Oh my that looks really impressive! Great job, I think that covers a lot of religious units.

Very impressive Shiro... they all look terrific!
BTW, that is good info Steph. The AI goes after hidden nationality units as if it has a blood beef with them. Even more so than it considers going after barbarian units. So what about Barbarians with HN? Will the AI go into a frenzied craze?

Here is my first attempt at a Buddhist Monk
Default - Fortify - Attack - Attack - Run
The attack (convert) is the Buddhist symbol of a wheel appearing above the monk. And Fortify is just the attack without the wheel.

Wow these units are looking fantastic Shiro. I like the idea of the attack animations using a religious symbole to represent converting other units. I will definitely use all these units!

Alrighty, one question then why civ-specific religious techs? While this is more historical in a scenario yes, in an epic game its very limiting.
That depends upon how you implement them into an epic game. CCM for instance allow the ability to choose which religion you plan to go for and if you conquor another civ with a different religion the ability to have more than one religion.

How exactly does that work? I'm going to presume 'religious small wonders' or something along those lines?

If it was a small wonder then every civilization could build all the religions
D'oh! I don't know what I was typing/thinking - obviously religious great wonders is what I had meant

Im not happy with the attack, but it will probably be something like this:

Here is the explanation of the religious concept in CCM:

In the CCM prebetatests these hidden religious units are used and tested now for a very long time. These units not only are HN, but they are also invisible landunits. The AI doesn´t go into a "frenzied craze" with them.
And here some of the religious units of CCM are explained:

As unit graphics CCM mostly uses king unit or leader unit graphics. Shiro, your new unit graphics are very nice.
About the attack animation: Let them point at the attacked unit (with the hand or a symbol like a cross or something like that). The religious symbol for the attack is a good idea.

This is like some kind of wonderful late Christmas present. I've always wanted more religion in my games and these units are awesome!

Thank you very much!
Shiro I see you added even more I am flabergasted great work! Civinator I did not want to give ll your secrets away just a simple explanation that other things are possible
Shiro on the attack that is the hardest part with religious units but I think you are doing a great job. I am not familiar with Shinto maybe there are some things they do in prayer that you could use also.

I changed the attacks to match Plotinus' Christian Monks' attacks

Nothing against Plot - his work is fantastic and always appreciated, but personally I actually liked the monks prior to the new attack. I'd always imagined religious units as converting other civs units to my side via indoctrination; ie, religion. Not shooting magical balls at the opponent (which has a very Tim feeling to it).
Will the final units have both flics available to use?
