[h1][b]Hello Builders! 👋[/b][/h1] [h2]The last time you’ve heard from us we’ve mentioned the topic of today’s devlog - the Gods. [/h2] [h3]We’ve warned you not to underestimate them, provoke them or ignore your religious duties. [b]Today you’ll hear more about the Religion mechanic[/b] in our game! 🤩[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//39052778/4608f8dfa0fac41b215abb59533cd222f17514bb.png[/img] In the old times, Gods ⚡ weren’t just the creators and destroyers of life, they were also its maintainers. People believed that [b]zealous faith[/b] and [b]showing the Gods their utmost respect[/b] will bring them [b]good fortune 🍀, protection 🛡️, victory on the battlefield[/b] and [b]all the good things one could wish for.[/b] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//39052778/65443a15764c13b799668d8e84f32bc36a9c03a4.png[/img] [h3]Therefore, you’ll have to follow their example. [b]Build temples and shrines[/b] 🛐 near the houses where every now and then you’ll have to offer sacrifices to appease the Gods, win their favors and what’s most important - secure the village from all the dangers ☠️ lurking around every corner.[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//39052778/7b3c7ea7d3aa8b426ae863778e97686a0aabef9d.png[/img] [h3]You can [b]offer the sacrifices during the festivals in the temple[/b]. At that time, [b]head priests perform mystical, 🩸 bloody rituals[/b] for the glory of the God-Kings of the world. [b]The more sacrifices are offered, the more favorably the Gods will look upon your people[/b].[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//39052778/f1a3c47e5803eb860bf42f2f597139ca8ebfb0d3.gif[/img] [h2]In your civilization, three Gods tower over all the others: 🌩️ [b]Chac[/b], the God of thunder, water and plants. Keeper of the four directions of the world 🌑 [b]Ixchel[/b], the Goddess of the moon, fertility and destruction 🌌 [b]Itzamna[/b], the God creator, ruler of the skies [/h2] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//39052778/980d26399d4f47281a7ecfcfef14e643df136c3f.png[/img] [h3]At this point you may have asked yourselves… [b]How will you be able to predict which God needed to be given a sacrifice[/b] to protect your civilization from a calamity? 🤔[/h3] [h2]That’s simple! The most talented fortune-tellers worked together and created [b]the calendar 📅 to help you with your religious duties[/b] and predict which God needs to be prayed to.[/h2] [h3]Ancient civilizations also thrived in [b]astronomy[/b]. ✨ Their priests could’ve [b]predicted the future using stars![/b] Be it a [b]deposit of a rare, valuable ore, calamity 🌋 or an enemy tribe preparing to attack ⚔️[/b] them, stars held the knowledge about all of that. Will you [b]regain this skill and use it to your advantage[/b] while bringing your civilization to prosperity?[/h3] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//39052778/0fa1bce3ff1e526e16ed76f9ecb07e0912550f76.png[/img] Let us know your thoughts about those mechanics!
