When it comes to the Flamewave League and the Forestgale Alliance, you’ll have to make a choice. Each side has its own benefits, and determining who to give your support to is relatively important. Here’s everything you need to know about Cinq and the ongoing war.
The Flamewave League Vs. The Forestgale Alliance
When you arrive in Cinq, you’llmeet the different priestsof the Flamewave Leage and the Forestgale Alliance. While on the surface they allseem to get along, there are underlying tensions thatstrive for war.
The four elements at play are Flame, Forest, Gale, and Wave.
The leaders can befound at their corresponding temples, and speaking to them all reveals thateach one wants your helpto destroy the opposing group. You’ll have tomake a choiceto support one or the other, and yourdecision impacts the fate of Cinqand the temples.
While you cansupport any of the four priests, you will ultimately have todecide on one faction. There is no neutral option.
Through aseries of battlesto defend the denizens of Cinq while theyimprove their infrastructure, you’ll build trust with either the Flamewave League or the Forestgale Alliance.
You’ll only need tobuild two structuresfor one of the opposing groups for them todecimate their enemies. That leads to the question: which side should you take?
Which Side Should You Choose?
Between the Flamewave League and the Forestgale Alliance, theonly real difference is the materialsyou’ll get. Whoever you choose to support will besuccessful in the war, and the opposing temples will be destroyed.
Ultimately, the denizens of the remaining factions aren’t satisfied with destroying the opposing alliance and will demand you choose a side again. Based on the upgrades you want and the materials you need, you shouldpick the corresponding priestto assist.
Siding with the Forest Temple will provide materials like Cypress when completing the lumber mill.
Does Your Choice Matter?
Yes and no. If you’re not keen on any of the priests, you canpick one at random. At the end of the Visions, before leaving Cinq, you’llreflect on your choices, but they won’t follow you to the next world.
Ameya initially remarks thatthe outcome doesn’t matter, and in terms of gameplay, it doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. However, if you’rehunting specific resources, that may influence your decision.
