Faith & Fealty

🌟 Faith & Fealty ⚠️ 1.

🌟 Faith & Fealty

⚠️ 1.0 Release was tested rigorously but may still have bugs, I've done my absolute best to make sure none are game-breaking. Please make Reports on GitHub to help improve the mod! ⚠️ If you edit the local XMLs in my Mods directory either back them up OR make your own little mod to replace my XMLs as updates are VERY LIKELY to overwrite your custom XML changes! Tired of the vanilla system forcing your colony's spiritual faith and political structure into a single, rigid bucket? Want a high-tech corporate syndicate that secretly practices ancient pagan rituals? Or a brutal military dictatorship bound by a strict, pacifist code of monk-like laws? Faith & Fealty completely shatters the vanilla Ideology system, rewriting it into a customizable framework that splits your society into two independent, parallel systems running simultaneously: Religion (your spiritual and supernatural beliefs) and Ideology (your social, political, and economic values). Every single pawn now navigates both worlds at once.

🌟 Key Features

  • Dual Belief System: Every pawn tracks both a Religion and an Ideology independently, featuring their own separate roles, certainty trackers, and dedicated UIs.
  • Intuitive 4-Step Wizard: Replaces the vanilla creation screen with a sleek, guided process: Religion Memes -> Religion Customize -> Ideology Memes -> Ideology Customize. You get full control over names, symbols, narratives, and precepts for both sides.
  • Dual Leadership & Unified Abilities: Religion leaders and ideology leaders share a unified ability and cooldown system. However, their roles target their respective systemsβ€”conversion and reassurance abilities dynamically affect either Religious certainty or Ideology certainty depending on who is using them.
  • Unique Mechanic: Cognitive Dissonance, having conflicting precepts will result in some penalty for your pawns, causing a negative mood and reducing certainty. Completely optional and can be toggled. Mods > Advanced > Mod Options.
  • NPC Factions: World religions are distributed and fully player defined. Included is a basic setup featuring 3 major religions across the Vanilla factions. Though simple XML edits will allow you to fully customize your experience!
