Religion Icon List

[Krajzen]

I really dislike zodiac signs as religious signs.

 

[George Abitbol]

Rome is usually one of my top civs. In Civ V, I usually picked Tengriism for my religion and renamed it "Romanism". The symbol was close enough to an eagle for me. That was before the religion mod was added

When I play England I pick the buddhist symbol, wich is close to the Ship of the line icon and I rename my religion Navigationism. Then I feel spreading my religion with my mighty fleet.

Do we know, by the way, whether AI leaders have religious preference, like in Civ 5?

If so, what I would really like to see is for it to be more developed - it was really immersion breaking for me that, if I had both Boadicea and Isabella on the map, one of them would found Buddhism (because Buddhism was the first religion, alphabetically, the AI would choose if it could not found its preferred religion).

Instead, it would be cool if religions were divided according to cultural groups, and the AI chose from the pool if it could not get its first pick (so Christian religious for European culture group; Islam, Zoroastrianism and Judaism for Middle Easter; Taoism, Confusianism and Shintoism for East Asian and Buddhism and Hinduism for Indian/SE Asian).

They will never appear in the game unless one of the human players goes for it.

Those additional icons don't even have names, and I think they are just there for some variety for people who like their own religions.

I'm only surprised Tengiirism isn't represented this time around.

Also, I highly doubt that modding religion icons is as easy as plopping down an icon, because the colors that they are are color-coded with the Religious Lense. But then it might just be a simple XML edit for that.

In the leader civilopedia there is a part that lists Preferred Religion. For Barbarosa, it was Catholicism.

I, too, would like a better way of dealing when a leader's preferred religion is already taken. Perhaps 2 or 3 choices for each leader would suffice. Adding in historical religions would help in that.

Here you go, screenshots from the ill-fated Germany LP with all the various relgious icons.

As for my opinion, it seems fine for the most part, but a couple of the Christian crosses seem wrong. I may be wrong here, but the Eastern Orthodoxy cross looks more like what I'd expect for a Catholic cross, and the Catholic cross looks more like a Celtic cross.

I just noticed something... do the icons disappear from the bottom once you select them? It looks like they chose an icon that appears to be a circle with wings, but I do not see it on the bottom in either of the pictures... unless I am just overlooking it!

Ha-ha, that's funny. I've done almost the same thing several times.

I would like a lot more symbols, a Thor hammer, a Greece Zeus lightingbolt or, some West African religious symbols, an Maya and Aztec religious one and so one.

At least every civ in the game should have their real religion represented, Aztecs shouldn't be Catholics!

 

[Mort_Q]

I'm missing the symbol for the FSM.

Indeed. Also needs a Beer Stein, Cannabis Leaf, Invisible Pink Unicorn, and the Discordian Sacred Chao.

 

[isau]

I am wondering, if it will be possible to "mod" those symbols simply by throwing new pictures in the related folder?

Possibly. In Civ IV it was controlled by a .DDS file I think. But there's a bit more to it than changing the one icon. It's re-used in a few places (e.g. on the city banner). So you will probably have to make multiple edits to make it take.

Matching the same style with glowing thin lines and stars will take some work though

That's the icon for the religion system overall, not an icon to use for a religion. You can see it in the UI when they click to found a religion.

They might have done that to solve the problem in Civ 5 when Religions were first introduced. When someone founded a religion, the symbol would be grayed out. But when you hovered over the symbol, it would say "[civilization] has founded [religion]." But there was a glitch were this would allow you the figure out civs in the game that you hadn't met yet. Eventually this was fixed in a patch.

Anyway, I hope you're right and Tengriism is only missing from the screenshot because somebody already chose it.

I've wanted this for some time, especially as there are often more than one religion that would make sense for a civ. For example, China might prefer Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism in that order.

But we don't currently have any civs in the game that would logically select Tengriism. I'd expect the Scythians to select Zoroastrianism as the closest religion to theirs, or Orthodoxy as the religion of their descendants.

is the peacock yazidism?

Doubt it. The "actual" religions are ordered alphabetically, ending with Zoroastrianism. All others afterwards are some other symbols to allow human players some customization, and it's in this group where you can find the peacock.
If the peacock was the icon of an Yazindism, then it would be before Zoroastrianism.

 

[CheeseWalrus]

unfortunate. one of the most interesting religions imo.
