how do you get more gods in this game
@Miroglyph Since the gods scale based on both your and your gods' levels, the best time to fight them if you just want to knock it out is after a fresh cthonic reset from what I can tell.
Is there a trick to fighting the gods, or do I just need to go manual and play well?
one of the best idle rpg games I've ever played. tooltips everywhere for just-in-time information. very well done.
What I would suggest for a future update is to have class-specific weapons, like have swords be equipped to the adventurer and warrior classes only, bows for the archer, and staves and rods for the priest.

I really like this game but everything seems so slow. Like, the speed up should be the normal speed.
developer response: Hey, just wanted to let you know that in the latest update I made a change so that the 2x speed is no longer tied to offline time. You can freely toggle between 1x and 2x speed.
Nice and fun game. There are a lot of original mechanics and it seems quite balanced so far, bravo! The UI should be reviewed though, it has great functionalities (all shortcut links are great) but it's too confusing and dispersive.
Wow this is something really different than expected actually. It has a story that is interesting, and more depth to its combat systems than is strictly necessary in an idle game.
It really is like playing a "real" ARPG, but without the parts where you grind endless hordes yourself.
Is there a way to reset your save?
developer response: Hey, there is now a 'Reset Game' button towards the bottom of the Settings page.
add in a reset progress button!
developer response: Hey, I will add one in the next update.
