You start off with an Arch Bishop and a Crusader Paladin & Captain,
giving you access to both vanilla ceremonies and the mod's ritual school.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The Arch Bishop, your priest, is the base game Voice of El.

You ramp gold income through converting settlements to the faith of El, bolster devotion to increase the amount of OP random stat buffs your blessed units gain, break some seals to allow celestial reinforcements to enter Elysium, or cause the end of the world. You can promote to Cardinals and Pontiff for greater magic, Inquisitions & Crusades.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Sacred Sites – 7 level 1, 5 level 2, and 4 level 3 sites are dormant PVE dungeons in any world with a Voice of El.

You can seize them for production, but beware a looming threat! Upon unearthing a tomb entrance, you can slay the defending army to reap great treasures and enlist the celestials trapped within. These tombs randomly unearth with time, but the Voice of El may unearth them or teleport armies to them through rituals.

Sacred site - detailed mechanics

The voice of el & events can spawn Tomb Entrance units holding Tomb Maps on these tiles. Tomb Map item when held above a sealed tomb unlocks the entrance and spawns the defending army. The defending army has a Tomb Key for its level. When a player or ai class owned unit obtains a Tomb Key they get corresponding rewards for the dungeon clear. That means rarely, if an independent faction like a wandering void creature gets a tomb key, the loot remains unclaimed until a class obtains that key.

Tomb key - acquisition rewards

Any Class ~ Tomb Key Lv.1 : 20 gold, 6 iron
1d2+1*Judgement Angel & Celestial Rabbit & 1d2*Judgement Angelic Warrior & Tomb Chest

Bastion of Faith – A risky, all-or-nothing citadel.

Through the power of faith in RNGesus, it passively recruits celestial defenders and levels up every 7 turns, increasing production, ritual utility, and quality of passive celestial defenders. When it falls to enemy hands, all faith is lost, the Bastion crumbles to a plain, and the victor receives great one-time instant spoils from the battle.

Celestial Defender - details

Every 6~ish turns reinforcements chances are rolled at every bastion of faith.
All are stationary, except Celestial Rabbits, which can be moved.

Level 0 & 1 (Bastion of Faiths):

20% - "1d2*Celestial Crossbowman & 1d2*Celestial Longbowman"
25% - "1d2*Celestial Spearman & 1d2*Celestial Swordsman"
30% - "3*Celestial Archer"
20% - "1d2*Celestial Sword"

Level 2 (Bastion of Faiths):

7% - "Divine Lion & 1d2*Celestial Rabbit"
14% - "Celestial Paladin & 1d2*Celestial Templar"
7% - "Celestial Angel & Celestial Angelic Warrior"

Level 3 (Bastion of Faiths):

2% - "Celestial Ophan"
3% - "Celestial Seraph"
3% - "Celestial Arch Angel"
6% - "Celestial Harbinger"
12% - "Celestial Angelic Warrior & 2*Celestial Angel"

(Crusaders, celestial commanders, etc.)

Reveal Sacred Site – Helps you locate sacred sites before anyone else.

Unearth Tomb – Can be cast on a revealed sacred site to unearth the tomb next turn.

Appoint Cardinal / Pontiff – A slightly cheaper Ceremony of Mastery since base game costs couldn't be edited.

Convert Rituals – 0 action point cost but more expensive than convert settlement.

Raise Bastion of Faith – Raise a new level 1 Bastion for cheap. It takes 14 turns to reach level 3.

Rush Bastion of Faith – Rush a new level 2 Bastion; it takes 7 turns to reach level 3.

Holy Armaments – An expensive item lootbox ritual, a good way to spend iron and fully equip your best units so they’re invincible.

Answering Prayers – Allows you to teleport a lone commander from a Bastion of Faith to a Bastion of Faith Lv.2+ or Sacred Site.

Granting Miracles – Teleport the caster’s army from a Bastion of Faith Lv.3 to any Bastion Lv.2+ or Sacred Site.

De-Convert – Deconverts, then reconverts an already converted settlement at the end of the turn. (Use when the building on a tile changes, like from a farm to a city, so you gain the correct gold—base-game bugfix.)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coerce Judgement Rituals – These are your BEST RITUALS.

These rituals summon one of your 3 celestial ambassadors for one turn on target tiles. If a stupid celestial commander’s army ends their turn on the same tile as one of your celestial ambassadors, you will gain complete control over that army. This converts originally non-controllable celestial faction allies—Celestial Lions, Harbingers, Arch Angels, Seraphs, Ophanim, etc.—into Judgement variants under your full command.

Once you have broken a few seals through ceremonies, powerful celestial allies will frequently roam the map. Predict where they will stop, place ambassadors there, and, if you're lucky, capture their armies.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You start off with an Arch Bishop and a Crusader Paladin & Captain.

You can give your Crusader Paladin command over your Knights & Celestial Rabbit for a fast-moving, aggressive army.

You aim to convert all settlements as cheaply and quickly as possible. This secures tons of gold— even if you lose ownership, you still get yearly gold from conversions.
Save money by converting close lands with your Arch Bishop’s ceremony rather than your Crusader’s rituals.
Rituals convert multiple settlements per turn but are more expensive.
Construct as many Bastions of Faith as possible and hold them.
Losing control results in total annihilation of the fortress and your opponents gaining a massive instant influx of resources.
Seek out or teleport armies to Sacred Tombs.
The treasures and celestial reinforcements from clearing them significantly strengthen your army.
Level 3 Tomb rewards include controllable Apocalypse Riders.
Break 5 seals (6-7 as last resorts).
Max out divine favor.
Bolster devotion when affordable and pray for good blessings like +1 armor.
Use OP Coerce Judgement rituals to capture stupid armies.

I hope this clarifies some of the things you can do and how they work.

Feel free to add your own tips / guide discussion / or questions for the class.

Eventually I gotta do something like this, at least clarifying hidden mechanics and goals for all our class mods.
