Getting started

Feed the flock before leaving

Check hunger before setting out. Cook enough meals for your followers and replenish your ingredients. Once a Kitchen is available, followers can cook, but you still need to queue their meals.

Clean up and treat sickness

Clear waste, vomit, spoiled meals and unprocessed bodies. Send sick followers to bed, or use a Healing Bay when available. Outhouses and Janitor Stations reduce the work you must do yourself.

Watch faith as well as loyalty

Faith describes the state of the whole cult; loyalty belongs to an individual follower. Low faith can lead to dissent. Raising loyalty improves a follower’s contribution, but does not replace looking after the rest of the flock.

Grow at a manageable pace

Rescue followers during crusades, buy them from Helob, or recruit defeated minibosses. Bring in new members when you can support their food and care, then check the cult again when you return.
