Hello Based Religious Conflict Enjoyers!

Welcome to the second Council of Direction. That's right, as I said, a separate one for every idea, to keep things nice and organised.

The point behind the Councils of Direction:

• Gauging community opinion of an idea
  
• Harvesting feedback as to the specifics of said idea

These threads will be locked following implementation of the idea in question, and any further feedback should then be directed at Development Update posts when these are eventually made.

Adding Religious Integration mechanics
Not all Deists are made alike. The same goes for polytheists, or any religious group really. To put it simply, I would like to make it necessary to integrate a species' doctrine with your own before they gain the happiness benefits of sharing your religious ethic.

This process could be made easier, or even nullified, by certain bonuses or choices.

Basically, this will make a list of species that your faith is "Harmonized" with. They understand your theology, and feel like their Animism is your Animism. This could also potentially be done through diplomatic decisions or via federations.

Religious Victory
This one is a community idea from a previous thread, that relates closely to the above.
This would be a modifier to the end-game Victory Score affected by how many pops you have integrated into your belief system. Should the Religious Integration idea from above be implemented, it would of course play into this.

I am in particular looking for opinions regarding this concept in general. Ideas for implementation are welcome, but this is a big change that will make the mod generally more complicated. As such, I am mainly concerned with the general opinion of the idea as a concept.
