El Dorado: The Golden City Builder - Discover the religion mechanics
The developers of El Dorado: The Golden City Builder have published the latest devlog on Steam, in which they describe the mechanics of religion in the game. Right now players can signup for the Steam Playetst and upcoming Beta Tests in Q2 2023.
Believe in the deities and you will receive their favors - this is the basic principle that governs the civilization in the game.
In the game, you will have to build temples and shrines near houses, make sacrifices to appease the Gods, and protect the village from all dangers. Sacrifices will be made during temple festivals, and the more sacrifices are made, the more favorably the Gods will look upon your civilization.
In El Dorado: The Golden City Builder, three Gods dominate the rest:
Chac - god of thunder, water, and plants.
Ixchel - goddess of the moon, fertility, and destruction.
Itzamna - creator god, ruler of the sky.
The prediction that God must sacrifice to save civilization from catastrophe is made by a calendar created by talented fortune-tellers.
As in ancient civilizations, astronomy is an important aspect of the game. Priests could foretell the future through the stars, predicting a deposit of rare and valuable ore, misfortune, or a hostile tribe preparing to attack.
Ancient civilizations often made sacrifices to their gods in the hope of gaining their favor and protection from all dangers. These offerings could take many forms, such as animals, fruit, or valuables. In many cases, the sacrifice was related to specific events, such as the birth of a child, harvesting crops, or war. Over time, the sacrifice became an integral part of the culture and religion of many ancient civilizations, such as the Mayans, Aztecs, and Egyptians. In El Dorado: The Golden City Builder, you will have the opportunity to learn and explore the fascinating world of ancient civilizations and experience the mechanics of sacrifice and the impact they have on your civilization.
The developers of the game encourage you to express your opinion on the mechanics of religion. Players can also join the community on Discord and talk to them directly about ideas and wishes for the game content. You can also add the game to your wishlist so you don't miss any updates.
