[GS2023]Better Pantheons

New beliefs added for improve the gameplay diversity and support specialty traits.
Ressurected beliefs from early mods and more improvements.

"Let more USEFUL pantheon beliefs boost gameplay, less pain, more fun!"
This is an enhance mod for pantheon beliefs in standard game set under the Gathering storm.
This mod aims to make the pantheon beliefs compensate of the random uncertainties in the starting game and improve the playing experience. So we can suffer less restarts of ‘From the early life beneath the waters…’, LOL.

There will be more new beliefs and alternations in further updates.

Thanks for constructive idea and suggestions from:
