How permanent are blessings/curses/artifacts? What kinds of things can we research? How does one go about convincing mortals to worship oneself?
EDIT: Er, to clarify, can infinite traits be applied to one action which then all multiplicatively apply to the whole thing? If I tried to make a +1 Speed, -1 Strength ring, for instance, would that be (2 * 0.5 * 0.5) = 0.5E, or ([2 + 0.5] * 0.5) = 1.25E, or something else?
Speaking of which, can pop points wield artifacts or are they an agent/god thing?
1. Until the mortal/artifact's destruction.
2.
Anything. Don't expect all of it to be useful, however. You could do something mundane or something more esoteric. You're sphere would be an interesting topic of research. Actually, I'm inserting a sphere bonus to research right now.
3. Be
creative. Or not. Like, you could just bless a pop or two and if they like what you did, they might just worship you. Also take note that certain strata of society might prefer the worship of certain gods. Currently, the colonists are just your basic workers, soldiers and administrators.
4. I don't see why you multiplied 0.5 twice if you used the +1Speed and -1Strength traits, but you could theoretically dump a large amount of negative traits to get the cost to near 0.
Theoretically.
5. Pops can wield artifacts. That's all I have to say on the matter.
Hum, how long is a turn approximately?
5-10 years.
