We need to make sure that we aren't too horrific. Be horrific enough to our people for our continued survival, but if we keep a low horrificness, then the Inquisition will probably choose to kill the one that tortures his subjects with mind-flaying screaming and eats children by the thousand than the one who is generally creepy around his subjects and only devours one or two villagers a month.

We need to know about other demons, so we aren't the biggest target.
The servants of the Chaos Gods form cults that each have telltale signs - Those that worship Khorne often indulge in ritual sacrifice and self-mutilation while servants of Tzeench delve into forbidden knowledge, etc. This alone will make it difficult for the Inquisition to pinpoint us and may delay their action against us to some extent. However, at the first sign they get of any unholy presence, we and our followers will become a very high priority for the Ordos Malleus and Hereticus, which would be a bad thing considering that they have absolute authority to the point of commandeering warships if they so desire. The Inquisition is well-known for going all-out against any potential threats it faces and will devote all its resources to our destruction if at all possible.

Still. They have to prioritise SOMETHING. Perhaps we can tempt other demons into massive amounts of power, so we have meatshields.

I really want to find an alternate source of sustenance, maybe we can devour the inherent order of the universe, or have the land itself worship us, or sustainably drain life energy through some sort of curse...
Green black magic?
I'm game.

My apologies that the update has been postponed again, but I get out of school tomorrow so I will be much less busy over the weekend and next week.

Lets see if we can get these terrified miners to become cultists.

The fifth button on the second row, just above the smiley-faces, will generate glow tags. The default is red, But you can change that...
I don't actually know what effects the numbers have...

I am not happy about the poor organization of my posts, the general clusterfuck that is the backstory, and the kludged together stat system. Because of this, I will start a new, more organized thread with a new update and a revised system for stats in an hour or two. Upon the new thread going up, this one will be locked.

Will do. The update is shorter than I'd have liked, but minions have been created and progress has been made.
