Rule with Faith

Rule with Faith is a mod focusing on adding depth and saliency to the political and religious concepts in the game.

## Great People

Rule with Faith adds the Great Theologian as a non-Religion founding counterpart to the Great Prophet.

The Great Theologian is generated through Great Prophet points, but possesses standard abilities akin to other Great People.

In addition, Rule with Faith adds additional Great Prophets to account for the Industrial through to Information Eras. Both these features can be disabled.

## Governments

M = Military
E = Economic
D = Diplomatic
R = Religious
C = Cultural
W = Wildcard

## Changelog

#### Version 10

* Updated for the last two patches. Thanks to Jan for the new Great Theologian portrait.
* Nerfed Thomas Aquineas to have only 1 Charge.
* Added Polis and Horde as first-tier Governments, on par with Chiefdom.
* Tenskwatawa now yields Great General Points from kills, and fixed issue with his Faith from kills not working.
* Te Kooti replaced with Te Mihaia Hou.
* Added Civilization\_Titles for a backup where Leader\_Titles is not supported or not needed (when the default leader and the modded leader share the same titles). Due to roodness on Firaxis' part, this only covers Male leaders, so Female leaders will require the IsFeminine column to be set to true in Leader\_Titles.
* Added title support for Nubia, Indonesia, and Khmer.
* Added policy support for Sukritact's Policy Manager, thanks to Jan, Chrisy, SeelingCat, Enigma, and Lime.
* Incorporated Chrisy's fixes for the Great Theologian Points from the Holy Site project.
* Updated Monarchy for the latest vanilla effect.

#### Version 9

* Added additional Great Prophets to cover the Post-Renaissance game.
* Added Great Theologians - a partner to the Great Prophet that uses their point system but cannot found a Religion (technically, founding a religion and GP abilities are mutually exclusive, hence the unique GP). Great Theologians, like other non-Cultural/Prophet GP can be expended for a special effect. Military Orders policy changes to reflect this, and Contemplation added as an upgrade to the Revelations policy at Reformed Church.
* Added additional Policies: Imperial Columns (Cultural) and Stained Glass (Cultural, succeeds Imperial Columns).
* Added reference to CQUI. Remember, however, that references are currently broken, and so incompatibilies can only be fixed on Firaxis' end, as RwF and CQUI both overwrite the same UI files and the mod that loads last will have theirs used.
* Synagogue now yields +3 Faith, +3 Gold.
* God-King no longer obsoletes with Scriptures (as it obsoletes with Court Eunuchs).
* Fixed some additional missing titles.

#### Version 8

* Ported to SDK.
* Art updated thanks to Jan for crispiness and accuracy.
* Fixed TXT\_KEY issues with Gilgamesh and Classical Democracy, and Barbarossa and Merchant Republic.
* Added Cultural policy slot. Redistributed slots for Governments, and changed various Policies. Added 20 new policies (Census, Cultural Exchange, Court Eunuchs, Heroic Epics, Hydraulic Despotism, Isolationism, Jousting Tournaments, Law Steles, Labour Camps, Merchant Leagues, Military Orders, Natural Philosophy, Patriarchate, Penal Colonies, Public Festivals, Salons, Satrapies, Scouting Parties, Secret Societies, World's Fair, Vassalage). Thanks to Jan for help with new Policy ideas.
* Nerfed State Atheism to a 10% bonus in Production.
* Fixed issues with Policy icons in the civilopedia.
* Added support for Persia and Macedon.
* Nerfed Ritual War Great Prophet Points from kills to 5. Now Obsoletes with Mercenaries.
* Nerfed Shamanism to units heal 5 HP per turn.
* Natural Philosophy renamed to Archivists and Natural Philosophy re-added as a religious card.
* Fixed an issue wherein the Noble Republic and Constitutional Monarchy legacy bonuses were switched.
* Moved the bonus to Wonder Production back to Autocracy and the Unit Production to Absolute Monarchy.
* Absolute Monarchy now reduces the Gold cost of Patronizing Great People. Lib. Dem. now increases Appeal in cities with a Neighbourhood. People's Republic now increases Production toward all projects.

#### Version 7

* Updated for the latest patch.
* Fixed some title issues, and added support for Jadwiga.
* Lowered production bonus from State Atheism to 20% (from 30%).

#### Version 6

* Buffed Pacifism faith mod to 15%.
* Updated for latest Civ VI patch.
* Altered and added various titles thanks to Janboruta and Sukritact.
* Fixed an issue causing Shamanism to not work.
* Empire policy now also grants a free Builder whenever you found a city on another continent.
* Added 1 Religious slot for Feudal Monarchy and removed 1 Military slot.
* Switched Noble Republic's and Constitutional Monarchy's legacy bonuses around.
* Fixed incompatibility with Sukritact's Improved Tech Tree mod.

#### Version 5

* Fixed an issue with Female variants on titles not working.
* Fixed a typo in Shiekh.
* Fixed missing Chiefdom title for Peter.
* Fixed issues with Chinese titles.
* Fixed Tech Tree lua issues caused by not using Sukritact's Improved Tech Tree.
* Fixed incompatibility for users without the Montezuma DLC.

#### Version 4

* Added support for Sukritact's new Improved Tech Tree mod.

#### Version 3

* Holy War Cassus Belli now unlocks at Reformed Church.
* Changed the number of policy slots that each government has. Classical Era Govts now have 4 slots, Medieval Era Govts now have 6 slots, Renaissance have 7, and Modern have 8.
* Democracy is now called Classical Democracy by default.
* Added Government-, Leader-, Religion-specific, and (one) Policy-specific titles. This can only work with Leaders (functionality to change Civilization description isn't available, it seems), so I've renamed all "Empires" to "Civilizations." This can be disabled separately from the titles themselves.
* Added Empire policy at Exploration (+50% border expansion).
