Plus important encore, ce DLC ajoute unensemble très distinct d'adeptes qui sont tous particulièrement douésavec divers traits qui changent considérablement la façon dont la sectefonctionne.
Il est révolu le temps des cultistes homogènes etinterchangeables. À leur place, les joueurs doivent désormais faire face à une mosaïque complexe de personnalités allant de productives etattachantes à improductives et imprévisibles. Des exemples de ce dernier type incluent les adeptes des Catatoniques, des Maudits, des Dérangéspar la mission et des Poètes ; tous ces éléments nécessitent des soinsspécialisés ou se transforment simplement en ajouts colorés, quoiqueimproductifs, à la communauté.
Il ajoute de l'amour et des relations au mélange, ainsi quedes traits tels que Marié heureusement, Conjoint jaloux, Conjointmeurtrier, Polyamoureux, Malheureux marié, et plus encore. Ces traitsrendent le jeu dramatique et lourd car il faut résoudre des affairesamoureuses. Un mariage paisible sera utile, mais une relationdésastreuse peut entraîner la guerre, voire la mort, dans la secte.
Le DLC traite des complexités de la parentalité, depuis destraits comme Parent accablé jusqu'à Parent fier, d'une manière à la fois joyeuse et terrifiante pour élever une toute nouvelle génération decultistes. Ils ajoutent différentes perspectives et interactions dans le jeu et racontent ainsi davantage et approfondissent la relation avecles membres de la secte.
For those who enjoy a spot of chaos, the Hardened Criminal,Reformed Criminal, Scarred Criminal, and Unlawful traits represent asplash of unpredictability and danger. Such followers are like adouble-edged blade: at times, they might cause you some trouble, but onother occasions, they will grant you weird benefits. Their presence will keep players on their toes as they wrestle to adapt strategies in bothgameplay and management.
Beyond Dramatic and Perilous, the DLC also adds in a slew ofquirky, endearing traits that add depth and character to your cult. This includes followers like Insomniac, Pettable, Excited by Mission,Inspired by Mission, and Snorer. Their presence injects a little dose of humor and lightheartedness into the otherwise grim world of cultmanagement.
Probably the most interesting new element is the Spy follower, who is a double agent to either reinforce or betray your cult. Alldoubting makes things much deeper strategically because now players need to be aware and proactive in counter-intelligence. The risk-reward ofdealing with a traitor keeps players on their toes at all times.
The Unholy Alliance DLC has really raised the standards forcult management simulations, transforming what was once an exercise inresource management into an engaging practice that gives the player afull reward in engagement and strategic thinking through a new cast ofvividly realized, complex characters and their intricate interplays.From one's nurturing a budding poet to mediating a marital dispute,through to foiling a spy, there are endless opportunities forplayer-driven storytelling and strategic experimentation throughout this DLC.
When a new follower accepts your dogma, it allows a player tohave a clear view of underpinning traits. Since most of the traits inmost cases are adverse, it becomes necessary to check the profile ofeach recruit at the induction stage as established in Unholy Alliance.This initial evaluation offers a basic framework for determining themerits and risks associated with a probable follower.
Later in the game, driven by suspicion—a possible spy hiddenamong them—or due to a simple desire for reassessment, players get anopportunity to delve deeper into a follower's mind. The "Read Mind"interaction, symbolized by a thought bubble, offers a strong tool fordiscovering hidden agendas, confirming loyalty, or simply refreshingone's understanding of a cult member. This mechanic thus transforms theplayer from being a passive observer of their followers to a realarchitect of their cult's destiny, making critical decisions in fullcognizance.
