Becoming Saint is now available on Steam, with discounts, bundles and also a supporter edition with high-res funny assets, some of which decorate this announcement release thread - so get that! 😝 Thank you all for playing and hopefully leaving a review on Steam! 😇

RT @Becoming_Saint: Converting medieval Italy to your faith is not an easy task!. That's why we've made an FAQ to answer questions regardin….

@Becoming_Saint That's it for now! Becoming Saint is here: 😎.

@Becoming_Saint SPOILER: How to get more food production?. Distributing land to people and peasants will definitely increase your food production. Also, letting merchants do their redistribution work.

@Becoming_Saint SPOILER: "Death down the ravine" achievement. How do you get this ending?? . Try changing your politics frequently. .

@Becoming_Saint How to win the game?. In order to “win” the game you need to control at least 13 cardinals and the town of Rome, in no particular order. Here by winning it is intended minimising the time between your death and becoming a saint, also while still alive? 😝.

@Becoming_Saint Where is the politics’ bless, curse, and trance effect evaluation?. When you are selecting units for a march there is a hint’s section, that if you close it it remains closed. Click on the bottom left to reopen it; information on bless, curse, & trance is always visible.

@Becoming_Saint How to preview the consequences of choices?. What a choice does is revealed completely once you replay a game. For every choice that you have taken previously, a large tooltip appears on the choices showing its effect; it is meant as a progressive discovery of content.

@Becoming_Saint How to see complete infos of the current set of units, yours and the towns’?. Just open the full unit info panel, you can do that in Piazza, when selecting units for the march, also from the map: just click on the unit icon, and before marching. You can navigate the full roster.

@Becoming_Saint What does “critical” mean for a unit? . “Critical” refers to "making a critical attack", if unit A is critical vs unit B, once per battle, A will attempt a "critical attack" against B (if they are fighting), which, if successful, will completely disband unit B.

@Becoming_Saint Where is the confrontation’s tutorial?. The game has a tutorial; you can open it from the "help" panel in the bottom right, you can also open it by using "ESC" or by clicking the "?" in the bottom right.

@Becoming_Saint About elevation and ranged units (2/2). They try to attack someone all the time; the only moment they don't attack or move is when there is no one in range and no path to reach an enemy. Notice that if you select a ranged unit, its range will be shown on the grid.

@Becoming_Saint About elevation and ranged units (1/2). Having units on elevation always gives an advantage, both in attack and in defence. Ranged units attack in two ways: if the enemy is far, they throw at it; if the enemy is in contact, they attack as all other units do.

@Becoming_Saint How not to die when losing confrontations?. You can lose a confrontation and not lose the game if: Your charisma is above zero, and You did not bring all your units with you to the confrontation. If you notice during a “battle” that you are losing it, you can always run away:

@Becoming_Saint How does levelling up work?. Units that are followers of yours and have "survived" the last battle will level up every 3 towns conquered. So level up will happen when controlling 3 towns, 6, 9, 12 etc. Units level up after you get to make your speech in the Piazza:

@Becoming_Saint Tips for winning confrontations:

@Becoming_Saint Why are battles called confrontations? . In Becoming Saint, in order to convert a town, you have a brawl with locals: it is not a “battle” in the sense that it is a setting where both sides are trying to convince & convert others (hit energy faith courage): no one gets killed.

@Becoming_Saint How to equip pet's skin (supporter edition only)? . Go to the start scene, Settings -> There is a dedicated panel on the right with a checkbox.

@Becoming_Saint About your own name and it being forced to be unique. Our idea is that each name results in a saint, saved in your list. And each saint should have a unique name, so if you want to reuse it, it should be "Peter", then "Peter II", "Peter III".

@Becoming_Saint How does save work? . The game saves state after each finished confrontation, when it shows you the resulting map. For example, if you conquered 3 towns, and quit the game, you will have a "continue" button from the start scene.

@Becoming_Saint What does hard mode do? .In hard mode: .1. Starting food and charisma are lower. 2. Food production is lower. 3. Bless and curse effects in battle are reduced.
