Awesome!

 

[Valkrionn]

Shouldn't eventually atheism be another option?
Like Polytheism -> Monotheism -> Atheism

Not really. Atheism would mean you just don't follow the religion.

 

[Pouakai]

Could adopting Piety provide +1 Piety in each city? And then Free religion provide +.5 happiness and +1 culture per a religion in a city?

 

[malonkey1]

Yes, it is an option. it's called "Not having a religion."

 

[deukhoofd]

The will you be able to force others to "Not have a religion"

 

[Sepulchre]

Forgive me if this has been asked before but how will other nations view your religious choices? For instance will there be a heavy diplomatic hit if they are of a different religion?
Will it work on a scale for example if you have different religions as the result of a schism will they be slightly reduced, or will it go the way of Northern Ireland and all out grrr?
As nations become more enlightened will religion become more of a back marker, a part of the cultural picture of your civ, not necessarily a focal point?
Also will it be possible to be both fundamentalist and scientifically developed?, yes Iran I'm looking at you here.
Again I apologise if you have dealt with these points previously.

 

[Pouakai]

Hopefully not as much of a diplo hit as in civ IV

 

[Sepulchre]

Hopefully not as much of a diplo hit as in civ IV

I would to see an development of the diplo hit. Historically nations of different faiths will get along for the benefits of trade but you do get some huge flare ups such as the crusades (although arguably they are more about riches than belief anywho). I would be nice to see the diplo hit drop as nations became more "civilised" also I love the idea tat some nations would find certain faiths to be just abhorrent, i.e like the Conquistadors coming into contact with the Aztecs.

This mod has amazing potential.

um... release... please?

 

[Shylock76]

Anxiously checking this thread every few days...days, weeks or months to release??

 

[malonkey1]

They probably aren't gonna be able to finish it until the DLL gets released. Sorry, Shy.

 

[deukhoofd]

Is there any information on the release date of the DLL?

 

[malonkey1]

Not that I could find, other than "sometime in 2010"

 

[Valkrionn]

I think the "2010" comment was in regards to the SDK, not the DLL; The two are not the same thing.

I would not expect the DLL to be out anytime before February, though I'm hoping it's sooner than that.

 

[A Golden Dragon]

where did you hear february, i've seen no indication of a release what-so-ever

though, before january is kinda hard now, happy new year

 

[Valkrionn]

I didn't. Pure guess based on number of months.

 

[malonkey1]

Sorry, meant to type "2011"

 

[Venereus]

My 2 cents!

How about founding a religion by getting a special type of Natural Wonder inside your borders. Say you explore and find a "Spiritual Place", settle a city near it, and once it's inside your border, the religion is found.

 

[Ryan F. Mercer]

Sacred lands?

Will there ever be situations where one civ covets a natural wonder that means little to the civ that already owns it? A spiritual place that means nothing spiritual to its current inhabitants? Maybe putting a production improvement on it starts a war with those who think it sacred, or maybe they could demand the improvement be removed?

I like the idea of a natural wonder you can put a city on, then have this happen. Especially if that city received huge defensive bonuses and lots of cash. So then only the heathens could ever build on it, but doing so would pick a big perpetual fight. Maybe with the barbarian civ?

 

[Pouakai]

Could the natural wonder / sacred place have a unique tile improvement, built by a Great Prophet, that provides Piety to a city? (The improvement could be built anywhere, but gives a boost when built on a sacred place)
