Eusebius World Religions - REVIVAL

CyberChrist said:

As far as I am aware then the AI will never (on it's own accord) build any structure that will spread a religion the AI doesn't have in at least one of it's cities already ... regardless of whatever heaps of other benefits you bestow on such structures.

My suggestion is removing all religous factors from the Worldview founding structures and assigning the foundings manually using the onBuildingBuilt event.

Or ... rewrite the AI code to give it/them some sense

Does this mod not work for Vanilla for some reason?
Sounds awesome, by the way!

Wow, nice job! Like the entire concept.

I had an idea the other night watching the NGC. They where doing show on the ark of the convent. Would it not be a great idea to have each founding holy city get a sacred relic at the time the religion is founded? As long as the relic is within founder's cultural border, that nation will receive special bonus. If it is taken (captured like worker) then they receive negatives until it is returned. Also, possibly adding religion attribute to military units , and having bonuses over other religions units.

Not sure how hard this would be to implement. I think I might give it a try. Would like some feedback as if this seems like a nice enhancement.

Hi Eusebius, great revamp of an already great mod!

I know I brought this up in your other thread for EWR, but I'm still trying to cannibalize parts of your mod to work with mine, and have met little success. Examining the new code for Revival only intimidated me more.

I'd like to make a general plea to anyone who knows what they're doing in Python for help with HephMod. I haven't added any religions, and I don't use the True Prophets mechanics for founding new religions. All I want to use from EWR are the mechanics for religion spread and religious conversion (including destruction of idols). Any suggestions as to how to add only these components?

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated! I love these concepts and want to put them to work for me!

1. From assets\python, I took the subdirectory EWR, CvUtil.py and euMap.py, and entrypoints\CvGameInterfaceFile.py and copied them to HephMod.
2. I edited CvCustomEventManager.py to add the EWR stuff.
3. I edited Civ4ReligionInfo.xml and changed all the founding techs to TECH_FUTURE_TECH as a place holder.
4. I edited Civ4BuildingInfos.xml for all the shrines. I changed all the the <HolyCity> fields to NONE. I changed <PrereqTech> to the techs that used to be in Civ4ReligionInfo for each shrine.
5. I edited ewr.py to disable all the religions except for the ones that come with the original game. I set the founding buildings to be identical to the shrines. This means that when a great prophet builds a shrine, they also found the religion.
6. Additionally, I added the pagan temple to Civ4BuildingInfos.xml and also tweaked monument so that it gives a +1 to generate a Great Prophet.
7. Note that my mod does not enable monasteries and missionaries for all religions; I didn't change those entires in this mod. You may want to do so (see below).
8. Lastly, I disabled the configuration file stuff in all my python files since they aren't really needed here. Tweaked a couple of other things to account for the fact that a lot of the buildings my mod assumes exist don't. Tried to comment those with 'deleted for Hephmod'.

1. The top section of ewr.py gives an enormous amount of flexibility. You can set religions to be single civ only, define who has idols and who hates them, set religions to be worldviews, decide who has temples and monasteries, etc.
2. You can customize how each religion is founded. Some may be founded by being the first to discover a tech, others by building a wonder, others by constructing a building either through a great person or conventionally.
3. The original True Prophets method utilized an additional 'FOUNDING' building for each religion. This means that it takes one great prophet to found the religion and then a second on to build a shrine. If you want to do this in HephMod, you need to add the FOUNDING buildings into the XML files and then change ewr.py so that the founding buildings correspond to those new building entries. (Don't forget to edit CIV4UnitInfos.xml if you want Great Prophets to be able to build these.)
