On my quest to elevate Cult faction gameplay, I've rolled out a variety of enhancements and tweaks.
Changes:
-Resolved an issue where Fyegrayed's fury barred access to the close menu post-tutorial completion.
-Action Points And Movement points are only wiped when building if you actually choose a spot now, they are refunded if you dont and you can keep moving around.
-Smart Bandits/WIldlife better labeled on skirmish setup screen
-Fixed bug where game changed state even when AI upgraded buildings causing weird stuff like healthbars spazzing out. (They still spaz out sometimes but due to another issue)
-Enhanced AI's tactical prowess in naval warfare, enabling it to effectively exploit ship hard counter bonuses.
-"Mass Sacrifice" has received a substantial boost. In certain cases, enemy units are not just eliminated; they are resurrected as phantoms, which will let you defend your territory a bit better.
-Mass sacrifice can now impact world owner faction. (Republc on novus imperium world age and the corrupted republic on grex tenebris world age)
-Mass Sacrifice can now destroy control points (But will sometimes capture them, so you have to be careful) with great power comes great responsibility.
-Fine-tuned the resource rewards associated with "Mass Sacrifice" to better balance its impact on gameplay.
-Cultists now possess the unique ability to extract additional runes from tiles with the "Ancient Rune" effect, marking another strategic tile effect exclusive to their factions.
