A New Religion Idea!!!!!!!

[Red Door]

Why Tenochian?
What are the differences in the beliefs between the Aztecs and the Mayans?

 

[Quinzy]

well the aztecs basically ripped off the mayan religion. and Tenocian because of the prophet tenoch, who founded the city of Tenochtitilan. he was said to be guided by the gods into a swamp and told to probe the earth until you find the spot picked by the gods.

 

[Red Door]

Oh yeah, I remember that story from History class. Combining them into one is what I am doing with Olympus. Roman mythology is ripped off from Greek mythology so I combined them into one and named it after the first.
Updated first page with Native American religions. Will update wonders tonight.
Any new ideas for new religion wonders, UUs?

 

[Quinzy]

i gave you the 4 Navajo holy mountains already.
and for Tenochian, i'll say "The Avenue of The Dead", and "Lake Texcoco".
UU, tlaminani=(archer), tlatepozhuiani=(axe-wielder,) matlequiquizoani=(arquebusier), tlacochcalcatl=(commanding general), nonotzale=(wise one),
cuauhtli=(eagle warrior), pixeque=(guardian) and finaly, tlahuitztli=(war-device)

 

[Red Door]

Yeah I know, they'll be put in. Right now, Im supposed to be doing my homework. As of the UUs, they would be good except right now I'm working under the theory that we're using one UU per age to balance gameplay.

 

[Quinzy]

ok, use archer, eagle wrrior, guardian, arquebusier and war device (as a kind of tank?)

 

[Red Door]

yeah maybe have Native American rifleman as industrial.
What does a war device look like? And Guardian?

 

[Quinzy]

it doesnt look like anything. those are nahuatl words (lingo of the aztecs)
make them look as you want, so long as they are semi-aztec/mayan/olmec/toltec/zapotec looking.

 

[Red Door]

Its going to take a while for me to make units. I need to find a good, free studio creator. It could also be very cheap pricewise. The thing with putting this in would be, am I fantasizing this. I'm trying to stay away from making this fantasy. Im into the historical kind-of-stuff.

 

[Quinzy]

well the aztec religion is gone now, so any modern units are non-existant anyways. so why not "pretend" that they have a "war-device" tank?

 

[Red Door]

i know. But if I could put in a modern unit from the country of origin. I'm leaning towards puting in that War Device. Maybe a tank with a Mexican flag hanging from the back and its machinegunner on top could be wearing a sombrero.

 

[Quinzy]

perfect. do you want others? "tlazochimalli" means "expencive shield" so maybe another type of tank for that one?

 

[Red Door]

no, no i got an industrial. I think I need a middle ages one and a Rennasance one. An idea could be the Aztecs who fought Cortez in his invasion. I dont know what weapons they used.

 

[Red Door]

You know what I just realized. By taking out Shinto, we dont have any East Asian religions. Are you guys fine with this?

 

[Red Door]

Okay now completing UUs.
We really need some more.
Or we can go with 5 or 3 per religion?

 

[Red Door]

Does anybody have suggestions?
This is your time to get whatever unit you want in the game.

 

[Exel]

Christianity

Modern:M1 Abrams(I know its not Christian, used in predominately used in Christian countries however.)

This is an OT remark, but I simply must jump in here coz I find it amusing you should say that, since the M1 Abrams is used by more Muslim countries than by Christian countries. The former being Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, while its Western users are limited only to US of A and Australia.

 

[Red Door]

yes, thats true. But, do you have a better idea?

I found a definite answer to our debate on the date of Jesus' birth.

I was wrong.

I go to a Catholic school in Washington D.C., then we began talking about the 6 holy days and I saw my chance.

Heres what Fr. Gerald O'Connor said about the date of Christmas,

"There is no way we can tell when Jesus was born. We celebrate (Jesus' birth) Christmas on December 25th because we wanted to get rid of a Pagan festival that involved a super-being."

So you guys were right, I was wrong.

Now, lets get back to unit ideas, wonder ideas, and improvement ideas. (Something we haven't worked on yet.)

Well if Fr. Gerald says that's the truth, then it must be right, right?

So, you are a naive teenager building a mod over religion, and when #1 you don't have comprehensive knowledge of the subject #2 a cultural and educational bias apparently prevents you from expanding your scope and accepting/benefiting from the constructive criticism of others.

At least you have the creative vein, but I suggest you try thinking outside of the box. See Dead Poets Society, "Gather ye rose-buds while ye may... (free thinkers)".

Note: Olympus is a mountain. Olympic or Olympian is an adjective. Also, when the very culture you dismiss as 'copy-cats' are the founders of your particular notion of Christianity (I disbelieve its overall import, but believe in Christ, btw, not that it matters much to me), you might give them more credence. The Romans were great organizers, which means that they already had a clear understanding of advanced concepts even if lacking perhaps at some level with regard to the creative spark. One principle that they held from the beginning, and that the other cultures appear to be void of, is the concept of the trinary disposition to the God-head which may have ancient Egyptian overtones. So, being an amalgam of something more than Greek, I wouldn't be so fast to lump it as Olympian.
