In this video we check out another god mod for Shadows of Forbidden Gods - The Living Void! It's a good one folks! DEFINITELY worth getting in my opinion! Thanks for watching! :)
When I tried this god aware leaders were building reality anchors like mad. looks like it has been touched up since and ready for another look. I did get the idea that a small Dark Empire as a place to rest up and hire knights could be a big help with all the fighting so may as well test that while I am at it.
It's been a while since I last tried this god and it looks to have changed a bit. One thing I remember was that rulers were way too in to creating Reality Anchors before there was any reason to. Like by the time I'd infiltrated a place that I'd be interested in putting a stone in I'd get a notice a few turns later that one had gone up. Generally by the time I'd opened any rifts there would be 2-3 siphoning them away as fast as my agents could prop them up. One time I remember I took too long with a faith spreading awareness and my first rift had eight eating away at it. If you're going for creating rifts it seems highly recommended to find a decent sized religion and have an agent become the Prophet. That way you can more easily get them into the negatives and have them start turning every temple they have into a rift that gets a growth bonus from worshipers. Even better if said temple has a geomantic locus to eat too.
Thanks for the review! The main use of Enervate is to pounce on people, but yeah, there's not much use for it early. Either for killing Orc upstarts or defending your Hungry Rifts from heroes w/ a Might Agent; its def more usefl late but i'm not sure what'd take its place. Consume Heat does need some balancing though; earlier it was very OP and just a few uses could outright wipe out a settlement. Odds are I over-nerfed it. 5 Sanity for the Erode is for the 3 voidstones. Most people don't have more than 15. But maybe 7 per is a good sweet spot, just to seal the deal, and I like some of the power ideas. And yep, the god's very P/M intensive; the shadow helps reduce the profile and menace of expanding rifts, but managing it was something I intended to be a core struggle. 4 power refund is a bit low, but if you get a few ruptures you can blow up the world... rather fast, as the awakening is meant to be your victory lap after a difficult game setting up. Yeah, I'm not too happy with a lot of the power spread. I just got ideas for 'voidy powers' and I slotted them in regardless of how well they meshed together, and there's a few powers that mesh with other gameplay styles but not each other - for instance, giving rulers voidstones to drive them mad in a more intrigue-focused game where you don't worry as much about making vacuum collapse strong. "Throwing agent after agent into the grind" - Haha, I feel that. Pretty much all my test games with the god ended in "Oh god just get this last rift matured, random bullshit go!" The CO tries to close it, but it's the same cooldown timer as stuff like Redeem Soveriegn; I usually just park the Survivor in the tundra and throw rocks at 'em. (If you haven't, I recommend trying out the god's Holy Order tenet!) Thanks for the tweaks, I'll definitely take the numbers on Expand Rift into consideration! Maybe I could make it a channeled challenge that happens every turn. And I could prob repurpose Enervate to that 'delay hero sealing rift' power.
Uravlv?! The man the myth! First off the mod is excellent so please don't take my feedback as too negative. I had a ton of fun and more fun as I got better at working out the god's mechanics. If it is common for players to lose many Agents as they reach the end game I'd state that in the god description somewhere. I genuinely felt like quitting when I had lost so many but unbeknownst to me I was doing well. Didn't necessarily feel that way though, if that makes sense? I love the god, its so fun. Will definitely to an LP with this one in time. But first - Chandalor preview?!
aunty herbert is pretty good at calibrating stuff as seen on steam discussions so if you need an help or opinion he is definetely one i would consider.but i'm not really great at this coding stuff so it will be up to you i guess.
Honestly, biggest criticism for this god? Setup. After you get one matured rift I think that’s where the snowball is supposed to start, but until then when it comes to how long it takes you to set up that first rift, you had best hope that your agents didn’t skip leg day, because they are hiking in order to get those voidstones. Second Suggestion. If the creator doesn’t want to get rid of that setup I would honestly replace enervate with a power that generates 2 or 3 inert or temporary voidstones that agents can pick up in random locations on the map. I also think this power should scale just like with Iastur’s infiltration ability but that’s just my impression after failing a lot of times and then getting a win(you know the usual method of testing). Anyways, if the creator finds this, thank you for the fun times and the even funner god!
Glad you enjoy the content! On the music -I think so. I've tweaked it quite a bit to get to this level and others seem fine with it but I'll keep an eye on it. I increased the volume a tiny bit the last 2 videos because it is really quiet for me.
Actually scratch that - I've just listened on my phone and the background music is loud there. I'll reduce it a little on the next one again. Apologies for that!

I wouldn't mind a Chandy review. Still blown away that something I made is actually getting a video made about it on youtube.

@@firstsomeonelastname42 it won't be the last either! Chandy review for sure incoming. And don't get me started on your current plans!
Thanks for posting this Sir. SFG. I've really been enjoying your videos.
Hey Malcolm it's no problem, glad you enjoy them! Thank you for the comment and for witching!
definetely looks like my type of gamestyle, also with geomancy and loci.
sounds fun probably i'll try soon.
It is awesome villain. Well worth a go!
Higgs Field Collapse, the god. I kinda love it.
It's a great god concept! Thanks for watching!
Might be time to make another video abput The Living Void, all the god powers have been overhauled and they are very different now.
idea for an agent. they have ability to send items by undergrounds means to your other agents
I think personally we should have god specific agents just to spice things up a little more.
Cool idea - I like it Jacob!
@@allknighter5791 also a cool idea - 1 per god would be a good start!

I gotta try this thing out. Easily my favorite god aestetically out of all the modded and unmodded ones, except maybe Ophanim
Definitely worth a try and thematically very cool! The same mod creator is making another really cool god though - I'll be covering it soon.
I love your content but I'm finding the background music a little loud. Is it just my headphones?
Glad you enjoy the content! On the music -I think so. I've tweaked it quite a bit to get to this level and others seem fine with it but I'll keep an eye on it. I increased the volume a tiny bit the last 2 videos because it is really quiet for me.

Haven't watched the video yet, but I suggest making it more clear in the title that it's a mod.
Aye I probably should do that but so little time!

Where do you find the music 😂
