Cult is awful, so let's try to improve it. Idea by KorPhaeron. I also
took some inspiration from adrix89's sacrifice cult, so credits to him.
Also thanks a lot specially to MrPerson and Iamgoofball for helping
me brainstorm this, and Joan for the sprites for the summoning orb,
the large nar-sie shell, and the new cult antag hud.
Basically, we remove conversion, and turn cult into a magic version of
nuke, with a small team of stealth elite cultists that have to build a
base in the station and sacrifice people in order to build an army of
constructs and get materials to eventually summon Nar-Sie.
Stun talismans and conversion are gone. Nar-Sie is now the only
objective. Sacrifice runes now provide summoning orbs, which you can use
to drop a large shell. Insert enough orbs in the shell and you trigger a
Delta. Defend the shell for 3 minutes and Nar-sie will arise. This shell
is bombproof and singularityproof. It may be summoned up to three times
if destroyed, but you will have to start from the beginning sac-wise.
Runes are now RNG. Each cultist only gets 50% of the runes. Inspiration
is basically The Binding of Isaac here (thank you MrPerson for this!).
Furthermore, many old runes were merged/removed and other new ones were
added. Almost all were massively rebalanced. Cult now also has a
stealthy ritual dagger with high bleeding and throw effects.
Wizard events that spare the wizard should now properly spare apprentices too.
Moves renaming as an apprentice to the end of the spawn proc because the input prompt stops various important things (including the sound meant to inform people they got apprentice) from happening until after it's dealt with.
Restores the "+" for positive quality items in RPG loot. The reason this was changed was already fixed, it just was mistakenly never put back.
Fixes healing fountain construction sprite.
Nexus are now destroyed properly.
Borged cultists will now lose antag status properly.
Round end message fixed.
Feedback messages improved to be clearer, and lots of typos fixed.
Smite no longer uses up faith if there is no valid target in the turf.
Adds an atom/attack_god() proc.
Fixes the greeting messages for prophets and followers, improves god msg.
Fixes nexus being spawned on dense turf after 2min, and general sanity.
Fixes attacking structures with abstract items.
Adds click delay and attack animation for attacking structures.
Fixes a lot more typos.
Fixes defense pylon friendly fire.
Makes defense pylon togglable on its god's click.
Cleans up gun_turret code a little in general.
Adds deconversion by loyalty implant or holy water (basically rev+cult).
Gods will now die when they have no followers left.
Adds the HoG gods to the traitor panel.
- Queens are now GIANT.
- Queens are now under the /royal type
- Added Praetorian caste.
- Buffed queen health to 400
- Royals now resist all but the strongest space winds
- Drones now must evolve into Praetorian before becoming queen.
- Queens without a Praetorian may now promote one.
- Royal Xenos now are not stunned by hulks or mechs.
- Hulks no longer push back royals, but still deal more damage.
be_special and antag defines are no longer limited to 16 values (1 - 32768) by being changed from a bitfield to a list, an appropriate block of code exists to automatically update bitfield versions to the new list format. the list format allows us to have (functionally) infinite antag types.
