Icons were treated by other team members.

📖  Doctrines

Declaring a doctrine allows the player to unlock rituals, follower traits, buildings, or follower commands. Some are also unlocked throughout the game's story.

👑  Crown Upgrades

When the player defeats one of the four Bishops, they'll receive a Heart of the Heretic to unlock a permanent ability. These abilities make crusade runs a little easier. For example, once a day the player can eat a meal to receive a blue 'shield' heart, or return to base at any point.

🗺️  Crusade

When players go on a Crusade (in the 'dungeon'), they'll be presented a choice to select a path to a new area. These icons represent what player's will encounter by choosing any given area, and if there are any modifiers.

🏆  Achievements

Achievement icons are used across all platforms and in various sizes. Each icon, if not a hidden achievement, also have a 'locked' version.

💬  Twitch Manipulations (Help/Hinder)

Viewers of Twitch steamers can vote to manipulate the player's game, either in a helpful or detrimental way.
