Cults are notoriously known to be imbalanced in mafia games because of alignment changes. In this thread, you can discuss how game hosts can balance cults. You can give ideas on balanced game setups with Cults.
Cult
The Cult is an Informed Minority Anti-Town faction. Where it differs from a Mafia, however, is in it's main ability. Where a Mafia kills players, a Cult can recruit them into the faction. This means that the starting numbers of a Cult are usually small, with the idea of them growing the longer the Cult survives in a game. A Cult cannot recruit players belonging to Mafia factions and other Cult factions. The Cult has a means of communication between members outside of the game thread to communicate with each other. The nature of how the Cult works means that they are harder to balance and roles typically change upon being recruited into the Cult to prevent them from being overpowered. The Cult wins when it eliminates all the Pro-town and Anti-town factions in the game or if they obtain a majority of the votes. The Cult can win with Neutral alignments. The Cult is officially represented by the colour Orange #ff9900.
