New Religions

[Cafegio]

If I wanted to add a new religion without taking one away. Could I ?
Will it screw up the game play ?
Will there be any penalties ?

You can indeed.
Not if it's done properly...
I'm not sure what you mean there....

This is not-so-much from experience as it is reading what a lot of other people have done....

Thanks
Ill try it and see what happens.

I just meant would it change the balance of the gameplay. Or would it make the religions less important.

I read somewhere that the CIV team found that 7 religions was the optimum number for regular gameplay, but I guess it depends on what you are using it for and how you plan to modify the existing religions.

The only part that's remotely difficult is editing the graphics files so that the icons for the new religion will actually show up properly. If you're adding religions, especially if you're adding more than one, you may also want to update the F7 layout and the city screen so that the religions fit.

Okay almost done adding a religion. My only problem is when I get to the religion page. One of the buttons is to far over. How do I fix the format of the page.

You'll need to make or download a new religions page. Search the forums because I have seen one before.

I just saw the shinto mod on here. Downloaded that and saw that they fit all the religions on one page. Thanks.

If someone could do me a favor and just skin the prophet unit. Just change the color of his clothes and take the light off his head I would be thankful.

This mod is coming out incredible.

Does anybody know how to get the little religion button next to the city name. I have all buttons added except for that. Does it have to do with the game font ? Because Ive been messing around with that all day. The city icon is the only thing I cant figure out. I got it next to the player name , when you discover it , and in the religion screen. What am I doing wrong.

Yes, it does have to do with gamefont. People have inconsistent results messing with it, but see this thread.
