Festival of Colors: Holi Event Chapter 2

Honest question: If you're having to give tips for Chapter 1 of this event, how many people have actually completed it?  I'm thinking it's not that many.

With the right settings it was not so hard to get "Shrewd General", but for several days now I fail over and over again to get "Smite the Wicked", even though I downloaded a bunch of Personas so I can set up a game with only Traitorous AIs!!!

It is way to random, depending on AI's behavior. Level 1 or 2 Hero Badge would be OK. 

Honestly, if even the tip says that we just need to earn third level as Mughals, then it should be just about getting the Hero badge as them on any level.

I really don't care about the event, I started a new game, had a marvelous start, it's going fine, I won't be able to complete any of the event challenges. So I'm done, I won't be starting over and over again, especially that I like to play on Endless, so by the time I'm fully certain it won't click it's dozens of hours of gameplay. It's really frustrating, just give us multiple avatars, dangling AI Persona like a carrot over an event is just annoying, finding g2g personas without ridiculous names doesn't work, I'm already angry that I need to play against some of the streamers with random or non-localized (yes, forgive me, but if I don't know the letters that are used then presenting it in those letters really doesn't help to remember it) names, because I foolishly connected accounts and now have no way to filter them out.

I am just, so, so fucking tired of playing against blue people or pink people, or yellow gun guys. I want to play against the avatars, but the game makes me walk an extra mile to remember who my opponents are. And now 'oh, a possibility of new opponent'? That should be amazing, but instead it's 'yeah, no, I pass, just not worth the effort'.

How do you get House of the Holi? I had enough holy sites. Do I need a religion called Hinduism?

Did you switch your religion to Hinduism when you added a new tenet? If I remember correctly you can open a menu with religions and you can adjust your religion there.

Personally, I am also curious how many people finished the first chapter >.>

So I can't create my own religion and do it? Also no other religions for me, just the counter isn't going up. Na it's not worth it, not having fun either.

You just need to change its name to Hinduism. Changing its name every time you choose a new tenet means you have only four chances

Hi @Baalshazar ,

As @zhugejingqi mentioned to you, when selecting a new tenent you can change your religion (see picture). For this challenge you will need to change to Hinduisim (this will change the visual aspect).

U just can target the traitor ai 3 time. When the AI surrenders, make alliance and diplomatic requests. After repeating three rounds, you will be able to declare war again

During countless hours of playing Humankind, I never noticed that there is a dropdown menu on the tenent screen. (where is the facepalm emoticon when you need it?)

If I counted correctly, the Houses of the Holi challenge is possible to achieve if you can build all cultural wonders that count as holy sites first. But it is of course much easier to just conquer some foreign holy sites.

The Everybody Get Together challenge can be rushed with high game speed settings. On Blitz speed, affinities can be activated every two rounds. That should allow you to finish it within below 100 rounds, depending on how lucky you are with your starting position.

However, I have a problem myself. Although I became the religious leader of Hinduism and had ten holy sites, I couldn't complete the task.   It was stuck forever.

@zhugejingqi

I had the same problem, building 11 holy sites fixed the issue for me.

Smite the Wicked challenge was a nightmare. Only two AI earned Traitor badge during medieval era. When I have defeated the second one, I had to take Imperialism, then rush his remaining wandering armies, take religious hostility, give up two territories conquered in first war to get additional 20 war score and still barely managed to gather required 80 on the last turn of his Traitor's badge. Then I have made save file, as I still wanted to build khmer Barai's in cities, conquered during first war... In main save i kept khmer, and built my barays, then went Mughals as rank 3 hero. In throwaway save i went to war as Mughals, completing Smite the Wicked.

Thank you, this was worked for me, kinda of...

The trick to get a Level 3 Hero Badge is to Declare War and immediately Surrender! Then, open the Diplomacy Screen, go to the Treaties tab and propose a Non-aggression Pact. The AI will most likely refuse the proposal, causing a Grievance. Go to the Crisis tab and demand the Grievance. Next turn withdraw your Demands and propose a Non-aggression Pact again. Repeat this until you can declare a justified war (80 War Support) and surrender again.

Do this all three times and Level 3 Hero Badge is unlocked.

This worked great for me... I unexpectedly encountered an AI with lvl 2 traitor badge and this was the only reason that I was able to get it done!

Not seeing the option, quite annoying.

Duuuude, DEV Daarkarrow already told you: "when selecting a new Tenet you can change your religion."

So click on a Tenet! Select one and then the drop down menu for changing your religion appears.

Everybody Get Together: Use the Agrarian affinity 30 times in the same game.

On slow speed the ability has a 15 turn cooldown empire wide.

Slow speed games have a limit of 450 turns.

15 * 30 = 450 turns

I feel like I'm getting trolled, lol.

I'll have to pick agrarian the entire game and keep playing past the turn limit.

Anyone else running into events not being completed when you do them? I had to get 11 religious sites. And I just had a Expansionist surrender that had a vassal and that one isn't being completed.
