Protestantism in RFC

[Halk]

This probably takes a bit of the wind out of the idea... But I think the idea of implementing the Reformation creates a few problems... so it might be done a little simpler.

An event, which causes Civs to choose between Reformed Christianity, or not. The ones that choose yes to the Reformation get a +3 with the other Reformers, and a -2 with the non-reformers. Have the civs which went Protestant more likely to choose Reformed than not. Percentages would be, I would guess Netherlands 85%, Germany 75%, Vikings, England 65%, France 35%, Spain 35%, Rome 15%, etc.

An alternative would be a mod where Religious splits were catered for in depth. From relatively benign ones, for example Karaite and Rabbinic Judaism, to the Protestant reformation...

You cannot remove taoism nor confusianism because of the UHV of China. How are you gonna build the cathedrals of a religion that doen't excist?

That's easily changed though.

 

[kairob]

So which religions were you thinking of including?

 

[Panopticon]

Not really, some of the Civilopedia entries are slightly amended and more importantly the map is corrected. I'll work on the art tomorrow, then it will go on "general release".

 

[kairob]

Oh ok sounds good to me

Congratulations on this BTW.

 

[Panopticon]

Righto, here it is. It would be called v1.0 if I were keeping a count. However I'm not, so it's not. There are very few programming updates from my last release, if any. Most of the changes relate to unit and building art, as well as flavor text of buildings and religions.

I'll update the first post of this thread as well.

[kairob]

any changes to r&f python file?

Will install it now cap'n.

 

[Panopticon]

No, none. 10ch

 

[kairob]

Awsome, its installed!!!

I will play a quick game and tell you what I think. I recon I might play as Portugal as a bit of Alt-History

 

[Úmarth]

You should add this to the wiki:

[SadoMacho]

Is this finnished?

 

[Panopticon]

Yes, unless I choose to add anything more (or someone volunteers). For now it is finished.

 

[SadoMacho]

Astonishing!

But:
-Jeruzalem now is just an other city, and that's not to historical.
-The Arab UHV got a lot harder (needing 3 shrines)

But there might just be an easy way to solve this:
-We give Jeruzalem a wonder:
600AD : You could use the Temple of Solomon grafics, remane it to Temple Mount as the Temple of Solomon isn't around anymore. As this is a holy place for Christianity and Islam too, this wonder could give a free priest, and some culture (like +2 ) and maybe a lttle gold (1+ ), a +1 for a prophet, and a +1 citizen to turn to priest.
This will make Jeruzalem more important, and will give the Arabs a better chance at the UHV.

3000BC: Same wonder could be used, but some python will be needed.
It should spawn automaticly in Jeruzalem, at the date Judaism now spawn there unless some one first discouvers the tech that founds Judaism (=priesthood, monotheism?). Then it could spawn in a city of that civ.

What do yoy think?

 

[Panopticon]

I was thinking of keeping the Temple of Solomon around in another form, but it fell by the wayside while designing. I might do that next week. I think it can be done - there is Python code to give buildings to cities, and it can have equal cultural weight to that of the usual Jewish holy city. It should probably just be built in Yerushalayim regardless of who discovers Monotheism first.

Problem is, it wouldn't help the Arabs with their UHV unless you included it in the code. I've been reluctant to mess with victories, but I can see why it's necessary. Arabian UHV is hard enough without this on top (it took me until about 1800 to win it).

 

[SadoMacho]

helping the Arabs to get prophets will help there UHV, specially in the 600AD start. I often get al-Iksandria real fast and end up with a bunch of great scientists. Having a city that is a great prophet farm could help building the shrine for Islam.
Ofcourse getting the 2 other shrines is a bit harder, but with some great prophets joining your cities as superspecialist, you can build more unit and you'll have more money.

One could allways go for 8 religions and bring back Judaism (and while we are at is, add Zoroastrianism too, Ahura Mazda would really like that)

 

[Panopticon]

In general, I send the starting Camels to Patna, taking everything in their path. It's too difficult to both invade North Africa and secure it against barbarians until you have a big army. Any city with a food surplus that you've conquered can serve as a GP farm (thanks to the Arabian unique power).

 

[mitsho]

It would be best - if it can be done by anyone around here - to bring back judaism. It is kinda essential for the game (can't you have zoro and judaism?). 9 religions wouldn't really be too much for this game...

I love this mod any chance of making a version for the new patch?

 

[Panopticon]

Yeah - we have FINALLY reached Reading Week in college so I will have lots of time tonight and tomorrow. I want to play the new version first to get the gist of it though!

Ah, the good old reading days, good for reading and playing video games.
