But, to me it seems like a needless convention. Christianity already survived over 2000 years, why not a few thousands more? And as already mentioned the ingame religions are more like "descendants" than the actual religions themselves - meaning they could have undergone a lot of changes. perfectly fine with the sci-fi part of the game. Given the first reason, I can't see a logical path through to even considering contemplating the rest. (Anyone remember the "Wing Commander" movie? Yeah. Lastly - It's pure sci-fi, so the perceived need there to put these in is sort of a head-scratcher, to be honest. This isn't a "real life" kind of game that simulates a world like "Civilization" does, using real-life references and known events/monuments and the like. Corrections welcomed, as always.)įor another? Yeah, not really a good choice as there's just too much room for errors, complaints, some Charlie Hebdoe inflammatory stuffs, etc. Note: My ignorance in what Ideology actually contains might be showing, but I'm just pitching concepts that I think might be likely. Not only is that just plain "better," it allows for much more creative freedom and roleplay for the player. (I would have gone with the 'isms, instead. Again - Someone slept through class, maybe. They could have made other changes, like combining the three appropriate ones as belonging to "Abrahamic" religions, which is what they actually are. Well, I'd have to guess that someone slept through class a lot.

If these don't use those as a foundational approach to creating an ideology based upon religion.

These are much better choices, especially given the setting.

I wouldn't have gone with current religion as a basis.įor one, it's just not appropriate as those belong in already existing anthropologically oriented categories - Monotheistic, polytheistic, animism, ancestor worship, etc. So for example theres anima that is focused around spirites and thus the autogen background uses your memes to generate a spirits focused ideology.
