I'm really loving the RTS style games, and I love the capture\/conversion mechanic in this. The lack of pathfinding through buildings is about the only problem I had and it was easy to work around.

Took me a while to understand the gameplay, because there is no in-game tutorial. I didn't know you can zoom out and scroll, for example.

Stayed because I enjoyed learning the mechanics and it is satisfying to summon your god. \n\nStruggled to send my pilgrims out sometimes, wasn't clear when they are available to move, and clicking de-selects them. It was easy to get into a spiral of clicking a pilgrim, trying to send it out, failing because it was occupied, and then trying again and again.\n\nRecommend a simpler level to start with, perhaps only a couple houses to take over and no summoning; let us learn how the pilgrims operate without time pressure, then reveal mechanics one level at a time.\n\nGreat work, congratulations!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":1047937,"author_name":"FloweryAndy","author_uid":"floweryandy","epoch":1713296851,"text":"I like how they sound like Pikmin","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1048683,"author_name":"ehmtang","author_uid":"ehmtang","epoch":1713300420,"text":"Great work!

The art is beautiful, especially the UI elements. You get plenty of mileage from the single idle animation, but it works when the pilgrims are moving or 'converting' a house. The cards added some fun strategy, I tended to always choose double follower production (worker-based economies ftw), but the options were fun to mess with. I tried capturing my enemy's church but I don't think that was an option?\n\nThe music and sound effects added so much to the atmosphere.

Faith points are used to summon the god and unlock cards.\n\nSacrifice pilgrims at the sacrificial altar to gain souls. Activate cards with souls.\nBugs:\n\nSometimes pilgrims don't path to a house, try sending them to a different house and then re-send them on the initial path.\n\nSometimes you can't select or move any units. The only solution is to restart the game or win without any inputs as your pilgrims automatically collect faith.","title":"Pilgrim's Path","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/388501+388502+388503+388504+388505+388506+388507+388508+388509+388510+388511+388512+388513+388514+388515+388516+388517+388518+388519+388520+388521+388522+388523+388524+388525+388526+388527+388528+388529+388530+388531+388532+388533+388534+388535+388536+388537+388538+388539+388540+388541+388542+388543+388544+388545+388546+388547+388548+388549+388550+388551+388552+388553+388554+388555+388556+388557+388558+388559+388560+388561+388562+388563+388564+388565+388566+388567+388568+388569+388570+388571+388572+388573+388574+388575+388576+388577+388578+388579+388580+388581+388582+388583+388584+388585+388586+388587+388588+388589+388590+388591+388592+388593+388594+388595+388596+388597+388598+388599+388600+388601+388602+388603+388604+388605+388606+388607+388608+388609+388610+388611+388612+388613+388614+388615+388616+388617+388618+388619+388620+388621+388622+388623+388624+388625+388626+388627+388628+388629+388630+388631+388632+388633+388634+388635+388636+388637+388638+388639+388640+388641+388642+388643+388644+388645+388646+388647+388648+388649+388650+388651+388652+388653+388654+388655+388656+388657+388658+388659+388660+388661+388662+388663+388664+388665+388666+388667+388668+388669+388670+388671+388672+388673+388674+388675+388676+388677+388678+388679+388680+388681+388682+388683+388684+388685+388686+388687+388688+388689+388690+388691+388692+388693+388694+388695+388696+388697+388698+388699+388700+388701+388702+388703+388704+388705+388706+388707+388708+388709+388710+388711+388712+388713+388714+388715+388716+388717+388718+388719+388720+388721+388722+388723+388724+388725+388726+388727+388728+388729+388730+388731+388732+388733+388734+388735+388736+388737+388738+388739+388740+388741+388742+388743+388744+388745+388746+388747+388748+388749+388750+388751+388752+388753+388754+388755+388756+388757+388758+388759+388760+388761+388762+388763+388764+388765+388766+388767+388768+388769+388770+388771+388772+388773+388774+388775+388776+388777+388778+388779+388780+388781+388782+388783+388784+388785+388786+388787+388788+388789+388790+388791+388792+388793+388794+388795+388796+388797+388798+388799+388800+388801+388802+388803+388804+388805+388806+388807+388808+388809+388810+388811+388812+388813+388814+388815+388816+388817+388818+388819+388820+388821+388822+388823+388824+388825+388826+388827+388828+388829+388830+388831+388832+388833+388834+388835+388836+388837+388838+388839+388840+388841+388842+388843+388844+388845+388846+388847+388848+388849+388850+388851+388852+388853+388854+388855+388856+388857+388858+388859+388860+388861+388862+388863+388864+388865+388866+388867+388868+388869+388870+388871+388872+388873+388874+388875+388876+388877+388878+388879+388880+388881+388882+388883+388884+388885+388886+388887+388888+388889+388890+388891+388892+388893+388894+388895+388896+388897+388898+388899+388900+388901+388902+388903+388904+388905+388906+388907+388908+388909+388910+388911+388912+388913+388914+388915+388916+388917+388918+388919+388920+388921+388922+388923+388924+388925+388926+388927+388928+388929+388930+388931+388932+388933+388934+388935+388936+388937+388938+388939+388940+388941+388942+388943+388944+388945+388946+388947+388948+388949+388950+388951+388952+388953+388954+388955+388956+388957+388958+388959+388960+388961+388962+388963+388964+388965+388966+388967+388968+388969+388970+388971+388972+388973+388974+388975+388976+388977+388978+388979+388980+388981+388982+388983+388984+388985+388986+388987+388988+388989+388990+388991+388992+388993+388994+388995+388996+388997+388998+388999+389000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/4d\/4dd918d06af8f496abc497cefcc3865a5daab6e983e1d4ad9896bc091f873cf4","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/cc15c2031cd2fb18d45de975aaac9ca5eaa9a6222b9cb77053d3a5de0ee8dd6e.json","sha256":"4dd918d06af8f496abc497cefcc3865a5daab6e983e1d4ad9896bc091f873cf4","source":"https","stored_at":1784022508}}
