If modern day religions implemented in Calradia

[Gandamula]

Choping heads and religion in the same game isn't a good idea.

I think it would be way better to have equivalents of the classical cults and a couple of Manichaean and Zoroastrian inspired types alongside something loosely based on the Abrahamic religions.

Just adding in real life religions would feel weird and not really make sense.

That's what I'm exactly saying.

Imagine how many armors the Azerai player could get from his wife's...

Ok... again, nice talking to you have a nice day.........

Someone got triggered. Come one, we do not need to love or hate religion but you should admit that religion can spice things up and we all want spice.

 

[Julio-Claudian]

It is good to want to draw parallelisms, however, with the implementation of "religions", what kind of tangible mechanics would become of it? Can anyone elaborate about this?

I just think it would add another layer of reality to the world. It could tie in to all sorts of existing features. I mean it's one of the most integral and influential forces in human history there are so many mechanics that could come of it.
Tbh it feels pointless typing out ideas for detailed mechanics when we all know it won't be added to the game.

That's what I'm exactly saying.

I couldn't tell lol

That aspect could be left out haha

No thanks.... I see enough in real life

, I'd prefer not to have them in my game.

It's already in the game just obtusely touched on with phrases uttered by the NPC's, but yeah, I see your point.

It would be cool to have fictional religions closely related to the inspirations of each faction, it would add flavour, immersion and if implemented well more depth in the game like religious rebellions, settlements converting to a different faith causing unrest, religious orders, civil wars caused by many vassals of different religion than the ruler etc, lots of possibilities

If we implement religion then we finally have a reason for wars! Just like real life!

Finally someone with a logic!

Yes because Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot were so amicable in their vision of humanity lol....

You know we never need religion for wars, right? And most of them religion was just an excuse

All reason for a war is that: "****, man you spill my drink! gather your armies" or "you looked at my wives butt, gather your armies!"

Religion isn't needed for war

I really don't want to see religion on the base game, I'm not an atheist.

Very valid. I would surmise that a lot of people don't want religion in the medium they use for escapism. Probably the reason why TW left it on the fringes in this title.

You do not need to be. But why do you not want to see it?
Religion is part of human nature. It just makes sence to be implemented.

 

[Julio-Claudian]

I've always assumed that's the reason it's not present in the game... people get sensitive about it.

I feel like this thread is going to end up getting locked.


I'd be happy with just the pantheon of classical mythology even if only to build temples and have priests and priestesses.

I mean no offense but I find that so silly.

But they want sieges, mass wars killings, executions, taxes...

Yep. I would bet that is definitely a reason. With religion, things can get...

How so? It ties into what you just said.

But they want sieges, mass wars killings, executions, taxes...

Yes. Very different from religion my friend. Religion has harmed some people... Catholic church and the priest situation anyone?
Some people are rather sensitive.

I just meant applying feelings about stuff like that irl to your experience of a game. But I don't wanna have that sort of discussion on here lol
