so something i would like to see is more religious options. i love the idea of religion specific wonders and especially the christian split into ortho, cath, and pro. so possibly doing something similar with islam would be cool, like a shia/sunni split but considering, for historical purposes the only shia islam civ would be iran which might further hurt a civ thats not a major player, since their relations would take a hit. anyway. i also like an option to reject religions. for instance say if i capture a city with a different religion than my state one, i'd like an option to remove it. like how when babylon conquered jerusalem they sent the jews into exile. which then creates jewish refugees and nearby civs/cities would have the option allowing them to enter which would increase population and possibly spread judaism and maybe also increase unhappiness something like "we yearn to return to our homeland" and when that city than changes control an option is given to allow the refugees to return. like when persia conquered jerusalem. possibly even turning that population into slaves. or an option to persecute the "heathens" like how rome and nazi germany did. also say if a civ refuses refugees, cities following that religion may defy and accept them anyway and maybe if that civ is unstable that city might flip. yeah maybe having this option makes a inquisitor redundant, but those usually come so late anyway, plus an inquistor comes with all the benefits of not having a lowered pop and worse diplo relations and such. idk i've always just felt i was playing a religiously tolerant civ, especially early game, because of the passive spread of religion. its like nah man i've building the great library for 10 turns now, you jews aint gonna come in here and prevent me from that, like if i had the option i'd sell them into slavery, force them out, or kill them, i would take it. because thats what did happen, people were really bad to other people of differing religions. so i think something like this would further play into the whole religion specific wonders since it gives more control, like adding limitations should be balanced by adding options
anyway this is my first post ever here, and i've been playing this mod for well over a decade. so its probably about time i'd say hello to the community and individuals that has given so much to me and never asked for a thing, so thank you. and for that i'd also like to offer my assistance, i do have a little experience with programming, so learning python wont be much of a thing. i have looked at some guides on here, however some seem to be terribly dated. so if anyone more familiar with the forums could point me in the right direction, that would be most appreciated. also super excited about a new map, and i have complete faith it will be even better. i cant wait to try it out and i'll be sure to report any findings, but please dont feel that this is an invitation to rush or feel rushed, because i will patiently wait for as long as it takes, and if i learn a thing or two, perhaps help out
