Thanks for giving it a try! We're in consensus that the directions for how to play are one of the weak points, so this is valuable feedback. If you feel like giving it another try, we're finding that the three things people miss (admittedly including myself during testing) are:
- Clicking the populated tiles on the map before selecting the convert or offer actions
- Noting that for offer actions to complete, the followers must move the offering to the top of the map, meaning it takes time and should be done before hunger reaches a near-maximum
- Purging when the corruption meter is high, as corruption buildup makes the game more difficult and causes failure if it caps out.
In any case, thank you so much for playing!
