New Faction philosophies

[Leland]

IMHO all the (Earthly) religions fall into two categories: pragmatic and fanatic. Pragmatic religion is, from gameplay point of view, the same as no religion at all, and fanatic religion is what Miriam represented. The planet worshippers are distinct from these two groups because their object of worship actually happens to exist. So, I don't think that bringing too many existing religions into the mix adds much.

That being said, in my list there are 4 religiously motivated factions... Theocrats (=Believers), Planet Worshippers (=Cult), Evangelicals (bent on converting the rest of the planet) and Monks (isolationist, more contemplative folks).

sounds good, could be programmed into a new faction value: religion class

i am working on some artwork and i was thinking maybe this is a good symbol for a new faction...it is way to detailed and currently in black&white but it could be cool...(not true size)

It looks hitchhikery... as in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Maybe it's the font.

[DeathByTheSword]

It kinda reminds me of the sierra emblem, the blue globe.

I think it would be fun to have a hedonist faction, though I'm not entirely sure how you would represent that in a game.
