Faith Update 0.1 - Changes from GDD v0.01.04

2.2.6 Faith Powers (Techs)

These will use events to trigger a number of effects, from giving extra units, to spreading alliances to creating buildings. They will be sorted by faction, first all the race dependant ones, then all the alliance dependant ones. If it is both race and alliance dependant it will be sorted into race dependant, and then a subcategory for alliance.

  1. If you're going with a more tongue-in-cheek approach here, might I suggest "There will be blood" for Khorne, with maybe some Rocky Horror stuff for Slaanesh? Oh, and as a proud Chicagofag, thumbs up for the Burnham quote.

  2. Expect each of the chaos gods to have more then one power. Pre-reqs will work so that you need powers of that chaos god OR a much higher up power of chaos undivided to get any given prayer. So if the player wants to go all khorne, he gets access to stronger powers sooner. If not, he can get the pre-reqs by going up the chaos undivided branch, and then taking the different rituals as he chooses.

    Something like:
    Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
    +1 happiness in all cities
    +3 happiness in one city

    and

    You're spaced out on sensation, like you're under sedation.
    Gives all chaos units the 'noise marine squad' promotion (remember each unit is an army, a squad from 40k is handled as a promotion).
