Experimenting a bit with the new faction system, as of now it seems extremely grindy and vague. I have only gotten a handful of events for each faction despite many turns having passed, and adjusting their power/sentiment takes an extremely long time. The pleasure cult in particular takes an excessively long time to increase sentiment, and they seem to gain power much easier than the Inquisition, with it being far more difficult to reduce.
I might be missing context/events that make it more noticeable, but when one faction actively murders people, and the other will give people blowjobs at inconvenient times, it's hard to see the moral dilemma or quandary that was supposedly intended. There are the events where the Inquisitor brings a companion of yours to court, but she listens when you explain the truth. Maybe there is something in the low sentiment bad ending/event I'm missing.
Not knowing how many events I have missed, and the requirements for each one, make it rather difficult to know whether I've explored all the content. As of now I'm trying to increase the sentiment/power of both factions simultaneously, out of curiosity, but the game doesn't seem to be acknowledging this so far, and with how minute the number changes are, I'm basically spamming next turn whilst my three million wood, stone and research goes to waste. Along with the fact that it is impossible for me to get more food without crippling my populations happiness by turning off growth, with no recourse. (There also doesn't seem to be a chart for happiness)
It would be useful to know if windmills are multiplicative, additive, combine with the outpost upgrade, or even have any effect beyond the first, because I've demolished about eight of them without losing any food production.
What made me interested in trying the game was the ability to influence your kingdoms gender ratio and sexual fetishes, but very little in the game actually acknowledges this. Not to mention the policies to adjust genders don't seem to actually work. I have attempted to make a female/futa exclusive society, which has resulted in an extremely buggy stats page, where my females and futas have an identical population count, and my 100 thousand males aren't acknowledged in the total, despite still being present.
I also have a bunch of slaves that I do not want, with no way to remove or reduce the count, despite supposedly being "the chosen genders of the gods" I still have a tonne of enslaved females/futa, which contradicts how enslaving certain genders automatically reduces preference, which is conflated with sexual attraction/appeal.
The new events for breeder/labour slaves further contradict this concept, not only because it doesn't acknowledge the slave populations, but because as it stands you cannot enslave them without reducing their preference, which contradicts the fetishization/idealization of slaves in the events. Pleasure slaves shouldn't be hated/reviled and conflated with menial labour.
Not to mention because population growth is infinite without an extremely costly policy that cripples your peoples happiness, players who have a pregnancy kink are locked behind a gameplay mechanic that forcefully starves the population.
Something else that might be nice is a way to "objectify" certain genders of your civilization, instead of encouraging hatred and distaste. Idealizing specific genders or social groups as well treated/prized sex objects or slaves. Not inherently considering them "inferior" or "lesser beings" like the current system, but fulfilling submissive roles within social hierarchy. Considering them just as valuable as the "dominant" gender, but praised for fulfilling a subservient role within society and sexually objectified in a "positive" manner.
Edit:
It might be good to allow the ability to specify size preference for different assets a bit, without losing out on the events. Essentially the ability to max out admiration for unrealistically large proportions without going into hyper territory, i.e the difference between an artist like DevilHS and someone like Sparrow. A fantasy hyper sexualized hourglass figure is great, personally, but not getting stuck in doorways.
Hopefully this ranting is somewhat useful, no obligation to worry about it though.
