Adamant Mod Religious Crossovers

Fyron · #1 July 29th, 2003, 09:51 PM

In Adamant Mod, I have separated the Deeply Religious trait into 7 different traits:

Death Ethos
Fate Ethos
Industry Ethos
Life Ethos
Nature Ethos
War Ethos
Wisdom Ethos

I am thinking it would be cool to add some facilities/comps that result from combinations of two or more of these. They should not just be combinations of shrines, but different types of abilities. Examples are thus:

A facility that prevents planet-destroying weapons from affecting the planet, resulting from having Nature and Fate Ethoi.

A component that adds some ECM bonus, resulting from Life and Fate. Perhaps Lifeward or Fate Seal or somesuch. It would replace the Fate Talisman that is currently in the mod.

Ideas?

Industry + Life = Growth Chamber - increases planetary and system organics production

War + Wisdom = Temple of Sun-Tzu - ship/fleet training

Life + Death = Circle of Life - resource reclamation (you know, like in "The Lion King"?

)

Fate + Wisdom = Guys Who Sing "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" (OK, so I couldn't think of a better name for it

) - Increases population happiness... maybe as a component, if that would work - it could be like a traveling troupe of musicians or something...

Death + Nature = Bio Terminator - improved plague bomb

(Gee, with all these options, there will be a whole variety of religious races... it might be "what religion does your race follow" rather than "are they religious"? Cool!)

They are currently set at 500 points a piece, so getting all of them is 3500 points.

I will likely eventually make some more expensive and some cheaper to balance stuff, of course.

How about changing Industry Ethos to Cult of Self, or Greed Ethos? I'm thinking Ferengi/modern western society rather than protestant reformation on this one

I'm also thinking that I'm in desperate need of some sleep
