Tomatekh's Historical Religions VII

Adds icons for historical, indigenous, and new religions as well as custom faiths.

~~~

Known Issues:

- Icon visibility on the city banner is distorted for some religions. I likely need the release of the official art tools to address this.
- Some of the names have random hyphens. If a name is 3 words or over, the interface pushes it to overlap the icon underneath on the religion select screen. Hyphens helped get around this.
- Leader preferences. This is out of my hands. The tables are in the game, they just don't seem to do anything. The mod programs preferences just in case the tables are ever activated. Leaders will currently choose randomly from the new religions.

Configuration File:

The mod folders include a configuration file - "HR_Config.sql" - which includes several options to adjust the number of added religions. (I'm looking into alternate ways to more conveniently adjust the configuration settings in the future).

The install location usually looks something like:

~\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\1295660\3507130398

This file can be edited with any writing program. However, it’s recommended to use Notepad (in which it was formatted) or other plain text program. It includes entries such as:

(4, /* Set Mod Mode...

Simply change the numerical value to your preferred option based on the KEY description in each section, careful not to edit or erase any punctuation marks (comma, bracket, etc.) when editing the numerical values, and then save the file.

(2, /* Set Mod Mode...

NOTE: If using this mod in multiplayer, all players must have identical value settings in the configuration file.

Mod Modes:

Using the configuration file, Historical Religions may be loaded in several different modes to adjust the number of added religions. By default, the mod will load in Complete Mode (4).

- Base Game (0): Only load the religions and custom icons found in the base game. Religions will still use the new icons and religion order.
- Lite (1): Includes the Base Game religions plus an appropriate historical choice for every leader and Exploration Era civ. Includes one new custom icon.
- Standard (2): Includes the Base Game and Lite Mode religions, major denominations for world religions, and a selection of additional religions based on historical notability, geographic diversity, and past Civilization games. Includes some new custom icons.
- Streamlined (3): Includes all religions and custom icons, but denominations and sub-religions are disabled.
- Complete (4): (Default) Includes all religions and custom icons.

Mode Options:

- Base Denominations Added as Custom Icons: (Default) E.g., if "Mahayana" and "Theravada" are active, the icon for "Buddhism" can still be selected as a custom icon.
- Religions from Other Modes Added as Custom Icons: E.g., if Lite Mode is selected, the mod will load the Lite Mode religions as named religions and the remaining religions normally found in Complete Mode as custom icons.
- Limit Selection to Exploration Era Religions: Removes extinct ancient religions and modern religions from the game, but keeps most indigenous religions.

Enable / Disable Individual Religions:

- Customize Religion Lists: Religions may be individually enabled / disabled within their respective mode's set, including disabling denominations.
- Load Named Religions as Custom Icons: All Named Religions may be individually loaded as a Custom Icon instead of a Named Religion.

Religion Options:

- Change Default Religion Names: Change the default name of specific religions to various names representing alternate, colloquial and/or more ethnically specific names and spellings as well as historically related religions and sub-religions.

Special Thanks:

I’d like to thank JanBoruta, Sukritact, and Leugi all of whom contributed icons for the Civ V and Civ VI versions of this mod, some of which are still used in the current version.
