Please allow some mass collecting of follower level up rewards.

[white parrot]

Even if it is a limited mechanic as in it is tied to the daily sermon (only those who have pending level ups or gained it from the sermon will be collected. You can individually collect any other level ups or wait until the next day.)
I'm late game and an unreasonable amount of time is spent constantly trying to both select the followers and going through the same level up animation.

[heavy cargo]

Please why is it one by one

[white parrot]

I can understand the novelty or feeling of progression when you are starting off and even just going along midgame, but when you get to 25+ followers and can do a lot of things that increase their level then it becomes too much overhead to constantly be on-top of

How about a further restriction, when your church hits level 3 it empowers the sermon to do this.

I could also see there being a new, but somewhat expensive late game faith building that they can go to to level up

[mighty wharf]

I fully agree with this, even without the fact that leveling up 25+ in a day is nearly impossible, I have to re-assign houses to pull focus followers away from the mob just to level them up... it's a severe hassle...

[crisp pulsar]

maybe something like an upgrade to the fire at the lamb statue, where followers pending a level up can level up and deposit the devotion into the statue

[mighty wharf]

I just want them to not be stuck and unable to level up, even if it was as simple as losing out on devotion so they can keep leveling lol

[tacit cedar]

YES PLEASE I HAVE FORTY FOLLOWERS AND THIS IS BECOMMING ALL THAT I DO

[tacit cedar]

I have 40 followers and I have actually had 37 of them ALL LEVEL UP AT ONCE because I did an ascension of an elderly person. Hunting them all down to get them leveled up kept me from doing SO MUCH other stuff. PLEASE, devs, LET US COLLECT LEVEL UP REWARDS AT THE END OF SERMONS EN MASS following a certain point in the game or unlock!!!

[mighty wharf]

imagine over 260

best thing I can suggest in the mean time is to claim rewards at night when they're sleeping

[tacit cedar]

That's what I try to do, but the animation takes time so I can only get through about a quarter of them. Also, wow. I think my Switch would implode if I had that many followers.

Hugely vibe with this suggestion

I've been trying to get like as large a cult as possible and it does get frustratingly difficult to collect the rewards imo

Another possible middle ground suggestion instead of just a generic group collection option that occurred to me is to make another ritual out of it?

Cause in some sense I like the vibe of the lamb individually acknowledging their followers and so having a super free mass collection could contradict that

But yeah

Shoutout cult of the lamb though, goated game

[tacit cedar]

I think the ability to level up and collect devotion en mass from a sermon should be something you can unlock on the devotion tree, preferably pretty high up, that way we can't do it until late game anyway. Piggybacking this ability on the sermon makes perfect sense, and since we can only do a sermon once a day, if any followers level up after the sermon, we'd still have to run around and get them or wait on it. It's pretty self-balancing.

[brittle ginkgo]

I like that idea that makes sense

[blissful socket]

and while we are at it a tythe plate at the sermons to collect the coin

[brittle ginkgo]

Doesn't that exist

Or is this a way of saying there already is a mass collection method

Or am I missing something
