Introduction
*Haven and Hearth
Any Haven and Hearth players here might remember Personal Beliefs. I can say this system is related to it, but there are some changes/updates to it.
*What's it about?
The purpose of this is having advantages and disadvantages, up to you to decide which one is best.
To achieve this, you'll need to buy a skill (which will be fairly easy to get) and a shrine to bring your offers for the Gods.
Starting off
*The Skill
To start off, you'll need to buy the skill 'Faith in the Gods'. This will allow you to bring offerings to the Gods, build a shrine and craft special offerings.
*The Offerings
Next you'll need to find some offerings which can be a variety of stuff found in the wilderniss, created or even breeded.
For example, you could be able to offer a living lamb (when sheeps are added to the game), a living turkey, rare bones found in animals (such as a wishbone), statuettes you will be able to craft (can include The Golem of Prague and alot of new metal statuettes). Each one of these offerings can be better than others in a way that will be explained later.
*The Shrine
Finally, you'll need a shrine to give your offerings to the gods.
You can either build a shrine in your own church or use the (new) shrine in Boston's church. Using your own shrine will give you more abilities (explained later) and therefor people will be encouraged in building their own church.
How will it work?
*The Satisfaction Bar
When giving an offering to the shrine you will be filling the Satisfaction Bar of the Gods. Harder offerings will fill this bar faster than easier ones.
For example, a turkey will give much less Satisfaction than a lamb or an expensive metal statuette.
Having your own Shrine will give even more Satisfaction for the Gods.
Once the offer is made, the satisfaction bar will start filling itself (same as profiencies), this can take a while, but having your own shrine this will again be filled faster than Boston's shrine.
Same as filling your profiencies, using the same offer again and again will get you less Satisfaction.
*Using Satisfaction
Once your Satisfaction Bar is filled, you will be able to gain one Point in a certain amount of Faiths.
Gaining a point in one Faith will have advantages and disadvantages. Up to you to decide which way is the best to choose.
When you've made a decision, the Satisfaction Bar will be emptied and you'll have to fill it again to gain some more Faith.
The Different Faiths
There will be alot of faiths to choose between, with a max of 20 points each.
If you're using the shrine in Boston, you will only be able to get your Faiths to 10 points in stead of 20. Another reason to build your own church.
*Nature/Industry
Same as in Haven and Hearth, Nature will have advantages in Farming. Industry in Mining
*Tradition/Progress
Haven and Hearth related, this wil grant you more learning ability the more you go to Progress, but you will lose more profiencies when you get Ko'd.
You get ko'd alot and don't bother losing a little bit of learning ability? Then you'll be able to lose only 1 Profience when Ko'd.
*Courage/Safety
Courage will grant you from taking less damage from certain effects on you (like fear/reeling etc.) while Safety will give you more Blood.
*And more!
More to come from you guys and it's all up to the devs ofcourse!
Discuss!
Go ahaid and tell us what you like/dislike about this idea and how this can be improved even more! Maybe give us some more ideas?
Thanks for your attention!
Kind regards, Krikke
