Adolia, the Faceless Memory

Description
Adds Adolia, the Faceless Memory as a playable Elder God, who acts as a mind virus that infects individuals and slowly replaces their memories with itself, until they eventually transform into a physical manifestion of it. Each stage of the game increases the scope of the Faceless Memory's infection as it spreads throughout the world, until even basic concepts and shared knowledge are no longer safe.

Features
  • 10 Elder Powers spread across 7 Seals
  • A unique Adolia agent that inherits your Supplicant's starting trait
  • Heroes and Rulers transforming into noncontrollable Adolia agents
  • An additional lose condition if you lose all of your Adolias
  • An Alliance that can create a temporary cure if world panic gets high enough
  • Multiple random events unique to Adolia and its infection

Extremely cool mod. A memetic mind virus is a cool idea for an Elder God and the execution in game is basically flawless. All of the powers manage to feel unique and don't step on the design space of existing gods. Whereas Iastur is about manipulating heroes them to achieve unique ends, Adolia is about erasing memories (annoying Likes/Dislikes) and polishing heroes to a nub until there's nothing left but Her. Very distinctive and interesting playstyle.

During my playthrough, I always felt the pressure of having to do so many different things with my Power and Agents; infecting and shutting down Heroes who were getting a little too annoying yet not consuming so many that World Panic spiked to insurmountable highs, generating new Pareidolias to build and consume and thinking about how to spread them, and so forth.

tldr 5/5 would play again

Wow great mod! Interesting concept and mechanics, feels like it could be in the base game.

Hey, gotta ask, could you do a detail list of what the seals do and such, on perhaps a discussion like how the bug reports is? No pressure, cheers for the mod.

This mod is great :)

Alright, this should be updated to be compatible with the DLC now.

I'm on vacation at the moment, but I'll update this once I return!

I *think* this mod should work fine with the latest update regardless. There isn't anything the DLC added that should fundamentally break this god, aside from maybe some balancing issues.

I haven't tried this yet but making a 0-cost power that there's no reason not to spam, limited only by opportunity is just creating annoying micro-management for no reason. Please don't do that. If there's a real balance issue that should be addressed properly.

0-cost but with a cooldown might be OK if it's really not worth a Power. Dunno if the UI can be made to generate a Notification when the power becomes ready again though...?

Currently doing a play through of this and loving it. Thank you for making this mod. Definitely one of the creepier ways to end the world.

Can't wait to tell the world who Lila is

@What a save Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'll keep your feedback in mind for a possible future update

@netczar I actually have not read that one. If anything, the big SCP inspiration would probably have been from the antimemetics division hub.
