As requested, I'm mirroring this mod from Steam, for those who can't use steam Workshop:
What does this mod do?
It randomly assigns to any available civilizations (including those from mods) a favorite religion from the list of all the available religions (including those from mods).
This happens before the game starts as soon as you see the setup screen.
Does that mean that the AI will pick a religion randomly?
Yes and no. The AI will choose the favorite religion that was assigned to it, but since they are assigned randomly before the game starts, they will be different each time. There will be no effect whatsoever, however, should their assigned favorite religion be already taken.
In other words?
By default in the vanilla game whenever an AI's favorite religion is already taken, it tries to take the first available religion from the list of religions. That list has a fixed order, when umodded it starts with Buddhism, then Christianity, then Confucianism and so on. This is why you might have seen in your games European civilizations frequently choosing Buddhism and Confucianism but almost never Sikhism.
So even with this mod an "AI" who was assigned a religion "x" that was already taken by another AI...
Will choose Buddhism without fail, unles it's already taken or some other mod changed the list.
Can something be done about that?
Well, you can reduce the chances of that happening. The more religions there are the better, and if the number of religions is higher than the number of civilizations, then the only one who can steal an AI's favorite religion is YOU. This mod makes sure that the same religion isn't assigned twice to two different civilizations when possible.
Where can I find more religions?
Check my "Strange Religions" mod as well as Tomatekh's "Historical Religions", with those combined you'll have more than a hundred. There are several others available on the Workshop.
Are there compatibility issues or known bugs?
None that I know of. This mod isn't made in LUA code, so there isn't actual programming involved. All that it does is updating the database through SQL before the game starts.
It might be possible that some other mods that change the favorite religions of civilizations will interfere. In case you notice that happening you can notify me about that and I can make it so that this mod loads after it, then the problem will be solved.
Enjoy
