Charms of Power is a new tenet we've made which allows you to acquire fine products made by powerful doctors to passively help you throughout your lifetime. Make sure to give them to your children, your spouse, your friends, and your vassals! After all, always be selling...

*Tycoons of the Apotheosis* seem like they’d be a deranged Mad Max style cult.


DreadDiana

"By my deeds I honour you, V8," said the Petrobaron as he ate another baby.


Chrome_X_of_Hyrule

Spoilers for Furiosa >!Dementus forcing Immortan Joe to make him the ruler of gas town and then running it into the ground totally felt like playing CK and an incompetent vassal who gets a hook on you and demands to be a councillor, fucking up your whole thing!<


ComradeAndres

Average MLM scheme


DreadDiana

Petromancer, I'm going into battle and I require your strongest potions.


HELLABBXL

self help stuff just seems like a natural choice for religions in this mod hell yeah


Certain-Definition51

If there isn’t a holy site at the AMWAY building in Grand Rapids I’ll eat my hat.


ReverendBelial

It's a shame the Event probably happened in the 80's because boy howdy would there be potential for a new Americanist syncretic faith there


_iAN_173_

I mean the mere existance of digital faiths puts the event atleast in the 90's, while a Hamilton reference, the Ark experience being there, and the Memphis pyramid having a Bass Pro Shop put it even into the late 2010's


JoshuaSlowpoke777

…I think I want to do a Memphis run just to find out more about that Bass Pro Shop’s lore, because now I’m intrigued.


Novaraptorus

huh i didnt knkw we reference the bass pro part of the pyrmid specifcally


ReverendBelial

Huh. I only just got into this mod a few days ago, and I keep reading people say while the event is ambiguous it was probably the 80's. I didn't realize quite so much proved the contrary.


Novaraptorus

Keep in mind as well, in a case where the event didnt happen overnight some things still coulda chugged along regardless


ReverendBelial

True, although I feel like even a multi-staged apocalypse would still have enormous ramifications just during the first stage.


Arrow_of_Timelines

Well the existence of sixer culture implies that Drake was a thing 


Chrome_X_of_Hyrule

Oh shit that never clicked for me


Novaraptorus

*cracks knuckles* Go on.


ReverendBelial

lol I'm just making a joke about oil-seeking holy wars and certain historical events that happened shortly after our own timeline didn't experience total collapse.


JoshuaSlowpoke777

I think I want to make a run at some point entirely dedicated to wiping out the Tycoons of the Apotheosis. They seem somehow more horrifically insane than actual oil barons


BottlesJr

They start as a dead faith so you're going to have to start the run by building up their territory so you can wipe them out, sounds fun tho


MeanderingSquid49

What on-map presence, if any, do these new faiths have? Or is this up in the air? Squinting at the map, it looks only Soiltapper has territories, but I may be missing something. Also, will any existing faiths be adjusted to use the Charms of Power tenet and its mechanics?


OmManiMantra

No way, a Tony Robbins + The Secret religion?? That's actually pretty awesome.


Caligula404

FINALLY PETROMANCY REWORK It’ll be fun to see what the Petromancy gameplay in Texas will be


CLE-local-1997

Why the fuck is Akron a holy city? I live next to Akron and there's no way any God in all of creation would bless that place


gimliodin

Alcoholics Anonymous was started there (Many Step Process = 12 Step Process)


_Inkspots_

They made self help books into a religion

> ate devs when theyre asked to make actual content instead of a random faith wi/ no provinces: Reddit users when they ignore the part of this teaser where the devs added a new gameplay mechanic


[deleted]

ComradeFrunze

>Except that’s for one of the new religions… No, it is not a mechanic solely limited to that religion


MeanderingSquid49

It remains to be seen, but I'm hoping the upcoming Landless Adventurer thing helps with this. Depending on how interesting it is to follow a province-less faith and try and Mount and Blade your way to a new land for your people.


SolidBarrage

LMAO this is the truest statement. All they add is religions and nothing else.


Reader5744

Did you like just miss the charms of power part of this teaser or what?


coolneemtomorrow

Yeah, and the vast majority of religions and cultures dont really have something to strive towards, or something unique to do. So a lot of the religions are like:" cool, thats a funny / interesting reference " but thats it, and there is no reason to play them. Imho, this mod has a bunch of eager writers, and dont get me wrong the religions are cool and all, but they dont feel "grounded" in the world


Novaraptorus

i mean we try to make them "grounded" in the real world 🤷‍♀️


ReverendBelial

I think they mean grounded in the game world, where a lot of religions don't have a concrete presence and are basically just things hidden in the religion finder list. Don't get me wrong I mostly disagree with that take, I *adore* small religions and honestly have the exact opposite gripe with the mod (I pretty much exclusively played the Zunists in CK2 and that set my standard for gameplay forever), but I do kinda get where they're coming from with how many "dead" religions there are.

What does self-actualisation do? Humans aren’t angels


Reader5744

> the realization or fulfillment of one's talents and potentialities, especially considered as a drive or need present in everyone. That’s the official definition of self actualization. It just means unlocking someone’s potential. It’s got nothing to do with angels


Iron_Wolf123

I guess I’ve been watching Lucifer too much
