So they're betas in everything but name.
Because Piety is a constantly decreasing value, it's important to know how you get Piety. The primary way to get piety is through the Inquisition Process; a new process like Wealth or Research that all cities must be constructing in order to grant +1 Piety per city. This is the most reliable means of counteracting the piety decay rate, but certainly the most demanding. Therefore, there are a number of alternative ways to get piety: Decisions, Events, Policies, and Beliefs all confer ways to get Piety. In addition, whenever another Civilization or Religious City-State adopts your State Religion, all followers of that State Religion gain a one-time boost to Piety, and when you conquer a city with followers of your State Religion under the control of a heathen, you gain piety equal to the number of followers 'liberated'.
For the most part, you'll find that heresy (the lowest level of your piety) will only trouble the negligent, or those devoted to the religion game (those who would go on to found a Religious Institution). It is an excellent way to play the religion game passively, however; to gain the benefits of a religion too far away for the AI to ever spread to you.
Piety is also afforded as a percentage of the Piety you lack; so Piety you earn from a decision will be greater the lower your level. This precludes the need for the system to adjust to game speed.
Does P&P feature any form of paganism?
Sort of, but it's relatively featureless. Pagans will be disliked by - some - leaders with a State Religion, and Pagans have access to a unique decision (which varies depending upon what Pantheon you choose; "Perform Sacred Mysteries," "Perform Fertility Rites", etc. ), and, of course, you're noted as Pagan in the UI. Otherwise, there's not much to it. I'm open to ideas, but don't think there's much room for improvement. You've always got Lithuania for the full, pagan experience
Wow I don't know, it is kinda hard what to suggest considering I don't know what we are limited to, maybe "Expend Pantheon" option for the Great Prophet which allows you to add an additional pantheon belief, I have more idea to expend upon this but I have bad feeling that this is not possible so I just want a confirmation.
I'm confused, does that mean we might be penalized for choosing a specific religion in game (i.e. Hinduism, Taoism, Tengriism, Shinto, all of which are technically "paganism" vs. say the Christianities, Judaism, and Islam).
Pagan in the general sense of a disorganised religion, not in the sense of non-Abrahamic religions.
You could always make it that it does!It is possible, I think - though complicated - but probably not really compatible with the principle of the mod, and I don't want to overload it with superfluous mechanics unrelating to Piety.
What about the More Pantheons addon?You assume correctly; there is no compatibility issues with any mod that adds new religions.
Y
What about the More Pantheons addon?
So, any progress on this mod?
Hi JFD, brilliant project, I will definitely use it.
One question: Is it possible to link a religious institution to more than one religion?
So that it can be used with more religious denominations (using Tomatekh amazing work, for example).
Thank you in advance and keep up the good work!
EDIT: sorry, reding the past comments I realized the Rel. Inst. is not linked to a religion but to a Wonder, never mind.
Hey dude, I have a suggestion well an option rather, is it possible to make sure that religions can only be founded by certain civilizations? it would be awesome ot have an option for this, as sometimes I dont like it when English found Buddhism, In my games I like a bit of real historic history. Anyway would be good if possible.
