Changing the Religion System

**Apani** · January 18, 2014, 11:35 AM

The new pages about the sages and how they are worshipped by some races made me think we should remove those generic temples of nobodies and make more dedicated ones, as in RTW with pagan worships: In each city, you can only build one temple, which is dedicated to one deity of your pantheon (Din or Maphaeus for the Gorons, Demise for the Moblins), with each deity giving its own bonus, or even troops. We could even make it so that temples to the Goddesses increase Strict Goddess Worship, whereas the ones to Sages increase Goddess Acknowledgement. So, temples to the Goddesses may give your population bigger bonuses but religious unrest; I've seen doing this thing in some mods.

Hasn't Neph already said he can't because there's a hard limit to buildings? That's why we have generic "barracks" instead of "Goron Training Dens" or something.

Considering how small the building tree is compared to other mod, this surprises me.

I´m not completly sure, but I remenber from my lurking times a post where someone put Call of warhammer as an example of having many buildings and asked Neph if he could do the same. I think that he answered either saying that he didn´t know how and nobody was answering him or that he couldn´t make it work. Anyway, what Cameron said is probably rigth.

It is quite a pity, since is a great idea. I wish we could come up with a way to bypass that problem but I doubt that there is much to be done about it.

Apina you don't need to make a thread about everything.

It's better than clogging up the Announcements thread with other discussion.

Ok true, I was just worried that the forum would be overstuffed with threads. There have been a ton of new threads posted lately.

You see it as a bad thing? I'm far more concerned about misusing one thread (Announcements) for everything.

Don't call me "Apina"; it means "Little Bee" in Italian. Anyways, making a new thread seemed better than posting it on Announcements, which we shouldn't use to discuss everything.

I saw some unused buildings in export_descr_building.txt file (many, but i think they are in like 6 building trees). Couldn´t they be used to maybe apply a small portion of this idea?

That's because a new version was just released and we're all re-energized.

**Aleatorio** · January 18, 2014, 07:21 PM

New threads show that a forum is alive and kicking, never a bad thing as long as threads are properly used and have a meaning on his own, and I think most of the new ones do, this one included.

I got a religion building branch for four giants working last version. If he hasn't added any new buildings there should still be space.

**Cameron Shutters** · January 18, 2014, 08:59 PM

But will we need those building slots in the future? Neph mentioned Kafei Priests and such once Majora is implemented, and there's the Oocca, so who knows what new buildings may be introduced to deal with those mechanics if any.
