyu1AHZbQ65QdE0oaMz8/edit

Huh, I just got Fascination from painting. I didn't know that was part of the changes too. That ARG stuff is interesting, though as opaque as everything else in CS. Interesting insights on the worms, though.

Tenebrais posted:Huh, I just got Fascination from painting. I didn't know that was part of the changes too. That’s actually always* been there, it’s just rare and only happens when you produce super-high quality work which you probably don’t do very often, if at all, since super-high quality work isn’t how you earn money. * - always = “for as long as I’ve had the game”, at least, so at least since the humble bundle deal Incidentally after doing Ghoul I turned around and did Priest and it seemed like the exhaustion mechanic on painting was gone? I still got overexposure cards but my painting skill didn’t accumulate the counter influence. It didn’t terribly matter, I made ~200 funds with Glover & Glover and then cruised on that until I won, but did they go back on that mechanic?

You might have just missed it? The overexposure cards only actually come out when the aspect is removed from your skill card. Edit: Today I learned Port Noon Anecdotes are Unique and if you get a second one it overwrites the first. Don't make my mistake kids, use it or lose it!

Does anyone know if Hydra can recruit rivals? Collecting all the detectives (IIRC recruiting non-Douglas got added?) seems like it'd be a fun use of all the spare tools. Trip Report : It works, but you can still have Grim Idealists so I ended up using debug to -1 +1 detectives. And there's still a bug where one outcome makes them Grim Idealist Tenacious all in one go when the text just says Grim Tenacious. Also there is a window whose box text is 'King Crucible? Really?' but you can't click start. Tylana fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Jul 3, 2019 |

There is a player on CultSim discord who managed to get every Exalt-level follower (detectives and non-detectives alike) in the same game without using the console.

It'd take some dedication. You'd need to build up enough resent on each to make them a rival, then let it fade, then re-recruit them.. which I guess as Mirrors are infinite from the right places is possible?

That's what it says if you're thinking about the stupendously stupid idea of summoning King Crucible after you ate him. I mean, it probably should let you, and then have bad things happen.
