v.10.3.a

-Small update to correct the Mesoamerican Denominations crash, should have no impact on existing saves. However, remember to reset the configuration file to your preffered settings before loading an older save.
Okay, Part 3 of the update. I know it’s soon after the previous one, but I didn’t want to leave the issues I mentioned hanging:

- Catholicism and Orthodoxy use their updated icons
- Pedia entries now correctly update with config options
- The custom name option now pre accommodates some mods without support
- Added a German translation by stevie-the-curious (thanks!)
- General bug and text fixes

The strategic view pressure icons used in the religion lens are still not working. I couldn’t figure them out just yet :/ but will implement them at a later date.

Unless there’s a game-breaking bug to fix, the next update probably won’t be for a while so I can work on new content for the mod.
v. 10 Part 2

- All religions re-enabled and fully functional with the religion lens
- Config file re-enabled
- Added the ‘HR_CUSTOM_NAMES’ option to the config file. When enabled, all historical religions not preferred by a leader or included in the base game will function as a custom icon.

- Miscellaneous bug, compatibility, and text fixes

~~~

Still To Do For Part 3 (Sometime Next Month)

- Set Catholicism and Orthodoxy to use their updated icons
- Add strategic view icons for the lens
- Correct the pedia to properly update entries when changing denominations in the config file

- Additional config file options

~~~

NOTE: Mod updates break saved games made with the previous version. If Steam updates your mod automatically, there is a download link for the previous version at the bottom of the mod description (above) which you can use to continue your saved game.
v.10 Update (Part 1)

So, good news and slightly disappointing news. As many of you know, the Religion Lens issue has plagued this mod since last October. Leugi (the amazing modder that he is) finally solved the issue! However, it was only solved last week. It actually takes some time to implement the fix, as I need to manually do it for every icon in the mod (all 140 of them). Needless to say a week is not nearly enough time to do them all. In the meantime, I also needed to post an update so the mod can load with Rise and Fall as well as a general leader preference update.

So, in order to post a working update as soon as possible, I’ve made the compromise to set the mod to load in “Light Mode”. Light Mode is normally an option in the mod’s config file where the mod only adds about ~10 new religions to accommodate preferences for all the officially included leaders. The Light Mode religions are now all fully functional (icons, religion lens, historic moments) and up to date.

Essentially, this is part 1 of the update. The mod works again, all the new leaders have preferences, and I have more time to work through the remaining 110 icons. When they are finished, I’ll post part 2 which will re-enable all the religions as well as the config file options. Hopefully, part 2 won’t take too long. In the meantime, I hope everyone understands and can still enjoy the mod.

Thanks!
