[BTS] 43 Religions

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

It would be nice if this was made modular but I guess your waiting for WOC for that...how will it work when its apart of WOC?

Well the SDK is being worked on now by faichelle at this moment. He has done something with spy missions before, and is now trying to make the prophet have a schism mission. He plans to add two tags to religioninfos to for denomination and pagan.

Then when there is schism the denominations are the child of the parent religion. So the denominations can only be founded through schism. Now later we plan to add events that cause schisms as well. Now the new holy cities for the denominations we are still thinking over at the moment. But I don't want to say too much until we get something working.

Now the pagan religions I got an idea from somewhere else. But this is just ideas at this point. Basically there are no buildings or units needed. No holy cities. Each civ would have a tag added to say if they have a pagan religion at the start and which one. The thing unique for them would be your units receive a promotion that instantly sacrifices a unit. It could be used only when in a city, and you receive some bonus to that city for the unit. But everything about the pagan religion is still very tentative.

So I hope that explains something. Basically none of them will be founded by techs, and they will not have holy cities like the other ones. But when it is available I will post a new updated thread because it will be completely different then what is here.

The folk religions could serve as UR(Unique Religions) to different civs, like they start with them, like Nahuatlism(Mesoamerican religion) automatically is known by the Mayans and Aztecs for example, Amun-ra by the Egyptians.

 

[johny smith]

Yes that is the plan, but I can add only so many because of the Gamefont files. Right now I plan to add 16 spread out across the globe geographically.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Will you have religion songs(when the religion spreads) and movies for each of the major religions(not denominations), including the folk religions(which don't need movies since they start with them).

 

[johny smith]

Yes I plan to add sound to any of them that can spread, and movies of course for the major religions. I put in a whole Zoroastrianism set with an inquisitor in the WoC if you download the mod and see it.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I know that Warlords, and BTS came with sounds for Zoroastrianism, Hellenism, Amun-Ra, and I believe the Norse Religion, do you plan on using those?

 

[johny smith]

I am not sure if they came with the sounds or not. But I made one myself for the WoC for Zoro. I know how to do it. It is easy after you find one that sounds good. It is not hard to manipulate after. Have you tried the WoC yet? Try it please if you want to see what I did for Zoro.

I also made a generic pagan religion founded movie that can be put to use by just changing a picture on a dds texture for the movie. Hrochland made the 3d model in the Zoro religion founded movie in the WoC.

Again please download it and see it.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I know that theres a movie and sounds in Bmarz mod(great mod btw) for Zoro, you should check that mod out and borrow whatever you can from it, trust me its worth it...

 

[johny smith]

Here is the sound and some screenshots. Of course it is modular in the WoC.

And here is the sound for the religion founded.

Edit: Sorry for stuff in background. I am working on getting Final Frontier modular.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Final Frontier modular? Can its techs and units be added to the epic game, perhaps taged on after next war?

 

[NikNaks]

If I get round to it, yes!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

that would be amazing...you would have to set the big ships as naval and the fighters as air though.

 

[NikNaks]

Shouldn't be too hard really.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

A conversion of VD with its modern era expansion is also a must I think. Toghether with Next War and Final Frontier that WOULD be something.

 

[NikNaks]

That, however, would take a while. Avain! C'm'ere a minute!

[ripple01]

Where can that Zoroastrianism content be downloaded from?

Cheers,

[NikNaks]

The WoC SVN (or full d/l). If you follow the SVN branches then you'll find the folder with Zoro in.

 

[newtkeeper]

Hmm... neither of the downloads in the first post work. This looks interesting, but how can I get it?
