CultistMod
A mod for Among Us that adds a new faction, the Cultists. The Cultists start with a single Cultist that can convert crewmembers to the cult. If the cult grows large enough, the Cultists win!
How the mod works
If you just want to install the mod, go to Installation
The mod adds a new faction to the game, the Cultists. The Cultists start with a single Cultist (The Cultist Leader) that can convert other crew members to the cult. They can not convert Impostors.
If there are more cultists alive than non-cultists, the Cult wins. For example, if there are 5 players alive and 3 of them are cultists, they win. Cultists don't have any tasks (and currently no fake tasks, so if you are new to among us, you should probably play some games without this mod first) and if a crewmate gets converted, their tasks are removed. The Cultists have a maximum number of conversion they can execute, when they are out of attempts they can not convert any more members.
Depending on the settings, the Cultists have a lower overall vision and the Cult leader should carefully chose who he wants to convert.
This mod makes for some interesting overall gameplay changes because:
- The crewmates need to make sure they not only vote out Impostors but Cultists as well, otherwise the Cult will easily win.
- The Impostors need to make sure they don't kill randomly, they need to figure out who the cultist are, and make sure that they don't make the cultists win by killing a crewmate.
- There is a new aspect of changing your faction during the game. For example, someone who was confirmed by a med-scan, could be a Cultist later on!
Game Settings
This mod implements a lot of settings that can heavily change the impact of the gameplay. When you are playing with the Cultist Mod, try to find the settings that work best for your group. Depending on the settings the Cult could be very over- or underpowered, so beware!
Enable Cultist
Default: True
When enabled, the game will assign the Cultist Role to one random Non-Impostor. When disabled
the game starts without using the Cultist Mod.
Crewmates Win On Impostor Death
Default: True
When enabled, the (non-cultist) crewmates will win when the last Impostor dies. When disabled, the game continues
and the crewmates win by either completing their tasks or by voting all Cultists out.
Hint: This settings changes gameplay by quite a bit. For example: If enabled, the Cultists sometimes have to be careful to not vote out the last Impostor, because they would lose instantly.
Impostor Conversion Attempts Reduces Conversions
Default: True
When enabled, the amount of conversions will be reduced by one, even if the conversion
target was an Impostor. The conversion will always be on cooldown after an conversion attempt, regardless of the target.
Cultists Know Who The Other Cultists Are
Default: False
When enabled, the converted Cultists will know who the other Cultists are, because their names will be marked in purple.
The Cultist Leader will always know who the other Cultists are, and all Cultists always know who the leader is.
Cultist Lead Is Passed Upon Death
Default: True
When enabled, another Cultist will take the place of the Cultist Leader, if the Leader dies. When disabled, the Cult
can't recruit any more members after the Cultist Leader is dead.
Cultist Conversions
Default: 3
The maximum amount of conversions the cult can use over the course of the game.
Cooldown Between Conversions
Default: 90 Seconds
How long the cultists have to wait between conversions.
Cultist Vision Modifier
Default: 0.7
The modifier for the Cultist vision. This modifier is applied to the cremates setting vor vision, so if you play with low
crewmate vision, don't turn this too low, or the Cultists will be pretty blind!
