Boom’s Pantheon Rebalance
Pantheons are an important part of civ. They can dictate game plans, give civs huge boosts in power and tempo, and make civs with early faith much stronger. Unfortunately, many pantheons are effectively unusable, or are very weak compared to others. Religious Settlements and adjacency pantheons are very good, while many others are lackluster.
In this mod, I have buffed some of the weaker pantheons to attempt to give them more game defining/tempo potential as well.
- Reverted Earth Goddess to +2 faith
- Ladies of the Reeds and Marshes now applies to all floodplains, but has been reduced to +1 prod
- Goddess of Festivals now gives +1 prod on flat plantations in addition to +1 culture
- Religious Idols now gives +3 faith from +2 and grants +3 gold as well
- Fire Goddess now gives +4 faith from +2
- River Goddess now grants only 1 amenity but Holy Sites next to rivers gain standard adjacency
- God of Healing replaced with God of Labor, which gives a free Builder when picked and grants +30% production to builders
- Initiation Rites replaced with God of Boundaries, which grants 15% border expansion and 4 free tiles when settling a city
- Fertility Rites no longer grants a builder, but grants +1 Food on farmable resources
- City Patron Goddess increased to 50% from 25%
- Stone Circles now gives +1 Production and Faith on quarries from +2 Faith
- God of War no longer requires nearby Holy Site and faith on kill increased to 100% of strength from 50%
Should be compatible with other mods that do not change pantheons.
