Description

Overview

With the new cult features introduced in update 5.2, cults can become more complex and engaging. This mod adds several new cult buildings and mechanics, aims to provide thematic and useful rewards for engaging with cults, and reworks vanilla cult buildings. Due to the increase in complexity, each dark god's cults will be released individually. Here is the current state of the mod:

- Nurgle: Complete and playable
- Khorne: Complete and playable
- Tzeentch: Development pending
- Slaanesh: Development pending

Features

2 Free Random Starting Cults

After CA's 5.2 update, cults no longer randomly spawn. With this mod, cults may spawn randomly after turns 10 and 20 for a total of 2 free cults. These cults will always be far away from your current territory, and will never be near each other. This lets you interact with parts of the campaign map your faction may not have access to as easily. This feature is configurable with MCT.

Passive Cult Expansion

Magus cults will be able to expand passively to adjacent regions. This expansion creates regular (non-magus) cults. Regular cults cannot expand passively. This makes your magus cults the heart of cult cluster networks.

Establish Cults Skill

Cultists will only be able to establish cults after reaching level 5. This is for balance reasons when taking the other new features into account.

Cults in Abandoned Regions

Cults will be able to expand to abandoned regions and persist in razed regions. This can be disabled via MCT.

Cult Rituals

Cults will be able to set up ritual arrays that, when activated, provide potent and/or large-scale effects. These rituals will require regular cults and magus cults to work together.

Hero Recruitment

Cults may now allow the recruitment of heroes once they have been sufficiently developed.

Beta Testing

There will be a short time between each release where development is in progress without access for beta testing. See the Overview above for information on current beta testing opportunities. If beta testing is available, and you're interested, reach out to me directly on Discord.

@glospey - I can make an announcement here when Tzeentch is ready for beta testing.

Thanks for the update!

BTW: When the Tzeentch cults get to beta, will there be an announcement here for those who want to join or should I be looking elsewhere?

Happy to help. :D

@Steve Kølle - I'm not sure if that's a bug or intentional design by CA, but it looks like that's an issue in vanilla too. Either way, I've updated the mod to fix that, along with some other improvements. Thanks for reporting it.

The Tally of Pestilence mechanic of Epidemius seem to count incorrectly after picking up this mod. Not sure what the root of the problem is, but i dont think it counts plagues made by the cults.
