Pantheons - does anyone know how to mod in extra Pantheons

[Tals99999]

Hi,

Recently played giant earth with 40 civs, when it came time to choose a Pantheon, I could not choose one (there are only 22 available, and I think the other civs have chosen them all), would like to mod in another 30 or so Pantheons, but not sure where to start. I am using
YnAMP - Yet (not) Another Maps Pack for Civ6 alpha 3

Would it simply be a matter of adding new pantheons to the Beliefs xml file?

Base > Assets > Gameplay > Data > Beliefs

I know nothing about modding, but am curious about it.

Good idea, unfortunately tried - can't seem to get the combination correct.

Does anyone have a working beliefs file with 40+ pantheons?

Did you try duplicating each entry (it might require changing the name like adding "2" at the end) to basically allow every pantheon to be chosen twice? Not ideal but if it works it could solve your issue with minimal work required).

I have also been trying to do this but cannot get the new entries to show up in-game despite reproducing (I think) all of the necessary entries. I tried using Row and Update and cannot get the new beliefs to show up in game.

Yes, I tried the same with no luck, anyone else have ideas?

set the icon in Icons_Beliefs.xml

  <IconDefinitions>
    <Row Name="ICON_BELIEF_MY_NEW_BELIEF"                   Atlas="ICON_ATLAS_BELIEFS_PATHEON" Index="14"/>
  </IconDefinitions>

Hmmm,

I think I am very close, but not quite:
In Beliefs.xml:
<Row Type="BELIEF_GOD_OF_THE_SEA2" Kind="KIND_BELIEF"/>

<Row BeliefType="BELIEF_GOD_OF_THE_SEA2" Name="LOC_BELIEF_GOD_OF_THE_SEA_NAME" Description="LOC_BELIEF_GOD_OF_THE_SEA_DESCRIPTION" BeliefClassType="BELIEF_CLASS_PANTHEON"/>

In icon_beliefs:
<Row Name="ICON_BELIEF_GOD_OF_THE_SEA2" Atlas="ICON_ATLAS_BELIEFS_PATHEON" Index="22"/>

But still nothing shows.
If I change Name="LOC_BELIEF_GOD_OF_THE_SEA_NAME2", then pantheon page does not show at all

That might work, but I think there may be some code which currently restricts a pantheon to only one civ. One location of that code is in the Beliefs.xml file, specifically:

<BeliefClasses>
        <!-- This match up to a code defined enumeration. Do not change their order unless you also change BeliefClassTypes enum -->
        <Row BeliefClassType="BELIEF_CLASS_PANTHEON" Name="LOC_BELIEF_CLASS_PANTHEON_NAME" MaxInReligion="1" AdoptionOrder="1"/>

I think the MaxInReligion value would need to be changed to 2. But are there any similar values elsewhere which would need to be changed?

set the icon in Icons_Beliefs.xml

  <IconDefinitions>
    <Row Name="ICON_BELIEF_MY_NEW_BELIEF"                   Atlas="ICON_ATLAS_BELIEFS_PATHEON" Index="14"/>
  </IconDefinitions>

Good point.

I have copied and altered three XML files: Belief, Icon_belief and Religion_text. I would like to test out my new pantheon however I guess we are supposed to do this as a mod? Unfortunately, I am a complete newbie when it comes to making mods. How can I turn my revised XML files into a new pantheon mod?

Hi Atossa,

Did you have any success with your modded files?

 

[Mynex]

@Atossa - toss your files up here in the forum and someone can make you a modinfo (if I have the time I'll do so).

You can also download some other mods and take a look at their modinfo files and try using one of those as a template for yourself.

Hello everyone,

I had the same problem. I got stuck at "choose a pantheon" with no pantheons to choose. This thread inspired me to create a janky fix. Here's what I did:

Essentially I did a search for BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA. And whenever it appeared I duplicated it and added 2 at the end:


I went to the Beliefs Base > Assets > Gameplay > Data > Beliefs and located file called Beliefs.xml

I duplicated the first pantheon -BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA

On line 8 I added <Row Type="BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2" Kind="KIND_BELIEF"/>
On line 81 I added <Row BeliefType="BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2" Name="LOC_BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2_NAME" Description="LOC_BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2_DESCRIPTION" BeliefClassType="BELIEF_CLASS_PANTHEON"/>

On line 1820 I added
<Row BeliefType="BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2">
<ModifierId>DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2_FAITHTUNDRAADJACENCY</ModifierId>
</Row>
On line 1823 I added
<Row BeliefType="BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2">
<ModifierId>DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2_FAITHTUNDRAHILLSADJACENCY</ModifierId>
</Row>

I then went to Base > Assets > Text> en_us> and found religion_text.xml.
On line 71 I added
<Row Tag="LOC_BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2_NAME">
<Text>My new pantheon name</Text>
</Row>

And finally I went to Base > Assets > UI > Icons > Icons_Beliefs.xml
And on line 15 I added <Row Name="ICON_BELIEF_DANCE_OF_THE_AURORA2" Atlas="ICON_ATLAS_BELIEFS_PATHEON" Index="0"/>

Saved everything and the new Pantheon appeared. I have no idea what it does. But what's important is that I can choose the damn pantheon and continue with my game.
I hope this helps everyone else with the same problem.

I tried this and it worked perfectly, I thank you for saving my match. May destiny favour you for helping others
