Q&A with Dennis Shirk

[Arkangelus]

Oh very interesting that they've expanded religion too! Wasnt expecting that to get touched at all.

 

[labrynianrebel]

They split up Christianity!!!!

Shame we didn't get a Sunni Shia split as well, but I'm happy with I can get!

 

[Nujabes]

Finishing the piety tree lets you get a powerful reformation belief.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

new Beliefs and religions. Reformation Beliefs exclusive to Piety tree. So cool.

 

[Pouakai]

He just mentioned Reformation beliefs as being accessed from the Piety tree and that they've split Christianity into the ones from ItR

 

[ferretbacon]

Oh wow!

Piety tree ends with opening up a new "Reformation" belief. Really cool.

Hotels and Airports for added tourism.

 

[GoodSarmatian]

OK, the religion overhaul is pretty interesting.
There will be three versions of Christianity: Protestantism, Cathilicism and Orthodoxy.
Finisher bonus for Piety is now a new belief from a new "Reformation" pool.

 

[Dragonflow]

Christianity is split, I wonder if those are the only new religions.

 

[Arkangelus]

Espionage additions too no less. I'm surprised and impressed that they're really progressing all the sections of the game, not just bolting on features with each expansion.

 

[damnyankees]

What differentiates a reformation belief from a normal one? Is it basically just like everyone getting the Byzantine UA?

 

[blackcatatonic]

Diplomats. So I guess that's where 'horse-trading' comes in to it.

 

[shaglio]

Diplomats sound very cool.

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

I missed the diplomats and espionage bit.

That's what mods are for!

Although, its probably because there really aren't any civs that would use it.

Honestly, this wasn't such a big deal as its something that modders are able to do on the same level as the official inclusions.

The new Reformation Bonus is cool, though.

 

[moysturfurmer]

did he just refer to city flipping what

 

[GoodSarmatian]

WTH !?!!?
Did he just say city-flipping is in ?

 

[Nujabes]

Pretty sure he just confirmed city flipping, and I think he said no tech trading?

 

[Pouakai]

He just said "this is why we removed tech trading"

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

flip to your side? does that mean change ideology or actually change empires?

 

[blackcatatonic]

Wow, if city-flipping is back in that's huge.

I guess we can all rest assured about no tech trading though.
