Tomatekh's Historical Religions

This mod adds additional historical (pre-modern and indigenous) religions to the base game. Leaders previously lacking a religious preference (Aztec, Greece, etc.) are updated to prefer an appropriate historical religion. Several additional generic icons are also included and the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox symbols have been updated.

The mod is fully updated to work with Gathering Storm, Rise and Fall, New Frontier and/or any other combination of DLC

Note:
- It is recommended to disable this mod before using any scenarios which might implement their own religions.
- If using the mod in multiplayer, all players need to have identical settings in the configuration table.

Included Religions:
For a list of the included religions and leader preferences please see the mod's civfanatics page.

Configuration File:
The mod includes configuration options in the "HR_Religions_Config.sql" file which may be used to switch between the Lite and Complete versions of the mod, enable / disable individual religions, randomize leader preferences, change the custom icons, and more.

On a PC the default Steam mod folder is:
~\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\289070\870850597\

However, these folders my vary based on your individual install settings.

Inside that folder is the config file “HR_Religions_Config.sql” which you can open with notebook or similar program. The file has instructions when you open, but you largely just change 0s to 1s or vice versa down the left of the file to enable/disable different loading options and then save the file.

- Lite Mode and Complete Mode:

Historical Religions may be loaded in either a Lite or Complete Mode which can be switched between by using the configuration file

By default, the mod loads in Complete Mode which prompts the mod to load the full list of new religions which can be further customized with the configuration file.

Alternatively, you can use the configuration file to enable Lite Mode which prompts the mod to load with only a minimum of new religions to represent the leaders included within the base game and its DLC.

The configuration file also includes options for

- Unused Religions
- Change Default Names
- Unpreferred Religions as Custom Icons
- Random Preferences
- Alternate Religious Preferences

Adding Mod Support:
For instructions explaining to mod makers how to add support for your custom civilization, please see the mod's civfanatics page.
