A few things:
@ MooPoo: best name I could come up for it. I guess Classical Panthonism sounds better, but there were 12 major gods in the pantheon, and dodeca- is the prefix for 12....
As to the Religion List (mostly cosmetic):
- I think changing 'Orthodoxy' to 'Eastern Orthodoxy' may be better, though I'm not Christian or European, so that's up to you.
-Indigenous Spirituality could be 'Animism', which is the collective name I got in World History for the different African tribal religions, and 'American Animism' or IS could be kept for Native American religion (the two were different).
- Pantheon Worship sounds kinda...lame in a way. Classical Pantheonism sounds cooler (IMO), or at least more religion-y in a way (you always need an -ism!).
- Split Islam into Sunni/Shi'a. Each has had a unique impact on the world; Sunnis are represented by the Ottomans, the Umayyaid Dynasty of Spain/N. Africa, and the Shi'a by the Safavid Empire.
- Scientology? Come on...Replace it with Norse Pantheonism or something...whatever the Vikings did (y'no, Thor, Odin, Loki, all that good stuff).
-Split Buddhism into Zen (affects Japanese politics, and thus current economic trends in a way- though minimally), Mahayana (what spread to China, SE Asia), and Theravada (what stayed in India), though that's to your discretion.
-Paganism? What's this supposed to represent?
-Out of curiosity, what's Cao Dai?
Aside from this, its all good! Love the map, keep up the good work, and can't wait for its release!
