Religion/Heresy Modding after Holy Fury

[Johan11]

This is, in short a brief query that I really want to ask, because I cannot really get things to work the way I'm trying to change them:

Can you, when adding/modding heresies under parent religions, add the HF features for reformation into these?

As in, could you make a Christian heresy with the religious tax feature, or a Muslim one that had the equality feature?

I cannot see any of them used currently, and so I assume their features are coded otherwise, but would it be possible?

Yes, indeed you can. In fact if you check the religion file you'll see it's actually very easy.
For jizya tax you just add

uses_jizya_tax = yes

For equality I believe you need

feminist = yes
allows_matrilineal_marriage = yes
female_temple_holders = yes

However you'll also need to find a way to allow characters of that religion to implement absolute cognatic, because this wouldn't be enough I believe.

 

[Johan11]

Alright, yes, I can see that would work some of the way.

But yeah, I was looking at if it was possible to add those "feature_somethingorother" to them, because that would preclude the need for the absolute cognatic issue.

And would also, honestly, be easier to work with should I want to try and make something matriarchal or whatever, because that one in particular looks almost impossible to implement without the feature.

Well I see your point, a lot of it depends on the issue that dynamic religion modding was based on pagan religions, though with some clever workarounds you should be able to create a matriarchal religion. Perhaps subsequent patches will allow for more conditions that'll help with that.
