Calypso's Colored Religion Icons (Civ V G&K)
(Basic): No new religions. Recolors existing religions. Should I expand on this mod and add new religions with colored icons, "basic" denotes that this is the simplist version of the Calypso Colored Religion mods.
This is a simple mod I put together with intensions of dynamically recoloring the religious icons in Civilization V Gods & Kings. The mod does not add any new religions, but only recolors the existing ones so that they are quickly recognizable and the world map is a bit more vibrant.
This mod is designed to function on its own or while playing the "Into the Renaissance" scenario.
Additionally, this mod does not affect saved games. This means that it can be used immediately with your existing saves, and a game saved while using this mod can be used later with or without the mod. On the downside, this mod will need to be reloaded from the in-game "MODS" panel each time it is used.
To sum it up, while using this mod, the religions featured will be (as in the base game):
-Buddhism
-Christianity
-Confucianism
-Hinduism
-Islam
-Judaism
-Shinto
-Sikhism
-Taoism
-Tengriism
-Zoroastrianism
-Orthodoxy (Renaissance Scenario Only)
-Protestantism (Renaissance Scenario Only)
To start a game with the Renaissance scenario, open the in-game "MODS" panel and check off both this mod and the "Into the Renaissance" scenario mod (you will need to have the "Show DLC Mods" option selected to do so). Then, pressing next, select "Custom Game" and proceed to load the scenario as you normally would.
Most of the icons preserve their original shape and are simply recolored. The exception is the Christianity icon. I've blended its shape with that of the Protestantism icon (used in the Renaissance scenario), and then colorized it along with the rest. The three flavors of Christianity used by that scenario should visually flow together a bit better now.
My color palette and designs were inspired by reference photos, the religion icons from Civ IV, and the religion pips from Empire Total War.
This mod should be compatible with most other mods, except those that also recolor religious icons (such as Toft's Colored Religions Mod). While this mod will work with others that add religions, it will of course not recolor them, so expect the game to then have an odd mix of colored and uncolored icons (if, for example, using Tomatekh's Historical Religion mods).
For those who are interested in modding, you may want to take a look at my XML files in the mod package. There I've commented out exactly why each line is there and what it does.
