[MOD?] Better Pagans - collecting ideas for modders

[CzokletMuss]

There are a lot of people here who can share some interesting facts about some of the pagans, so I say we gather all the best of them here in this thread so that modders will have some good source of inspiration when doing the inevitable post-TOG mods.

Remember, always give link to the source!

This is a good, productive idea. Thanks for taking the initiative! I'm headed to bed now, but I'll peruse a few of the threads tomorrow.

 

[CzokletMuss]

Thanks! I will post my ideas soon but I'm waiting for other to not become "nationalist" again for concentrating on Slavs

Thread moved to the correct forum.

Thread moved to the correct forum.

it's amazing how moving an original-idea thread to the modding sub-forum almost always drops the number of viewers and repliers by 90% :laugh: (it's technically the appropriate decision anyway, but still an interesting though understandable correlation )

This perhaps also has to do with the fact that a lot of the people participating in the main-forum don't have the game registered and therefor don't have access to this forum.

well, that much is true

still, I think another factor is how most people who visit the modding sub-forum are either regulars (whether modders themselves or returning mod users) or what I call "experimenters" (ie. those actively looking for a new experience via mods). Most casual players, disregarding registration, aren't really interested in modding the more-than-adequate base game (I mean, I've played EU3 for hunderds of hours but never visited the modding forum myself) or simply aren't interested beyond discussing the game itself (for example, I very rarely enter the AAR sub-forums, the few occasions I do mainl to look at specific threads that I encountered outside :laugh.


In any case, while I won't really argue for getting this thread back to the general forums (since the decision does have some merit), I do kinda feel obliged to note and point out that the OP seems to be hoping for non-modding inclined forumites in the general forums to share their general ideas, that "modders will have some good source of inspiration when doing the inevitable post-TOG mods." Having this thread in the modding sub-forum kinda defeats the point in the first place (ie. getting the community at large to share ideas without necessarily going into modding-specific details, something that could be done in a parallel thread ).

Here is just an idea. Rename Suomeusko, because it is Finnish and means "Finland's faith" it is same thing as calling Norse religion "Sverigestro" (Sweden's Faith) . Instead call it Kaleva or Finnic religion.

I would also recommend giving Sami people their own Shamanistic religion, because it was one of main differences between Finns and Sami. Finns were animist pagans and Sami were shamanistic nomads.

Yeah, I don't think it would be easy to collect the ideas now since not everyon has registered game. For the Slavs it ain't a problem since I have a lot of ideas and some other forumites like Dragovit are registered but I don't think so there are a lot of people who know something interesting about Romuva or West African pagans here on this subforum.

But I guess this cannot be unmade. Well, pity.

Kalevala - good point.
Sami people - can you be more precise? And please post some sources, it will make it all easier and maaybe we will learn something

Sami culture it is already in the game, but it's scrip name is Lappish and here is the source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sami_shamanism

There's actually a sort of Tengri revival going on in the Kazakh areas in Asia.

Here's a header for anyone who wants to use it. Just put me in the credits or something if you want to use it.

I find it even more weird due to the fact i have never played any Paradox games without the mods. they are so good
