Tips on a cannibal run?

[Bartowski]

I have both the DLC. I have yet to play the newest though, so i don't know how its mechanics work.
So for starters, how do i make my guys cannibal? How do i recruit others to my cannibalistic group? Can i raid others, capture their people, and bring them back?

I guess what im wondering is how will ideology affect this? Is it a decision you make early in the game, or is it more of a later game thing?

Any tips to make my run more enjoyable would be greatly appreciated.

I've had so much fun doing a Cannibal run after watching ambiguousamphibian on Youtube, he gives a lot of tips :)

If you don't want to reroll endlessly or use a mod, you can just pick the cannibalism ideology meme or set cannibalism to acceptable or preferred or whatever. Then all your starting pawns and all those you successfully convert will be A-okay with eating people.

Also, yes, you can raid for captives to eat, just down them, then you'll have the option to take them with you when you reform your caravan when leaving the map. You don't actually need to do this though, enemy raiders and visitors will provide you with more meat than you know what to do with.

I would not sell my prisoners to slavery. I would Organ-murder all of them, then butcher them. Also, don't directly feed humans to animals, feed them kibble to stretch it out.

Eat people before they eat your people

With ideology you can either start out with cannibal meme or do a fluid ideology and change it when you are ready.

Nice! Im gonna make a town like Terminus on Walking dead! Friendly on the outside, but Surprise cannibal

That sounds like spoilers. I'm not really interested in the show, so I don't know how old the reference is (it might be old enough to be free game), but do try to keep in mind some people may yet be planning to watch it.

[Bartowski]

Ah my bad. It is fairly early in the show. season 3 or 4ish iirc. Which was a long time ago

It'll be awhile till you're swimming in human meat, the first raids and camps are a little sparse till you've built up some wealth. You'll likely want to supplement the flesh with a few animals while things ramp up
