Actually I was just playing India, happiness was not really a problem because all your cities will have few workable tiles and there's health cap as well. Of course after Calendar the situation is much better.
That's the point of the unhappiness mechanism. The actual Indians didn't do that, too, maybe for a reason?When you found Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Catholicism, Islam and have Confucianism it does become a problem
The red exclamation mark means that you changed a file on your own, so that it's not identical to the online repository anymore. Don't know how that happened - you better delete all files with red exclamation marks and update the containing folder again.There's something wrong with the DLL in my latest update (it shows a red exclamation mark). I believe it makes the embassies in my game all screwed up (I can build embassies for dead civs and civs i dont have contact with but not for my neighbours). Does anyone know how to fix this?

Zoroastrianism, Catholicism and Islam not among themIndia in real life has buckets of religions
Zoroastrianism, Catholicism and Islam not among them
India has the world's largest Zoroastrian community, over 100 million Muslim, Catholicism has 17 million adherents and it does in fact have an (oriental) Orthodox community probably dating to thed first century. Oh and then there is Jainism and Sikhism.
India is on a separate continent from Persia meaning the AI can't spread Zoroastrianism via missionary. Kolachi on the west bank of the Indus (in other words where Karachi is) is on that continent too meaning my missionaries can't see it via automationIslam's spread into India is already simulated very well with the Mughals.
However, I do think Zoroastrianism should spread more in India. As it is now it spreads a lot into Europe instead.
This is due to the mechanism of decreased extra Religion spread possibility with the increase in the number of religions already present in a city, so that it is extremely hard to spread 4 or more religions into 1 city. I think India should be an exception to this rule.
However, I do think Zoroastrianism should spread more in India and Central Asia. As it is now it spreads a lot into Europe (particularly Rome and Greece) instead. Not very realistic.
This is why you use a proper Encyclopedia rather than Wikipedia, heh?Actually, if I might interject, because I know quite a bit about paganism/polytheism,
the cult of Mithra, who was a Yazata of the Zoroastrian religion, became quite popular
in Rome and many parts of the Roman Empire, as well as Greece.

In fact, I never understood why Judaism was replaced by Zoroastrianism. Judaism has more adherents and far greater historical influence.
How about representing Zoroastrianism with Pantheon instead, and resurrect Judaism as a special religion, like in RFCE?
(1) No Jewish Holy City/Shrines.
(2) Far less auto-spread. Auto-spread is enhanced by running Secularism.
(3) No Monasteries/Cathedrals.
(4) Jewish Quarter: boosts by 10% instead of . Does not obsolete.
At the very least, there should be no such thing as a "Zoroastrian Monastery". Confucian/Taoist Monasteries make a little more sense, but still very little.
How about Greek/Roman mythology? It was once even bigger, and the religion of the Macedonian and Roman empires, no? Zoroastrianism was displaced by Islam just as Greek/Roman mythology was displaced by Christianity. Why does one get the special treatment but not the other?Zoroastrianism was once far bigger and was the religion of the Persian Empire
Also, a Zoroastrian Temple should be called a Fire Temple, Leoreth,
Zoroastrianism was different from most religions that are covered by Pantheon. First of all, it's not polytheistic, but monotheistic. Also, it was much more institutionalized as a state religion compared to its contemporaries, only the later Abrahamic religions would provide similarly institutionalized state religions (while for example Roman polytheism was the de facto state religion due to its involvement in political rituals and later the deification of emperors, there were no real religious institutions to support this).Zoroastrianism really isn't very special among them, other than its survival into modern times, which is a historical accident IMO (please correct me if I'm wrong).
