Religious Figures
« on: December 16, 2009, 06:44:02 pm »

My idea this time is the following.Add some important religious figures to the religions during the world gen, like people that organizes cruzades, or people that come to the planet as son of god and realize miracles, like curing blind people and regenerating lost limbs(and sometimes dies as martyrs).

Gods are already generated, though they don't have much (any?) direct impact during gameplay. Megabeasts and semimegabeasts can be worshiped by some civilizations, though. Once the magic arc happens, presumably some creatures will be able to perform miracles, whether through trickery, honestly believing themselves to be divine, or actually being divine.

Without spoiling this too much for you, you can expect something approximating this in the next version. Can't say if or how it would affect legends mode, but...

The word is "crusade." "Cruzades" is not a word, its an abomination.

yeah i noticed that too shonus.

Also, to refine this idea how about another ethic...
Something about worshipping the same god or same gods.
Would obviously depend on the race if they were warlike or if the sphere of their major god was warlike or "evil"
