rites for the Dawi Zharr! – an Hashutism brotherhood mod

Presentation

With the introduction to the chaos dwarfs to the playable races, CA has sinken to a new low: no ritual game mechanics for our little guys!
You heard me right, the people of CA do not consider hashutism as a valid form a religion nor hashut as a deiti.
This is one of the most despicable form of prejudice a video game company has ever made.

My mod is made in solidarity with the sons of Hashut with the stated goal to make hashutism an official religion.

My mod add a ritual button at the bottom right of the interface where you can spend 1000 gold + 20 influence (or 500 materials in a specific case) to perform a rite.

All rituals have great benefits but also incorporate a big penalty.
Like the wise man from tilea said: No sacrifice, No victory – Optimus primeus

4 rites are available:

– Hashut’s Wrath allow you to capture many many "labborers" in the service of hashut. Your armies will however have a big trouble recruting due to an over extention of the supply lines.
Last 5 turns, available next in 10 turns, cost 1000 gold 20 influence.

– Hashut’s Calling allow you to recruit more people in the legion, especially binding demons and K’daai units. Your sorcerers being busy binding demons to hashut, little time will be spared for civic and economic development.
Last 5 turns, available next in 10 turns, cost 1000 gold 20 influence.

-Zharr Naggrund blood ritual allow your armies to field better quality guns and armors allowing them to perform better in battle. The industry being focus on higher military quality output, the civic side of the industry will suffer.
Last 5 turns, available next in 10 turns, cost 1000 gold 20 influence.

-The build back better plan is an economic bill made by joe the ancient that allow you to build the infrastructure of your factories and tower at the expenses of the outposts. Also recruitment will be an issue due to the labor shortage.
Last 5 turns, available next in 10 turns, cost 1000 gold 500 building materials.
