The Cults of Chaos - Under-empire cults for chaos (BETA V0.36)

Hey guys Hertz here,
The next update is ready for you guys to play. this update will give you new options for your Norsca Vassals. And a new way your cults will be spread.

The awakened and beaten tribes of norsca who you vassalize will have more use for you as a faction. There is now a new cult type for your Norsca Vassals. This cult will supply you with Norsca units who will be available for recruitment in the RoR panel. These units also will fill some of the gaps in the chaos roster with skinwolves and War mammoth's with chaos shrines.
These cults will automaticaly appear ater you have vassalized the faction.

Next to the new marauder cults, Chaos Corruption in the world will now create cults for you to grow. These cults will appear automatically after chaos corruption in a settlement gets over a set limit.

And last but not least. The algorithm for spawning new units has been redone. Instead of a set amount of turns, your units will now generate faster according to the amount of buildings you own of this type. More information in the Patch Notes below and in the sidebar.

Some small changes next to this are also noted in the Patch Notes.

And that is it for V0.3.
Next update will focus on getting and spawning new chaos armies from your cults, the destruction and fighting for your cults, also a new cult type or 2.

Stay safe stay healthy and enjoy!


Chaos Cults are horrific secretive organizations that seek to topple the civilizations of the world. Hidden just beneath the surface, Chaos is everywhere in the Empire. From the decadent cults of Slaanesh in Altdorf, to the secret temple of Khorne beneath the Imperial Barracks in Nuln, among the plague survivors who turn to Nurgle in thanks and supplication, to the power-hungry merchants making sacrifices to Tzeentch, there is almost no section of society that is untouched by the corruption of the Ruinous Powers. They have something to offer anyone who is not completely satisfied with his or her lot — and that is almost all humans, whether in the Empire or without.


Chaos cults will function like the Skaven Under-Empire currently works.
When a chaos cult is created it will be hidden inside/beneath the settlement.
These cults are focused around the spreading of chaos and worshipping their gods.
The cult is able to construct altars and temples to worship and perform rituals of one of the 4 chaos gods accepting their gifts in return.

As you grow your cult you will be able to create bigger buildings and perform grand rituals. You will be able to mix and match rituals across cults and pick what you want to focus on inside your cult.

While I can't fix the chaos faction in its whole, since its core design is outdated by now. I do hope the Chaos Cults give the player something to do other than move army - check buildings - end turn.

My current plan for this mod is to make the rituals have more impact. And give the player more options to spreading the cults. I would also like to include custom units via the cult.
Here is my to do list *For now*:

• Replace all placeholder descriptions left
  
• Create a cultist hero for spreading cults - Action moved to Sorcerer
  
• Custom Ritual unit unlocks - *Partial*
  
• Custom ritual spells & effects
  
• New research options from the College of Tzeentch
  
• Cults are created by high corruption
  
• Small cult cells spreading with their own buildings

I have more and bigger ideas for this mod I would like to implement depending on if my personal life allows it. But with all these features in the mod I would be satisfied.

With the resent update of SFO I thought it might be a good idea to adress questions about SFO or other overhaul mod compatibility.

Currently it is not planned to make the mod fully compatible since I first want to finish the mod and get it out of beta. Afterwards I want to look at compatibility since I don't know what kind off system this mod will touch and how much it will conflict in the future. I myself am usually playing with SFO enabled so chances are I'll look at it eventually. But I am not promising anything.
