Excellent point, but I imagine all it does is spawn a hyped up unbidden.
I was sarcastic, there are probably hidden drawbacks that only become apparant later on.
I'm gonna skip reading this because it looks very spoiler-y, but from what I've seen, interesting stuff indeed.
The shroud will give you power, and fill you with Hunger. You will go into the North. Do not do this.
To be honest this one is so obvious in wrecking you later, that I'd choose it only to see what happens after and then re-load.
RE: The End of the Cycle. Worst it could do (outside of some sort of obnoxious meta-y gimmickry, but that's not Paradox's style) is give a total game over in month 601. No fleet/leviathan to battle, no event chain to slip out of, just a black splotch on the map filled with empty, silent cities where your empire used to be.
Anything else is just a challenge to be conquered.

A spoiler tag would be fine.....It's a heavy spoiler for those who want to discover their own.
I feel like, maybe, wiz is spoil(er)ing us too much.
Now I wish I wouldn't have been following the teaser.

Sounds intensely creepy. Love it! That being said, I really hope that we will have many options to approach the Shroud and its covenants, other than "bring the end of the world VS refuse it and be bored". What if we trick the Devil? What if we become the Devil itself? What if we replace God with something better? What if we become one with the Khala? What if we are able to see what the afterlife is like? What if we reach Paradise? So, so, many wildly different directions to go with this ascension, I hope that developers explore them all!
Now I'm extremely curious about the Whisperes of the Void and The End of the Cycle, the last appears much more dangerous than the former.
The devs keep playing with us, showing how cool it is, but not giving it. Like when tease dogs with treats but never giving them.

Did someone say "Contracts"? ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
In all seriousness, that chain looks pretty great. I'd stay away from the End, though. I'm expecting your stuff to turn into Unbidden and spawn them right on top of your empire after that period of time. Or the End going full Orz (from Star Control 2) against you and basically erasing your empire from existence.
I have to ask, these are pretty clearly teasers from the upcoming update. If you don't want any spoilers, why did you even read this thread? By definition, it's all spoilers.

My guess is that because it mentions 'end of a cycle' and the bonuses are for a period of time, this means that at the end of this point the cycle might end with horrible consequences. Honestly that'd be a funny 'game over' situation, you dont pay it any mind then a great disaster destroys your empire. *chuckle*
See it rise, the mighty Shroud
Destroyer of the universe
Bringer of flames and endless hurt
Scorcher of men and earth
See it die, the mighty Shroud
Destroyer of the universe
Drowning in waves that floods the earth
The beginning, of a new rebirth

damnit i cant take this hype
Yeah, I'd say a 100% chance that the moment those 600 months of Doubled Everything are over, something cataclysmic happens to your empire.
You're giving yourself 50 years to prepare yourself to survive it and still come out ahead, whatever it may be.
