Like everything else in the wasteland, the religions there also suck.




Your raiders are an unruly and superstitious lot, perhaps offering some water or meat might appease the gods enough to inspire your army to fight a bit better. Sacrifice a bit of beer (sacrilege!) and they might take the offering even more seriously.

However, the option also exists to sacrifice captive workers or even...one of your own raiders, in order to further boost your followers fervor on the battlefield, successfully awakening their blood lust and violent nature. These sacrifices offer significant combat boosts that can make the difference in capturing that settlement you have your eye on.



As well, after battle, you will have a chance to loot either scripture pages which will amplify the duration of bonuses received after a sacrifice, or holy relics which will provide permanent boosts and modifiers to out-of-combat stats.



Hope you enjoy this update!

And remember: in the wasteland, do unto others before they do unto you.

As requested, number of new male and female raider portraits have been added to the game. Some of them are looking a bit...rough, as a raider might look in the post-apocalypse.

Like ol' Fanny here:

Believe it or not, she's even uglier on the inside...

Here's a preview of a few more "beauts" that have been added:





These can be accessed for your leader with all newly-generated games. As new recruitable raiders are generated in existing games though, you may soon see them there as well.

Oh, and I also fixed a bug where the occasional animal (Battle Dog or War Pig) was greeting player parties when they arrived at settlements.

Hope you enjoy!

Caravans and wasteland locations now have tamed animals amongst their ranks - you fight them of course, but you can also recruit them into your own ranks as well. They smell and don't always follow orders very well, but on the plus side, you don't have to pay 'em and they won't drink any of your beer...





If you want your very own Battle Dog or War Pig, settlements will sometimes have them available to recruit. As well, winning victories against caravans will result in the odd animal defecting to your side.

Unfortunately, hippos cannot be recruited. They're too damned ornery and big for that.

Hope you enjoy!
