Fata Deum - The God Sim News

[p][/p][p]Patch 12 is now available on the Beta Branch![/p][p]After taking a short winter break over Christmas, we’re back with fresh godly energy – and we’re excited to introduce a brand-new feature: Hero Priests![/p][p]You mighty gods can now delegate minor wonder-making tasks to especially powerful mortals. [/p][p]Every time you complete a quest, you’ll get to choose:[/p]

• [p]Create a new Hero Priest by transforming one of your believers[/p]
• [p]Or upgrade one of your existing heroes[/p][p][/p]

[h3]Meet the Hero Priest:[/h3][p][/p][p]With each upgrade, a hero can perform more wonders – and they’ll even start hovering to speed things up. Sure, they slowly lose their soul in the process… but who’s counting?[/p][p]Do you care? [/p][p]As always, the choice is yours.[/p][p][/p][p]You can also give your heroes guidance and define their profile, similar to high-level settlement management: Destroyer or Preserver (with more profiles planned for the future).[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]And this is just the beginning! We’re already planning additional features for Hero Priests – like possessing them… or maybe even possessing any mortal? 👀[/p][p]We’d love to hear what you think about the Hero Priest feature and what you’d like to do with them![/p][p][/p][p]On top of that, we’ve added a new drawing ability for the Water Orb:[/p]

• [p]🌫️ Summon a fog of war that hides your mortals and protects them from enemy god interactions[/p]

• [p]🌧️ Or conjure a massive magical rain to grow food[/p][p][/p]

[h3]How the Fog Works:[/h3][p][/p][p][/p][h3]How the Magic Rain Works: [/h3][p][/p][p]We'll show you some more footage in our next news post! [/p][p]Now that we’re fully awake from our winter sleep and have done plenty of long-term planning over the past weeks, all we can say is:[/p][p]Stay tuned – there’s much more to come. 🔥[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛠️ Patch Notes v12[/h3]
