I have created an updated version of Cosmic Religion, here:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2494906618

fliorcid, if you have any objections, please let me know so I can take it down.

can you update this?

fliorcid, если нет желания поддерживать мод, дай разрешение сделать это другим. Многим нравится этот мод, но последнее обновление уже больше года назад. Без критики. Понимаю что со своей работой расставаться не хочется. Но люди ждут обновы.

fliorcid, I'm curious if you have plans to update this mod? If not, would you mind if I took it over?

Is this save game compatible?

How is the AI handling this? Are they actually spreading their religion on purpose to get an advantage?

Из-за того, что почти все боты распространяют свою религию идет большой минус к отношениям игрока к боту в новом патче, из-за чего практически ни с кем подружиться нельзя, я думаю это нужно как то исправить при обновлении, если оно будет.

can you update it please, I found that too late :(

can i use this for 2.5?

I mean, really, you can just select the religion you want for a particular real-world equivalent - Monotheism for Abrahamic religions, Polytheism or Imperial Cult for Hellenism, etc. etc... but I don't think you can just make a religion spawn only in one empire. Though, in smaller map sizes that probably won't be too much of a problem considering that religious empires only make up a small minority of starting empires, considering the multitude of other empires that might appear - materialists, hiveminds, robots, empires that just don't take the spiritualist ethic...

Any good way to make a religion only spawn with a certain empire, also could a real world religions version be made for megacampaigns?

Empty tool tips at the starting popup when are choosing your initial religious path.

Thanks! http://www.hebergeurfichier.com/download/f53857433aff3a69bafb714187655458.html

pipo.p, that is good. If you give a link to the localization file, I will add it to the mod.

@fliorcid: Hello! If your are still maintening this mod, I have a localization ready.

Also, empty tooltips are displayed when I have to choose my starting religion, as if there were one missing line per religion. At this moment, it would be useful to be remembered the modifiers for each religious system.

For anyone who's curious, it looks like most of the mod should still work in 2.5, but there are a few things that need to be adjusted to take lithoids into account. (For example, requiring food in ds_religion.13)

It might be more effort than it's worth, but it might be cool if gospel of the masses have their own "prosperity gospel" type religion.

Imagine a Mega-Corp could spread its religion on alien planets by special buildings...that could be lots of fun lol

Yes. Each pop has a religious modifier that looks like a blue triangle on their portrait. When you mouse over it, religion will be written.

Is there a way to find out what a pops religion is?

No.

Can you name your religion?

It would be cool for subversive cults to start underground cults on planets they have a branch office on that dosent follow the religion of the cult and eventually have the planet rise up and try to break away from an empire.

No, but I plan to make it in the future.

Do mega churches / subversive cults help influence a populations religion on a planet that has a branch office.

Alright, loving the mod so far, though I have run into a snag that I feel could use a look. When I grabbed the mod I immediately created the Imperium of Man with an immortal god emperor (as one does) and I had the Feudal Society civic to let me have vassals that grew. Y'know, sectors contributing to the greater Imperium. So plan was going great until... I actually had a vassal finally and they had the same religion. With their own emperor. -1000 opinion of me and disloyalty ensues.

tl;dr: vassals keep your religion but will create their own pope and declare your pope as false.

Makes it difficult to spread the imperial cult due to admin cap keeping me from getting away with simply painting the galaxy.

Hey I just want to say thank you for your mod its amazing. I added you because I wanted to ask if you had a 1.9 version of this mod for me and my friends to use in an up and coming game? Thanks anyway.

Yes. But not every pop will believe in a new god.

Will there be a change in my dominant religion if I pick imperial cult later on in my game or if my ruler becomes the chosen one and I choose to become a divine empire.

Ok, thanks.

This mod does't use gene clinics at all. Research labs used only in triggers and never destroyed.

I have a bug, I don't know if it's from this mod, but if you can check you'll make me a great favour.
When I upgrade the research lab and the gene clinic, after few days they disappear. I don't have ruins on the planet, only the free slot.

That event isn't from this mod.

I dont think that comes from this mod I think it comes from an event mod.

Hello. I'm not sure if this is your mod, but I stumbled on an event when a guru is found on a colonized planet, and you can either let her go or supress her movement. I chose to let her and even built a temple in her memory after her death. For several month I had a +150% planetary modifier for the Spiritualist faction. Problem is that I didn't had any spiritualistic pop before the event, and I didn't had any after the event, as if 0*1.5 = 0. All the Guru chain never created a single spiritualist pop althouhg I got two priest jobs created. I played this game with Ethics, Civics & Traditions mod and had an individualist, libertarian, industrialist species. Not very suitable for a religious mindset, I know.

Oh, I see.

Planetary modifiers appear only if more then half of the population on planet follows same religion. If everyone believe in different things then no modifiers for that planet. It wouldn't work for empire modifier.

Can you change the modifier for each religion into an empire modifier instead of planetary modifiers that appear on all colonies? That would be great.

Could we possibly get a list of features ie. description of religions and effects, buildings added such as the divine throne and so forth?

Heresy for god-emperor empires actually starts sooner than for other religions, but it doesn't give negative modifier. And heresy isn't chance based. First event happens if any planet have less than 60% true believers. If after 10 years less than 60% of pops in empire are true beleivers then fires heresy event.

A question about your mod and civics would thinks like imperial cult, and Exalted priesthood be able to have an ability to reduce heresy chance?

You need Imperial Cult civic.

How do you get god emperor?

When you encounter someone with open borders, their pop already have a chance to convert to your religion. Every religion by default has a 1000 weight that modified by factors. Spread policy increases weight for your religion 2 times and works even through closed borders.

So I was curious i just downloaded am trying it out and so far really enjoying it but what exactly are the chances on "Spread" of actually converting nearby neighbors?

Thank You!

Updated.

UPDATE PLEASE! Wolfe 2.3!!!

Mod doesn't change any original game files so it should be compatible with most other mods.
