I'm not a big fan of how religon is carried out on CF. It seems to me that there is no organization at all. Individuals roam around and pray at hidden shrines, and once in a great while, one of them is good enough to get a tattoo. There are no rules for religion, nothing to suggest conduct except for some (often) hastily written helpfiles. As far as learning to act how your god wants you to (if he / she doesn't have a good helpfile), you're supposed to depend on immteraction to do that.. Or use your best judgement.

Even worse off, the game doesn't do a good job of describing religion. Everyone is told to pick a sphere, but you can pick a sphere and forget it, and the majority of people do. A sphere is not a religion.. In-fact, the best definition I can get for religion right now (on CF) is: A sphere that has a god with a tattoo.. So all those spheres that cannot yield a tattoo aren't religions? They just seem like templates for combat to me. Sphere fire (I use fire to kill) etc.

There are no religious wars. No gods go in strict opposition to other gods. No one roleplays religious fanaticism. There are no churches. There are temples, but all of them seem to be vast generalizations of religion. There are shrines, but they are often one-room, never any mobs (that I've seen), never anything to read and immerse yourself in.



I suggest that we have some more religon in this game. I would like to see an invisible aura surrounding people who submit themselves to a religion. A spell or supplication would allow you to see what aura people have.

I suggest that we have some religions, (not) one for every god, certain religions can encompass several gods. These religions would need a code of conduct, and a place of worship, and a mortal hierarchy. They could mesh with cabals fine. It would just be another agenda for players to have.

For these religons, I propose we also have a tally system. If you kill someone of the other religon, you are rewarded. If you give a tithe to the church, you are rewarded.
