v. 15

- Hammurabi prefers Chaldaeanism
- Ajivika & Mu'tazila moved to the full mod
- Mod loads by default in Complete Mode
- Denomination groups not related to the default religions no longer have a “base denomination” allowing more customization in the configuration file
- Some additional options added for Lite Mode Exceptions & Alternate Preferences
- Misc. text changes and religion re-ordering
- Various bug fixes (Thanks for the reports!)

Mod updates are usually incompatible with older saves. If you need a previous version to finish an older save, download links for v14 and v13b are included at the bottom of the Steam Workshop description.

HR v.14

So, the reason why a simple preference update took so long was because I decided to be a masochist and re-code the entire mod.

As a result, the config file now lets you enable / disable (almost) every religion individually instead of in groups. This was always my original intention for the mod, but wasn’t possible as a result of initially having to code the mod piecemeal as I added religions throughout Civ VI’s releases.

However, I’ve also removed the ability to disable the core religions found in the base game. I hate to take out options, but this would continually cause issues with other mods that checked for those religions.

I’ve expanded the ‘Lite Mode Exceptions’ section of the config file. You can now essentially use Lite Mode with only the preferred denominations added.

Druidism added to the Lite Mode

Ambiorix now prefers Druidism (with option for Forn Sidr)

Basil prefers Eastern Orthodoxy (with option for Catholicism)

Added the Japanese name translation by hirami_lemontea (Thanks again!)

Ajivika can be enabled in the Unfinished Religion/Icon section of the config file

Since I re-coded the entire mod, it’s very possible I made a simple typo or mistake somewhere. Please let me know if you encounter any issues. Currently the mod will initially load in Lite Mode (enable Complete Mode in the configuration file) as I see how everyone uses the new file system.

Because of all the changes, I strongly recommend starting a new game with the new version. As always, I’ve provided a download link for the previous version at the bottom of the Steam Workshop description.

I hope everyone enjoys the update!

v. 13b

Hotfix:
- Added checks to make sure you own the new leaders to prevent a crash.

Sorry about that, everyone!

v.13a

New preferences:
- Ethiopia now prefers Oriental Orthodoxy
- Alt Teddy now prefers Calvinism
- Alt Catherine now prefers Catholicism

Config file:
- Ibadi, Ahmadi, Druze can now be deactivated separately from HR_ISLAMIC_DENOMINATIONS
- Vajrayana can now be deactivated separately from HR_BUDDHIST_DENOMINATIONS

Reminder:
- Mod updates reset the configuration file to its default values.
- Updates to the mod are not always compatible with older saves. If you normally use the default values (or you reset the configuration file to load only the older saves' religions), the update will likely work with your existing save. If the update is not compatible, I’ve provided a download link for the previous version at the bottom of the Steam Workshop description.

Historical Religions v.13

- Added compatibility for the New Frontier Pass
-- Simon Bolivar prefers Catholicism
-- Lady Six Sky now prefers (Tlateomatiliztli (Tzol'kin))
-- Moved Oriental Orthodoxy to the base Christian denominations (in preparation for Ethiopia’s upcoming inclusion).
- Added a partial Chinese translation (religion names) thanks to Flactine and 柚子酱 (I used parts of both of your translations, thanks again for your hard work).
- Anglicanism now functions correctly with the HR_CUSTOM_NAMES option.
- Removed the cross from the Jehova’s Witnesses Icon.
- Updated the Latter Day Saints pedia entry.
- Miscellaneous text updates to various pedia entries and civ names.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes.
- Per request, added an option to disable Mi-Chos individually
- Per request, added an option to enable Anglicanism separately from the HR_PROTESTANT_EXTENDED and HR_CHRISTIAN_EXTENDED options.
- Per request, added an option to disable Spiritism separately from the HR_DISABLE_EUROPE option.
- Per request, added options to enable Forn Sidr and/or Anglicanism while Historical Religions Lite is being used.

REMINDER:
- Mod updates reset the configuration file to its defaults.
- The update is possibly still compatible with older saves (provided you used the default values in the configuration file). If the update is not compatible, I’ve provided a download link for the previous version at the bottom of the Steam Workshop description.

v.12c

- Added a translation of the religion names in Italian (thanks to Diaz Ex Machina)
- Fixed an error message (which didn't impact the game in anyway but annoyed me :p )

Note: This update does not change anything in the actual game files so it should be fully compatible with your old saves as long as you remember to reset the configuration file to your previous settings. Regardless, I've also included a link to the previous version at the bottom of the steam workshop page.

v.12b
-Reduced file size of the mod
-The pressure icons in Strategic View are now (tentatively) working
-Some adjustments to the custom icons
-Fixed some issues with mod compatibility
-Misc. code changes

Reminder
- Updates reset the configuration file. Please check your preferences before starting a new game.
- I believe the hotfix should be compatible with previous saves providing you reset the configuration file to your previously used settings. If not, I’ve provided a download link for the previous version (12a) at the bottom of the Steam description to continue your previous saves.

v.12a

- Hotfix to correct a crash when certain religions where disabled.
- Fixed it and the load order issue so re-added the "HR_CHRISTIAN_DENOMINATIONS", "HR_DISABLE_UNUSED_BASE_RELIGIONS", "HR_NO_CUSTOM_ICONS" options to the config file
- Misc. text and code changes.

Reminder
- Updates reset the configuration file. Please check your preferences before starting a new game.
- I believe the hotfix should be compatible with previous saves providing you reset the configuration file to your previously used settings. If not, I’ve provided a download link for the previous version (12) at the bottom of the Steam description to continue your previous saves.

* I’ve temporarily removed the option to reduce Catholicism-Orthodoxy-Protestantism into “Christianity” from the config file. This will be re-added later once the load order changes are worked out.
* The religion pressure icons in strategic view are still not yet implemented for the mod religions. I haven’t had any luck figuring out how this is done, but I continue to look into it. It may not be possible at the moment.

Note:
- Mod updates reset the configuration file. Please check your preferences before starting a new game.
- If playing in multiplayer all players need identical entries in the configuration file
- As the expansion just released, there could stull be compatibility issues I don’t know about. Please let me know if you encounter any problems with the mod or the new options in the config file
