[1.4] Call of Cthulhu - Rim of Madness Expansion Pack (10/21/2022)

[jecrell]

Here's a preview of the Industrial Age (name is a WIP) package.

[Nimrod]

As always, fantastic work! Very atmospheric. I cant wait to see more from you.

[Listen1]

I didn't read the full topic, don't know if this has been suggested yet. But you should remove Cthulhu as a monster and anounce his arrival as a End Game condition. Once he arrives it's game over.

It's better to let him on our minds, remembering that fear is the only thing that shows we are alive.

Star-Spawn of Cthulhu are a race. They are not Great Cthulhu himself, mate. They just worship him and look a lot like him. You are safe. More or less ... for now ...

[Listen1]

Oh, they are just Starpawn. No worries then

Still, I believe would make a hell of a end game condition.

So I noticed that you can tame the Dark Spawn... what exactly happens if you do, given that looking at it gives colonists a debuff?

[TOWC]

I really love your mods, but I've being raided by monsters non-stop. 3 raids per day(4 creatures in average), and I have only one non-bionic colonist to deflect all those attacks. Is it normal?

Dark Spawn cannot be tamed under normal circumstances, but they can be self-tamed at the moment.
We plan to include Dark Spawn as beings you can earn through sacrificing to the old gods in the next pack we're working on -- Cultist Pack.
The summonable version will not give debuffs, and we're still planning its mechanics.

H.P. Lovecraft as a storyteller more than doubles the number of raids and events that happen in your game. You can always change storyteller in the options menu if you need a breather.

I didn't disable ships. So I'm not sure what's happening for you. Anyone else have this problem?

He is actually a hyper devilish Cassandra Classic. He has the exact same mean time between events for orbital trade ships.

Congratulation for the great release. Thank you !

I didn't disable ships. So I'm not sure what's happening for you. Anyone else have this problem?

I got orbital ships, but very very very rare, around 1 ship each ingame year.

But don't forget you can call a trade caravanns.

[canshow]

Is the storyteller mod compatible with existing save games?
