Adding a mission for unit

[Keraunos]

For a long time I try to implement "destroy mission" for missionaries. I tried to track down how TheLopez was able to add a mission, but failed

Earlier, I managed to limit religions to 3 (here's the link - post 8th:http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=183537), and I want to merge them into single one.

I search for any help/feedback/pointer. I can mod .xml, other extenstions can cause me some problems. I tried to search through tutorials section but I realy don't know where to begin

Implementing missions require SDK work. Check out this tutorial:

Give it a read-through. If you're getting lost, then you're probably best trying to go another route. I would suggest Action Buttons, which allow you to make buttons that work like missions using python.

Are you talking about a mission to remove a religion from a city? If you are I just want to let you know that I am working on a new inquisition mod with a twist...

@Gerikes: Thanks, working Action button will be enought and I shall work on this unless..

@TheLopez: I must admit I enjoy your mods much, so I'd probably use yours
Do you plan do do something "big", like creating Inquisitor unit again? I'd like to help if you could use some.. (However, I'll probably be off tue-fri)

Here are my views on religion. IMHO, earlier, under organised religions (not pagan politheism) having more then one religion in a city/civ was quite a problem, expecialy during some "civic's time". In civ4, multiple religions give almost only advantages: ability to swich to increase relations, later big boost to happiness under Free Religion (making it obvious and only choice as religious civic late in-game)

Here are my proposals:
-give each non-foreign religion -1 to happiness through GlobalDefines.xml
-(probably) also give boost for happiness for state religion under Paganism and Pacifism (as religion doesn't cause so many problems under these civics)
-give Missionaries ability to "Destroy Religion" in a city (as I think that Inquisitor unit is too much: one religion unit will be sufficent, and won't require another building; also missionary will gain a little more flexibility)

This will give more options for players, yet another possibility to choose:

-choose Paganism/Pacifism; religion won't have big impact on your empire (other then civic's effect)

-choose Organized Religion/Theocracy: play similar to European Middle Ages-you get a lot of adventages (civic-included), but you have to pay some attention to religion. Religion Wars are more likely, and, as civs tend to go in "blocs" (more difficult to convert a country), it creates similar culture-clash conflict as European Middle Ages.

-choose Free Religion: as written above, it's not as obvious as late-game choice as earlier (anyway, we see many countries today that don't share free religion and gain some benefits - Iran makes fine example), and civ that don't use it wont be severly penalized.. It's a choice for plyayer who don't want to focus on fighting religion, or is tired/unsuccessful in doing so . Or for the one that too many tried to convert.. It will greatly depict today Western Societies, multicultural and multireligious

Anyway, that's my 0.02 And if you won't use it, I'll probably use your mod..or modify it, under permission

Cheers

Once again, TheLopez reveals his 'bot' nature with an announcement of a new mod coming out right on the heels of his last one . I too absolutely LOVE everything he has put out for the Civ community, and Firaxis could do a LOT worse than implementing at least a third of his great changes.
His work also continues to be a major inspiration to me, as I struggle to become even a fraction of the modder that he already is .
At this point, I will cease my slavish praise before TheLopez goes a very deep shade of scarlet .

One of the things I am hoping to do-as soon as I can get the coding to work properly-is to seperate religious civics into Doctrine and Relations. The former defines how the State Religion effects the cities it occurs within-so an Ascetic Doctrine improves the health and happiness of State Religion Cities (lots of Yoga, incense and self-denial), wheras a Fundamentalist doctrine makes it easier to control those of the Faith, but at a cost to research.
The latter is how your religion-and nation-impacts on other religions and nations. So an Evangelical civic would give you a Missionaries without the need for Monastaries, and a bonus to religion spread generally, but at a cost of non-state faith happiness. An Insular Civ might have no non-state religion spread, and a bonus to culture in state-religion cities, but at a cost of reduced religion spread and/or an inability to build missionaries.
Hope that makes sense, and here's hoping that I can make it a reality.
