Religions as Ideologies

[woodelf]

Six of the above religions are in game Geo. All require Future Tech at the moment, but they didn't break the game! I'll ask snipper!!! for icons for these as well.

snipper!!! -

These are the tentative six religions: (not changed much from Geo...)

Industrial Capitalism
Bureaucratic Communism
Corporate Mercantilism
Universal Socialism
Pure Science
Lunar Independency

Do you think you could come up with icons for them? Buttons too?

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Yeah ! I think it can be done with a great amount of imagination and a line of guidance. I will require your views and random pics if possible. Let me show you what I've done with that :


And now SMAC has High Intensity Lasers :

I think your stuff is incredible and you don't lack for imagination snipper.

That's a nice button.

 

[woodelf]

I have religions in the game, the Special column of civics is State Religion specific, and no crashes.

The only bad thing is that Firaxis screwed the pooch about disabling Religion movies. I'll need to modify some python files, but luckily others have done it before me. Dinnertime first.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

How does this work for Pure Science ?

 

[woodelf]

That will be a cool religious icon/button. Nice.

edit - 10,000 posts!

It is even better at size 64.

No edit : post # 600

edit : it's based on Quarks

edit : I've made it DDS

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Maybe someone can come in and throw in pics or ideas on symbolism of the ideologies listed above. I'm better when I can sort. Any help will be great. I'm interested in carved metals of any type. Now, I'll go to intensively rush SMAC pics !

 

[woodelf]

I'll surf tomorrow from work snipper. Thanks

No need, Woodelf. I've done some research already.

Well, for Lunar Independency this is my suggestion:



The flag is based upon Heinlein's book "The moon is a harsh mistress".

Industrial Capitalism catches my eye on this one:



Bureaucratic Communism... can't find a pic of what I like sofar, but I had thought of a detectives glass held by a hand with a huge eye looking through it.

Corporate Mercantilism: something in this general trend.



I would say a depiction of a modern-looking banker or CEO hiding behind a shield with perhaps or the Civ trade symbol or a dollar sign on the shield.

The next one wouldn't be bad for the Universal Socialism emblem.

 

[woodelf]

Thanks Geo. If they can be made into cool buttons and icons we'll be in good shape.

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

Thanks for the stimulation. I think next will be Universal Socialism. great Thanks to Geo . And remenber, every suggestion will help.

how are the ideologies coming. need any tips?

 

[woodelf]

I'm basically using the exact values that Geo listed on the previous page so any tips/advice or tweaking is welcome.

Right now I'm trying to figure out if I want have 5 or 6 civics columns because of tying these Ideologies to State Religion specific civics. It'll definitely focus the civs' agendas and make them more distinct.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

I think that you should use the ideology civics!! It will be fun and entertaining the results!

 

[snipperrabbit!!]

need any tips?

yes ! I think you deals with Ideology in Second Revolution. I've made one for Comminism but I'm not satisfied with the result.

 

[woodelf]

Right now I have six Ideologies and six civics only used by those specific Ideologies. It works well, but my civics screen is a jumble. I'm working on polishing this screen before v0.24 comes out.

 

[GarretSidzaka]

yes ! I think you deals with Ideology in Second Revolution. I've made one for Comminism but I'm not satisfied with the result.

I'm not sure, but second rev 2.0 might have implemented ideologies first.

What exactly is showing up? (ie, whats under your city bars in-game; whats the buttons look like)

What do you plan on giving the religions (i think that you can give it money-science-culture per city and per "holy city" or Headquarters.
