Developments

Developments are one of the primary methods to customize a religion. These can additional bonuses and attributes for your disciples. Progressing down the development tree allows you to unlock more powerful bonuses. Some developments are mutually exclusive meaning you can only pick one. These are identified by a red exclamation point in between two lines.


You can only pick one and your choice is permanent.

Sparks

Investing in developments costs development sparks and each one costs progressively more. Sparks can be earned by completing Sacraments and sometimes through other means.
