Starting Religions, History Rewritten

[Xyth]

I'm definitely no modder, and this idea may have been mentioned already and shot down, but why not have Great Prophets specific to the empires in the game. What I mean is if you play as the Chinese Empire, and your first great prophet is born, it would be Confucius. He would only have the ability to found Confucianism, and as China you would only be able to found religions specific to China until you ran out. A downside to this would be if you played as say, Portugal, which founded no religions at all. Maybe factoring in the religion of most of the population could work, but that would be a lot of labor. Also, with a country like America, or any with free religion this could cause a lot of debate and anger.
I dunno, just the thoughts that go through my head...

I think there was a modcomp in the past that did something along these lines, for all great people. If I remember correctly it required the SDK though, meaning it's impossible on Mac. I can take another look but as you describe, putting together appropriate lists for as many civs as HR has would probably cause more problems than it would solve.
