Build a shrine to a given giant within your garden (good use for blocks/wood)

It would be nice to be able to build a shrine to a given giant within your backyard.  This should give you bonuses for that giant (either just at that shrine or all shrines) but also a slight reduction at other giants due to you not favoring them.

Maybe depending on the grade of the blocks it should give different levels of bonus.

Note: edited to change god to giant... wrote when tired.

  • I like the idea of having a shrine in one's home. However, the shrines are dedicated to giants- you typically only hear GOD if something has gone very wrong and the game is going to be refreshed!

  • I think this is a great idea.  I think that the whole idea of planks being used solely for food is a little strange, and this seems like a much more appropriate use for them.

  • Seems to me you'd have to learn a high level skill of some kind before being able to build a working shrine.  Having a skill for that would be fun too.

  • I also like the idea of a home shrine as the central hearth of a house

  • I think this would be a great ability to gain with Piety II and perhaps Tinkering or Engineering.  It should be pretty expensive, and should probably either be moved or removed when the house is sold.  Or maybe all houses should come with a generic shrine that you can "dedicate" for bonuses when you have the proper skill and materials.

  • Not a big fan of this honestly because you're not supposed to favor one giant over the other, and this goes more towards people favoring a single giant who they keep a shrine of to themselves, seems sketchy.

  • Pffy seems sketchy? I think it seems awesome! Your bound to have one skill you favor over the rest and as a result a giant (for me its Cosma), although you'll need em all as you go through the game and get all skills the idea of your personal favorite at home is +1 could link it to the other thread with the idea of getting to become a Deciple of a certain giant which could lead you down a unique quest path or unlock skills only available to deciples (i.e meditative 5, or a better cooking / mining etc) that way some of us would have skills most others wouldnt and make us feel unique

  • They are GIANTS. Giants No where in the description of the game have I seen them refered to as gods. Maybe we should morph the "shrine" into a trash chute where the giants can then collect from a dumpster in hell.

  • Love this idea. I do appreciate the thought that we shouldn't really necessarily favour one giant over the others but is there any reason why we couldn't have a carousel shrine.. press a button and it spins to Cosmo.. spin again and it's Alph.. you see? Or indeed perhaps 11 mini shrines....

  • How about a generic shrine that becomes specific when you place an emblem upon it?

    So, it's Cosma while it bears the Emblem of Cosma, and Alph when you change it to the Emblem of Alph. You can only change the emblem once per day, so you're not grinding donations. (You obviously have to have the emblem for the giant you prefer.)
