How to modify religions ?

[bilious]

Ok I've read the blurb about how to modify civs, leaders, units and buildings, and yes I've done all that with no problems, but how do I change the Religions in the game. Obviously the same way but can someone talk me through it please.

I've added a new Mods\MyMod\Assets\XML\GameInfo\CIV4ReligionInfos.x ml file with the new religions listed thus:

Type>RELIGION_SAMMIONISM
Dedication Through Military Service TXT_KEY_RELIGION_SAMMIONISM_PEDIA
Art/Interface/Buttons/Religions/Sammion.dds
Art/Interface/Buttons/TechTree/Sammion.dds

But no joy. The game does not even bink. What else do i need to change ?

I don't know offhand but you can probabally figure out by looking at the files that are modified by other religion mods.

Its ok. It looks like you can't create new religions at all but what you have to do is modify the text and pictures for the existing religions so as long as you use the RELIGION_CHRISTIANITY tag you can then add text to rename it in the ui. Still can't get the ReligionInfos.xml to work though....

a) The file you want is 'CIV4ReligionInfo.xml', not 'CIV4ReligionInfos.xml'

b) It helps to copy and paste a whole entry from an existing relgion (or unit or building) rather than just the changed bits.

c) Don't forget to change things like the tech that calls it, and the buildings that can be built by it (adding/editing as appropriate).

Several mods have successfully add new religions, I believe
