How to change religion number?

[yogiebere]

I've been running small frontier 8 civs low tide for the performance benefits.

But only 4 religions are allowed.

If you want to use a mod to permanently reduce the number of religions, you can use the "Change VP Options" mod template from the Mods Repository, and then add some code (it's easy to do it manually but then you'll need to re-type it after every new beta version).

Add this code to the SQL file to modify the number of religions:
UPDATE Worlds SET MaxActiveReligions = '2' WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_TINY';
UPDATE Worlds SET MaxActiveReligions = '3' WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_SMALL';
UPDATE Worlds SET MaxActiveReligions = '4' WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_STANDARD';
UPDATE Worlds SET MaxActiveReligions = '5' WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_LARGE';
UPDATE Worlds SET MaxActiveReligions = '6' WHERE Type = 'WORLDSIZE_HUGE';

You should also change the requirement for reformation.

Good point thanks

Hmm I was hoping it would change my current game but it didn't.

If I save a seed will it still load the same game (despite the small code tweaks)? I really liked that game but it was frustrating with 10% city penalties and 4 religions.

Also how do I get my seed number? After about 30 minutes of trying I haven't had success. Most online answers are about civ6 now.

Isn't it possible to do something about it with IGE? Maybe you would need to "unfound" for a different civ and set their religion points to 0.
