You're in trouble and need help? Perform a ritual for the gods and you might get it. There are three types of rituals:
Divine service, requirement - 3rd level XP
You could organize a small divine service in honour of the gods. If they are satisfied, you could get some coins, resources or army. Naturally, you could also stay empty handed.
Price - 10 coins
Sacrifice, requirement - 15th level XP
Sacrifices are a good way to win the gods on your side. If you succeed, they will send you army, resources or coins, but it is possible that they stay uninterested to your efforts.
Price - 30 coins
Games honouring the Gods, requirement - 1st level Order
Gods are pretty vain and that's why organizing games in their honour might be a good idea. Especially if you catch them in a good mood, they could even give a nobleman as a reward. However, as every other powerful creature the gods rarely consider other's desires, so they can just skip your efforts.
Price - 100 coins
Do not try too hard in your attempts to win the gods on your side, cause they don't like to be bothered by mortals too often. That is why you're only allowed to perform 2 rituals per day (3 for VIP users).
