Religion Causing Civil War

Don't you think that if you have 2 religions in your civ it should make a percentage chance of causing a civil war, the more of each religion there is the higher the percentage and also higher if you own 1 or both holy cities. Look at iraq as a example they r saying it could split into three sections a kurdish, sunni and shi'ite(spelling?)sections and they are all fighting for dominance and power in iraq, it would be interesting and add a edge to the religion aspect to civ if this could happen. One problem with it is that it may offend some ppl depending on who wins it but i really dnt like the type of ppl who get really sensitive about religion they tend to annoy me so screw them

Good idea, civil wars should really be caused by religions. And religions could split in 2/3 sections sometimes, like Christianity=Orthodox, Catholicism, Protestant or Buddhism=Theravada, Mahayana.

i also think that your civics should cause civil wars like the english civil war with the parlimentarians and the royalists, and not having emancipation should not only cause unhappyness but you should get small armys appearing in your territory with a barbarian flag but a notice tells you why they have spawned, also should happen when you discover techs like communism and fascism becuase when these concepts were realised there were uprisings in countries were people believed in them e.g Russia, Germany, Italy

i Knew about this mod, i meant that this concept should be put into the core game

I like the idea of a civil wars, but I wonder if using religion to be the cause of it, is workable. Since you should be able to eradicate a religion from your city to prevent that then, and go into theocracy as soon as you can.

You could give each city 4 or more slots to add religion. But those slots would work in a percentage way. One religion slot would be like 25% at 4 slots, and 20% at 5 slots. And with 1 or 2 slots that are reserved for foreign or non state religions. So that you could only convert your own cities for about 50% or 66%.

You might wanna change that link in your sig, its pretty dead.

Thanks for telling, Pitboss.

Idea with slots is good one, but I think better would be a simple bar with percentage of participation of each faith. Dominant would be the biggest one.

Percentage would increase due to:
1. Open Borders agreement
2. Buildings
3. State religion
4. Missionary actions

and decrease because of:
1. Inquisition
2. Theocracy
