Once you've stored up all that Piety, you can then peace out and form a much cooler gang that has fun orgies. You might prefer to save up and throw your lot in with another established religion that's already popular in your neck of the woods, working your way up the ladder there instead.Īt least at first. You'll be able to set yourself up as the head of your new faith, whether you want to call yourself the pope or something else, but starting a faith comes with a cost. What are the vices of your faith? What does it say about divorce? Who is allowed to be a priest? Does it have any qualms about cannibalism? While the list seems dense, some of the choices appear to be largely flavour, but it also gives you excuses to start holy wars and get new ways to influence those who have decided to join your hip new people-munching cult. Religions are made up of various rules and traditions that you select when you're conjuring it up. Your religion won't immediately be adopted by your dynasty, however, so you'll need to encourage people to join. You can also tend to the spiritual needs of your people, creating your own religion or offshoot. At other times it means combining the traits of parents to create better heirs. Building your dynasty sometimes means adding dynasty-wide bonuses.
