After playing this mod for several months, practicly non-stop, and begining to make senarios, something has been troubling me: The lack of religions. I mean, for a senario creator, it's a nightmare. For a hardcore civ player, it's a nightmare (Atleast, it is to me and my friends). Religious differences make for a more intresting, and more historical game. I mean come on, having a United Christian Europe all buddy buddy 95%of the time when the player is European get's old fast.
Regarding senarios: It's something that makes me twitch just thinking about it. Having Russia and Leon getting the "We care for our brothers and sister's of faith" during a Middle Age senario. Or between the Byzantines and the Papal states in a 1300s senario. So, what I propose, is expanding upon religions. Something like:
1.Zoroastrain
2.Orthodoxy
3.Protestantism
4.Shi'a
5.Shinto
6.Greek Mythology
7.Druidism
And change 'Christianity' to 'Catholicism'. And 'Islam' to 'Sunni'
Perhaps we can use Rapture as a base, that is, the religions are founded by a GP? For example:
Orthodoxy:
Founded by: A Great Prophet in a Catholic city
Shrine: Haigha Sopia: +1 , Spreads Orthodoxy
In addition to making the game more challenging, new religions can play crutial parts in Revolutions, allowing for more revolutions per game, thus improving gameplay drasticly, without the need of new technologies! It'll also add the sense of historical accuracy to the game that some, if not many, people strive for. What do you guys think?
