Has anyone built the Parthenon?

Not me, and you're right the option to build it is never appeared, must be a ROM bug.
 
It's definately buildable, I think you need to have founded the religion as well as be in that religion too.

My OCC games make big use of all the unique religious wonders, and the amazing confucian shrine (+1 movement to everything!). The judaic, christian and muslim wonders aren't too great though.

I think its somewhat unfair and offensive to make the religions so different, not talking about the wonders, thats an amazing idea actually!

Im talking about some religions giving more culture then others and some also giving science or money. Thats abit patronizing in my eyes... but maybe its just me...
 
Ogaburan, i can maybe see where you are coming from...

if it comes down to be super politically correct or encouraging awesome programers to keep increasing gameplay... which side do you really fall on?

All im saying is.. who is to say which religion has more culture then other? Also in game values, religions should be just names like in the vanilla game.

Its not about being super-politically correct. Its about not insulting people. I mean, i for one don't walk down the street yelling N****R. Making a game in which a religion is shown to be better in anyway then another... i don't know how u can justify that.

Difference is ok, but Making fro example conf. > Nagualism...
All im saying... if the world will end in 2012... who will laugh then?! :lol:

This is just a small example, i think its wrong saying that people who belive in Confucius doctrine are smarter (and richer!) then people who worshiped the most accurate calendar ever made! If anything... they should have +1 science in every city... :crazyeye:

Difference in religions should be in the civics, Organised relegion, theocracy, free religion maybe some new ones. If u look throughout history many leaders of the same faith treated the same religion extremely different. Some took the militaristic side some the spiritual side, some were just after the money and fame.

So... with all due respect to this awesome mod full of awesomeness, i think this aspect of it is just wrong.
 
World will not end in 2012, it's just that humans will be extinct then. Or perhaps not. The world will go on regardless. Funny how people have such bloated views of the importance of our species. We make no difference whatsoever and never will.

I don't get were people get "The world is ending in 2012!" thing from. The Maya Calendar labels it as "Rebirth", meaning it might be possible that the world will be saved in 2012... we really don't know.

As far as the religions go: I do like how they are different from one another. This is historically accurate for many reasons, the main one being different religions had different values. I do not, however, like how some are superior then others. For example, Confucianism and Islam should both provide a :science: bonus, as they held technology to a high standard. Confucianism, however, should actually have a :gold: penalty, because the persuit of wealth was frowned upon. Hinduism could get a :hammers: bonus, but a lower :culture: then other religions, etc.

Peoples have always throughout history been expecting this "end of the world" phenomena, just research into this matter and you'll find a lot of failed "prophecies" and whatnot throughout the world. For example like most cross worshiping European countries in 999 AD...that was a spectacular disappointment for them! People don't see that all this apocalyptic prediction are just mass control mind games. The truth is I believe, the world will end when humanity least expects it, meanwhile each and every one of us have our very own little promised "end of the world" coming to us...it's called death.
 
I can build the Parthenon with Hellenism state religion.
It is bugged though, it is supposed to give +1 beaker per city with hellenism and +1 culture per city with hellenism, but it actually only gives +1 beaker, and +1 culture per city with hellenism. So it just becomes a culture generator, not a research generator.
 
well...no, the world will most likely pretty much end the way we expect it, being swallowed up by the sun when it goes red giant on us. then again, there will be no us left by then...at least not on the earth.
 
While I built it in my last game, in this one it isn't an option, despite these facts (2.92):

I have Aesthetics & Polytheism
I have Hellenism in all my cities (and the one I want to build it in is the Holy City)
I've checked the WonderBoard and it isn't listed, so nobody else has bought it
Game is in the Classical Era (about 300 BC).

So what gives? I built the Pantheon, thinking that it was a prerequisite, but nope. Is there another tech I need, like Athletics or something?
 
It's only a game and has no relevance on actual real life Religion what so ever. Take a step back and have a think about why it's annoying you? It isn't going to make any difference to your life if Confucianism gives more gold then Nagualism.
 
I like that they are different because I can use different religions for different strategies or to overcome problems. If I need money for example I can spread and convert to a religion that provides extra gold. Having to weigh the choice of what religion to have adds to the gameplay.

I never really assumed they were meant to be accurate(same with civics) if such a thing was even possible. I mean at one point a religion or a segment of it might be really into money or science or culture, but then at another point or looking at a different sect you might find something very different. The Amish are Christians as is Francis Collins. Richard Dawkins is an atheist, but so was Stalin. Some fundamentalists really like science or are pacifists. Doesn't mean the game can't give you a science boost for being atheist or a military boost for being fundamentalist.

It doesn't really work to try and be accurate with such things, what's important is balance. Variations between civics and religion make the game more dynamic and fun and that seems more important.
 
Hahah... yeah, all religions are equal culturally.

Hahah... pardon me, I have to go wipe a tear.

Let's keep political correct BS out of RoM if we can, please? PC already screws up enough in our lives without pretending that everyone wins and all men are equal in a game as well as real life. We already quit keeping score at kids sports, refuse to call Muslim Terrorists what they are, and grope innocent people pretending to fight an enemy we refuse to call by name.

I'd like to play a game where I can butcher Saladin and enjoy it.
 
If some of you (that have been around RoM for sometime) will remember, all this about Religions in the Mod was discussed and debated over at great lengths. The Religions are what they are for game play. If you take "offense" it's in your eyes only.

As for anymore support and or "bug" fixes that probably isn't gonna happen.

Zappara has stated that he will, "Try to finish RoM 3.0 but real life changes have taken hold in his life."

So you have what you have. If you can Mod then mod RoM to suit your taste. If not, then play or don't the choice is yours. It Is a Great Mod.
