Sulla I don't understand why do you say that. I mean, I made Tao's & jews very scientifically advanced. I made christian cities happier... that's my view on the world's religions. And like I also said, Islam is the most expensive tech in the religions (divine right), so it HAD to have some advantages! If I haven't told you that I'm a Moslem you probably wouldn't have said all that
About your suggestions: I did exactly what you said about ancient religions (difficult to spread), modern religions are differentiated just as you said too! Read posts previous to yours to see my understanding about theoretical vs practical religions (as example to christian tolerence)
About purging non-state religions from your cities, there's a mod for that. But I'm almost sure the AI can't use it (since it causes unhappiness too, so it can't "weigh" it without python).. so i'm waiting for a "fair" mod
I answered twice why free religion had to have a disadvantage, please go read the previous posts!
About american culture: you can tell when you see weird-looking houses that ur in China, people wearing turbans that you're in india, people wearing large white dresses that you're in the Persian gulf area.. etc. But what will you say when you see people wearing jeans? It's everywhere! Same goes with food: hamburgers? It's just everywhere! etc etc
Mayan I was trying to go with the theoretic teachings of the religions rather than the actual practises
Jolly You're really stressing on my nerves jolly! 5/7 religions can spread to each city till the game ends! I even gave christian missionaries 3 movements where Islamic missionaries had only 2! What's your problem???
Even Islam has a lesser chance of spreading since it comes in late in the game!
"Changing the tech tree"? What the
<snip> are you talking about? There's not a tech xml file in my mod in the first place!!
I'm not ignoring your post as you can see, but 99% of what you're criticizing (and I say 99% to be polite) is not in my mod in the first place! Gosh!
screw read all of my first post and you'll understand what is meant by their "obseletion"
Fex Are you saying christians, who made the crusades (ancient & current) are not less tolerent than buddhists, who're supposed to love everyone??
And don't speak of Moslems holding grudges till you read the jewish history! They tried to poison prophet Mohammad 1400 years ago, and they're stealing Palestinian lands today! Although
when Europe treated them as a plague in the middle ages, they sought refuge in the Islamic countries and lived in them until the first 1/2 of the 20th centurie peacefully where nobody picked on them
For the jews I gave 2 positives (research & trade routes) and 2 negatives (small number and small military power), what are you complaining about?? I cripple them on 3 resources but I double their benefits from the other 3 resources! Totally balanced!! Gee you're looking at the mod with one eye only!! They can use extra gold from their trade routes and selling their techs to hurry production of military units thus counter their small numbers!
Impaler It always makes sense to have a prophet, who builds a shrine, to establishe a religion, not the other way around
AlCosta Islam is the last religion in the GAME! Judiasm and Hinduism are NOT spreading anymore, and have not been spreading for centuries! These are my views, as well as statistical facts ok? While till today,
50,000 americans convert to Islam annually. People in east Asia conver to Christianity till today too. So it IS realistic
Nour Egyptian? Give me a PM to MP sometime
No el yahood can be the strongest player! They can sell their techs to generate gold + their trade routes and hurry production of military units! zyy ma bye7sul begad
And if you enjoy non-realistic religions, or to create your own world as you say, then you shouldn't be using any religious mods. Not mine nor abbamouse's... just use the vanilla game, which sucks in my opinion because I go with the total opposite (I don't like to "create my game")
Seven Read my reply to nour + your idea prevents civs who never found a religion to ever found one when they research a religious tech. Though I admit it's kinda weird to see hindu americans and Moslem chinese. But it's not less weird than seeing Isabella building the pyramids!
