Ah ffs, I did!

Ingenious under fletting. It got cut off.

I didn't really enjoy the way my last faction played. There isn't much of a religion system in the game (that I could find), and it pretty much made the concept of my last race (a Holy Empire of religious zealots) fall flat on its face. So I made a new race, The Ul-Tur Multitude. This time, instead of spreading the word of God, I'm spreading a tree.

So after fudging around with the new Necroid species these past couple of days, I have settled on this for my Death Cult build.



Post-Apocalyptic origin is mostly for flavor, but it does allow you to take Fleeting for basically free. It also gives Tomb World habitability, while not amazing, is still additional planets you can colonize.

Oligarchic, Fanatic Spiritualist, and Cutthroat Politics for a 50% Edict cost reduction. This is important because you'll be popping Sacrifice Edicts as soon as they come off CD. Need them to be cheap so they don't drain your influence too much. Authoritarian also gives bonus Influence which helps with this.

Rapid Breeders and Nomadic to boost pop growth speed in order to fuel the sacrifices.
