Hello aspiring gods! It's been almost 2 weeks since we launched our biggest update yet with "Newfound Shores"! We're now looking forward to our next update: [b]"Righteous Rituals"[/b]! The update is planned for this month! This update will [i]again[/i] bring you a set of improvements and features worthy of your religion. Lets take a look at two of the changes we're bringing in: [h3]Martyrs[/h3] Think your Disciples can convert any who oppose you? Why not convert more by making your Disciples suffer for the righteous cause! Give the enemy a head-start by jeering and striking your Disciples down, and then impress them with a biblical comeback!

The wise will know exactly when they're asking too much of their disciples, and when their devotion will be rewarded. Our design goals with Martyrs is to reward player's insight, and allow you to take more risks for greater rewards. It also makes the Sacraments a bit quicker. [h3]Fervor[/h3] A problem we found was that some player got stuck in a loop of losing and being broken. To address this, we changed carry-over HP into [b]Fervor[/b]. Doing a Mission will cost you Fervor, and being low on Fervor is not good for a Disciple. Fervor automatically regenerates when a Disciple stays home, but old Disciples will have less Fervor!

It will make all players think more about their team composition, avoiding new players to be blindsided by high healing costs and aging disciples. It also makes losing physical battles equally jarring for your planning as morale Sacraments. That wraps this sneak-peek up. We also have more [b]content [/b]and some [b]thematical upgrades[/b] in the pipeline. We can't wait to show them! We're happy with the reception for "Newfound Shores", and are looking to bring you more Godhood! - Greetings from the Monks
