This was incredibly painful to put so much time into a really clever game only to be locked from finishing the game because priests can not get any form of training so I can not get the cog icon and the rest of the icons for the generation ship. How in the world can I possibly win with that condition and only one slot? Not even socialism will help with the bottleneck due to specialists still being needed to get energy marker.
Overall, great concept, I love the events and programming. I hate the impossible ending though.
I actually finished the game as a priest during testing! It is a cool challenge.
You can get hammers through socialism, and energy with plastic through autocracy. The latter is kinda slow, so you would want to downsize your population to get it faster.
I would expect most people to put the cog onto the Specialist instead through autocracy, which is way faster.
