as someone who has committed copious amounts of murder this is kinda ridiculous if i ever wanna try and find a follower i like, seriously that scroll bar is getting smaller by the hour-

And sadly, all of the easier routes are more limited. (Fox, Midas, etc.)

This is so important because rerolling for ideal followers takes forever and the scrolling will too at that rate. Maybe being able to sell followers permanently to Midas would be a good solution?

I really want this. I have to keep a physical list of who not to ressurect and then scrolling through all the followers that I don't want just to find the ones I want is just so much

Ditto-- I started without the Resurrection ritual, so I amassed hundreds of followers and I hate that my list is so long... It would be easier to weed out the ones you don't want to see again and keep your favorites. It's so easy to recruit followers, so I feel that if you mess up, you can technically replace the follower (the only problem is that you will have to catch up on leveling it up?)

adding to this because i was about to make a similar suggestion myself. my dead follower list is close to 200 now, and even with the new update allowing me to sort via name, age, etc, it can still be hard to find the follower im looking for.

so i have a few suggestions:

  • Let us be able to see the traits of dead followers to help us decide whether or not to resurrect them. with the new breeding system in place, i want to try and breed for good traits using past followers.

  • Let us be able to delete dead followers from the list. this could be done with a simple option of sending a follower to the afterlife or hell. either way, they get eternal rest and you cannot bring them back. a nice story tied way to delete them from the list.

#

i really love the new update, and im really grateful for the sorting feature. its a great quality of life update and i want to see more of that. i have several hundred hours logged in this game and that dead follower list is just gonna keep getting bigger

#

i now have 194 dead followers and now whenever i open the list to resurrect one, the game stutters!

#

to avoid the lest getting any longer, I've had to cap my followers. im only keeping 21 of them, and they all have necklaces to either make them immortal or extend their life.

but i really think a way to delete followers, or archive them as a person in a different thread suggested, is something worth looking into

#

I think with the ability to mate followers and get to pick the babys traits, players are even more encouraged to discard their unwanted followers and replace them with follower with better traits, and because most of us have save files with many hours of playtime, we are left with a really long resurrection list... so adding a way to get rid of followers permanently seems justified right?

I didnt realize damned follwers showed up at the bottom after you kill them in the crusade so I made a bunch of followers dedicated to killing them, now i have like 20 followers in the way of ressarecting damned followers I actually want back... thats not even mentioning all the other deaths I have to scroll through

#

so yeah... we need this

Suggestion: do what your phone does.

Unless you bury the Followers in a body pit or crypt, they are deleted from the list after 30 in-game days.

plush otter
#

Just an explicit deletion I can manually do to the followers I want it to be done to

THIS PLEASE. I'm a pretty new player, but even I noticed that the list is getting too long. Especially for people who want to keep playing their same save for long time. I'm at the point where I no longer want to recruit new followers. Rather just revive from what I already have.

#

I thought giving you followers that idk the name

#

where you bid them farewell after death

#

and put flowers on their tombs

#

shouldnt let you revive them

#

i mean, kinda makes sense, they passed on

#

it doesnt?

coarse inlet
#

if you're talking about the funeral ritual ritual, it doesn't remove them from the dead followers list. but maybe it should! thats another valid idea

foggy steeple
#

I'd like a put to rest ritual that permanently removes them from the list, It might give faith, maybe given at the end where it would make sense, kind of as a post game thing to tie into the lore of what we become. Maybe its a judgement ritual, where you bring the soul up and decide to send it to heaven or hell.

The resurrection list lags like a bitch when trying to load it now & it's just going to get worse.

This needs to be implemented

#

Just had a silly idea that i had to share

might not be the most efficient way, or close to what we want. but it might just be funny enough that its considered

since we got jerk followers now, why not let us be bullies too

what if you could bother a follower enough to make them dissent, and once they dissent, you let them leave the cult forever

like i said, still not the best idea. some of use have over 100+ followers, and you'd have to revive them one at a time to do this. but i thought it would be funny, and a way to make your followers dissent without starving them, etc

#

im currently having the problem of my cult consisting only of my friends as followers, and i want to skip/sac some followers from my indoctrination list permanently so i can finally get my narinder into the cult

#

it kinda sucks if random followers i dont care abt appear on my res list

#

I was thinking of a "forsake" action tbh, where you could go into a list of your deceased followers and select who you should delete off the list. You could be able to forsake up to 10 a day before you cannot do so any longer, but each forsaken follower has a chance of becoming damned due to being outraged at your decision to abandon them, forcing you to deal with them anyway.

#

But then I remembered that one valid reason to want to delete followers off that list is performance reasons. And it doesn't seem right to punish players who just want to stablize their game with a small army of angry ex-followers

#

Maybe they could add a search bar to it

#

And separate it into pages if it gets too long

neat hedge
#

plus u get sin when fighting damned ones so this would be a way to get quick sin in tradeoff for follower souls

#

some players might want to get sin without having to do the weird stuff

coarse inlet
#

once again begging for a way to delete followers off the resurrection list 😭

#

or kill them permanently (like a ritual, or interaction, or some other way. anything as long as its possible tbh)

I started with this save & I'll die with this save.

#

I saw someome had 600, im preying for their computer. mine stutters trying to load 200. i think 600 would make it achieve lift off

#

devs, if you're seeing this, have mercy on us who have shitty laptops

#

I have a total of 90 followers myself, only 18 are alive.....

Bumping this as well as it's becoming more and more of a problem the longer I play.

Some mechanic that lets you perma sacrifice followers would be great, like sending them to the afterlife, giving/selling them to other characters like Midas, or something else.

I'm hoping they're working on something fun with this, and that's the reason they haven't sorted it yet.

#

As someone with over 200 dead followers I def need this since the resurrection ritual buffers my game badly AACDKSHFJSBDMEJSNSJQIEJEN

#

bumping this again! please let us delete followers from the resurrection list!! i imagine wit would make things easier on the game to run without holding all that data

#

my list is 200+ followers long, and im not even doing a murder run or anything. my followers all die from old age. the game stutters whenever i open the resurrection list. i dont want to imagine how bad it'll get at like, 300-400

Perhaps there could be a wolf ritual where souls can be permanently sacrificed to hell but with greater rewards or something

twilit jackal
#

I feel that your idea of a wolf ritual or a way to continue (mass) sacrifice to the fox could help. But maybe they could try and add a way to organize followers? ||this would only really change the screen when looking at your follower lists|| You could make groups of followers that will be in one folder and another group in another folder. Each folder could be split by the living and dead and from there you get the idea? It could either be predetermined how the folders work or you make them yourself. Another way to make it easier to sort though the follower list would be adding a way to filter by specific traits?

#

I know this doesn't help with the huge lists, but it could help make it easier to manage at least if you don't want to do mass permanent sacrifices

limber spindle
#

I'd prefer organization over deletion

#

Wait if you give a follower to a wolf are they left unrecoverable

#

?

plush otter
#

Followers cannot be resurrected if:
||- Sacrificed to Midas

  • Sacrificed to the wolf/fox
  • Sacrificed to post-game doors
  • Sacrificed to the crusade fisher after bringing them in the form of a demon heart||
#

Other than that, they will always either appear on your resurrection list or can be encountered in crusades (and then killed to appear on your resurrection list)

#

hmm

#

I wonder what’s the exact max amount of followers I can kill forever

Apparently sacrificing for ||Aym/Baal|| is also supposed to be permanent but wasn't on launch

They're just for show now though

limber spindle
#

It's one of the only game mechanics I would say is legitimately bad design

plush otter
limber spindle
#

What purpose does it serve other than to pad game length by locking the story content behind cult activity?

#

The previous doors were fine, why did they feel the need to add a permanent sacrifice to it?!

#

Anyways....

plush otter
#

The crusades and cult content are interconnected and balanced by design; they're not entirely separate things

#

Actually yeah I have some annoying ones

wraith gate
#

Like my absolute menace 4 negative traits

plush otter
#

I have a few that I don't like the appearances of but can't seem to change their color or species at all

#

While some people are asking for sorting, which would also be a nice thing to have, the main thing to me still is having the option for selective cleanup. It would help performance like loading times as well.

PLEASE

#

the lag this game gave me bc of this broke my last save

# plush otter I have a few that I don't like the appearances of but can't seem to change their...

pretty sure the only followers you cant change the appearance of are the bishops and the abominations(the weird baby followers). you are able to re-indoctrinate p much all other followers

i agree tho, selective cleanup would be amazing and super helpful. i have had 151 followers and have 26 alive as of now and id much like to trim that list, especially if i were able to see all their traits before purging

#

day idk how many of asking for this

neat hedge
#

yea seriously we need this

#

did some devs read it yet

#

if yes pls confirm

#

day idk how many of asking for this. 230 dead followers and me game fully freezes for 30-40 seconds when i open the resurrection list 😭😭😭😭

#

i own cotl on pc and switch, and the lag is on both devices. 230 followers on pc and 194 on the switch, both have that 30-40 sec lag. at some point im just not gonna open the resurrection list because of it 😭

plush otter
#

I just want to either be able to change the appearances of the special follower children that I don't like being stuck with (including color options) or delete them, whichever is easier to implement

glass jackal
#

if anyone needs help after they completed all the follower permentant sacrifice quests if you can lose them by stuffing them with sin until they're possessed

plush otter
glass jackal
#

except if you use the go home ability on crusades (forgot the name) you can lose them forever

#

i think

#

works most of the time

#

@plush otter

glass jackal
#

when you see the sinned on your next crusade, leave

#

still need a better way for permanent removal tho

We need some way to delete followers from dead & resurrection lists. Maybe with exceptions of named followers, like ||bishops ||or ||Narinder||.

coarse inlet
#

bump 7

simple condor
#

So, should we bump it once per day, or just once per active-discord-user?

By the way... bump 8.

plush otter
#

If people bump a thread, they should at least include a new comment with it

#

Developers already review all the threads

simple condor
#

So... as we are here. Why does the game use encrypted save?
It does not look like save need to be compressed. And average user will not come to edit save blindly; even if they did... they can blame themself for any potential problems.

I'd say put it on a timer of sorts.
Example: How about for every day that passes, there is a higher chance that the dead followers would be removed from the resurrection list?
Example 2: Let there be a minimum of ten days that a follower ends up getting deleted from the resurrection list?
An exception to this would be favorited followers and quest specific followers, of course.
I would never want to delete Rinor and girlfailure Jalala. I'd even favorite them after the quest is over.
Would it be difficult to implement with twitch integration with followers with twitch usernames? Would that be handled differently?

Hello! We listen and implement as much as we can in-game, and we're continuing to do so with each update. Unholy Alliance was built up entirely of community requests and suggestions. Unfortunately I am just one person, so I cannot talk to everyone in the Discord, but I try my best as we continue to work through all the current bugs that need squashing.

Regarding this suggestion, it's something I have discussed with the team a few times on the best way to do it. I'm not sure yet whether it will definitely come in a patch, but we are aware it has been highly requested. It's just a matter of how we can implement it in a way that makes sense not only for players, but for us game design and coding wise.

#

Regarding the bumping, you may have missed it as it's a fairly recent change to the suggestion system, but we try to discourage bumping now as it buries previous conversation the more it's done. Instead, we would appreciate if you could elaborate on your idea - for example, a way you think it would work, or adding anything else on. Essentially anything to add to the conversation 🙂
