God: The Living Void

Overall this is very much a "one and done" God. You have one gameplay loop and you play it on repeat for 400 turns before you start spamming your final power until the map is dead. I would consider changing how Reality Anchors work (maybe make them more powerful in localized areas instead of global effects, so the player has to work to break down the Anchors if they are near spots he wants to release void at) to make the game at least a bit more interactive, because right now they just plain don't impact things enough and you're better off just expanding your tears and making flytraps for heroes rather than ever waiting for the cumulative effects of the growth to have any impact

I wish the Reality Anchors worked differently because all they functionally do is slightly slow your whole gameplay globally with not much opportunity for counterplay given the sheer agent focus you need to pour into getting your voids up. You're simply not going to do much against a series of Reality Anchors opening up on the other side of the map. Maybe you'll throw a plague in the middle of the map and try to have it keep pace with the Awareness spread so cities will be too busy and poor to worry about Reality Anchors, but the majority of the time I just completely ignored them because they didn't impact anything enough.

No flame but I honestly didn't have much fun playing as this god. It really felt like the entire game was just spending 400 turns setting up to spam your last Power and just plunge the whole world into darkness, which is something of a power fantasy I guess, but it just felt really boring because turns 1-400 were all the same; hard focus one city to establish a void, interrupt heroes as they try to stop you as you expand it as quickly as possible, repeat. It gets especially dumb if you use the Spellbinder with her permanent disruption talent; just bring a bundle of void stones to any province you want, get an expensive enshadow off or blast it with destruction, open your tears and start spamming expand while the Spellbinder spams Disrupt traps

@SnickeringSnaussages Shadow doesn't grow over time, just like in the base game. The power in question is just a "less effective, infiltration-free" Enshadow. Also the Great Wound, shadowwise, is suppose to behave like an elder tomb. The nature mod just makes the wilderness more enshadow-able in general.

Also, that nature mod is pretty sweet with this one since I think the great wound isn't an elder tomb, and just blasts shadow to the wildernss

I might have a fundamental misunderstanding of shadow, but I sacrificed two stones to get a location to 30% and it stayed there. Why wasn't it growing?

Thank you for letting me know my man, I should have thought to check there!

@SnickeringSnaussages It's already fixed, look at the change notes.

or "patreon" or "buymeacoffee" or whatever the current one is

Bro just drop a link to your paypal or something and a few people might give you ten bucks to fix this
