Pagan Religion??

**Berserker** · November 16, 2006, 12:51 AM

Hey guys, I was greatly looking forward to this game when i found of Paganism was one of the religions. Unfrontunately from what i can see all the civs are one of the 2 kinds of christian or islam and the only paganism is in small random towns (and the aztechs). Is there anyway to change (or a mod out now or coming out) a race from christian to pagan? instead of christian priests have pagan whatevers going around converting people, instead of churches being able to build shrines to woden, donnar etc like in RTW? Couldnt be to hard even if its just one building (replacing the church) which can be upgraded and such and just use the models from RTW for the pagan shrines?

Also it is totally beleivable that either the scots or the danes could return to their pagan beliefs, specially a large majority would have been pagan still during the time MTW2 starts...

Thanks in advance.

To answer your question: no, not possible. You cannot even have heretic priest. You are dependent on catholic priests, only they support your power. Everything else would not do. One of the reasons kings converted their people into christianity was that it supported their power by the theory of divine will which grants every throne.
In the game you belomg to the christian community. How are supposed to handle the AI a pagan european faction which was christian before? The pope would still send requests etc...
Maybe new factions created by modders make it possible.
Although I hardly see the necessity for this.

Couldnt you just change a new faction to pagan, but then just use all the scottish or danish models etc put in, then you would be playing the danes or whatever but with a pagan religion.

If we can ultimately unpack certain pak's I guess it can be modded. I guess the descr_buildings or its equivalent is responsible. Nevertheless do not wait to see different skins anywhere for those pagan temples

Would be very nice to see Germanic heathenism, as well as other non-Abrahamic faiths (e.g. Mongol belief system, Zoroastrianism) modded into the game.

As there already is a pagan religion in the game so i dont see how it could be TO hard for some modders to add it in, i just find it really annoying that all the religions except paganism can be used, that really bugs me and removes alot of playability for myself

and probably a few other people to.

Plus how can more options be a bad thing to add to the world?
