  • Confucianism??

    Does anyone know why Confucianism isn’t in the game? Of course it can certainly be debated as to whiter or not it’s a religion but it could function as one. Confucianism in China is undoubtly the most important “religious/philosophical” alignment thru out history.

    Why Taoism but not Confucianism? It's hard imagining China during the Song dynasty whithout Confucianism!

    This question has probably been asked before and if it has I apologise.

    EDIT: Sorry about all the bad spelling but I'm just from a simply " english second speaking country"

    EDIT(again): Oops just noticed that Confucianism is in the game! So don't mind little me. Damn I'm looking forward to play China now. I wonder how well Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism work togheter in civIV.

          Oops! I didn't mean to Please don't ban me oh you almighty forum administrator!


          Would it be too much to ask for some Shinto or/and Zoroastrianism? Of course I do understand that it's necessary to limit the number of religions in the game but…

            Of course not. By all means, mod them in once the game is released.

                Maybe if you're lucky, there will be additional religions in exapsnion packs.

                Ex.: Zoroastrianism, Shinto, Jainism, Tribalism, Mythology, Manichaeism, etc.

                  I'd actually love a non-PC mod that would give the religions some bonuses to add another layer to the whole thing. I think that bonuses can be balanced so that each religion would be worth it...

                      However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.

                          Isn't that what atheism is?

                            I thought atheism was basically nothing-ism.

                              Atheism is the lack thereof belief in a higher power, diety, god, or gods. Atheism does not necessarily mean no religious belief, to clear things up; it's just that atheism typically brings with it a further connotation.
