Religion!
Overview: Religion plays a dominant aspect in this game, every player is either apart of a religion, or agnostic.

Players can gain or lose religious influence from 0-100 and whole numbers inbetween. Gaining religious influence from a religion you do not follow will instead subtract religious influence from the religion you follow until it reaches 0. A player gains benefits from a religion if they have 10 or more influence to it. Players are informed of which religion the majority of the players are following. If players have less than 10 influence to a religion, they do not spread that religion.

Example: Player Bob has 20 influence for religion A and is receiving benefits. Player Bill gives Player Bob 25 influence to religion B. Player Bob now has 5 influence for religion B, does not receive benefits, and is classified as Agnostic.


Rival Religion Tenets:
Holy War: Whenever someone of an opposing religion dies, and a follower of your religion played a great part in it, every member of your religion gains +5 influence.
Franatic Followers: You spread 1.5x (Rounded up) more influence.
Old Followers: The Mafia lose half as much influence.

Home Religion Tenets:
Safe Among The Lamb: If a non-citizen Town member would die at night, the Citizen with the most influence to this religion dies instead.
Communal Discussion: Every member of this religion gains .5 (rounded down) religion influence per night, per follower.

Revolutionary Religion Tenets:
Vengence From God: Every player that does not follow this religion loses 1 influence per night per follower after Night 3
Words From God: When spreading influence to a target, you also spread half that influence (rounded down) to everyone who targeted your target, as well as who your targeted visited that night.
Connection From God: 2x more religion influence is spread to players following the Home Religion
Command From God: This religion may not spread until Night 3

Mechanics:

This sounds very interesting, and I think it'd do great on a bigger game.

Do Prophets always convert their target, regardless of previous influence?
What happens if bot hProphets target the same player?
Are players notified of their religion and influence each night? If so, wouldn't that make all Civs effectively faction cops?
What's the OoO?
What would be considered "playing a big part in it" for the Holy War mechanic?
Does the influence bonus given by Words from God apply to people who target the ame thayer that night, or any night before?

[MattZed]

When does the game end?

No.
What happens if bot hProphets target the same player?
Then the player that was targeted by both prophets receive +50 influence to Rival, then +50 influence to Revolutionary
Are players notified of their religion and influence each night? If so, wouldn't that make all Civs effectively faction cops?
Logical Faculaty detected, will fix accordingly.
What's the OoO?
Will be done closer to the starting date.
What would be considered "playing a big part in it" for the Holy War mechanic?
Leading a lynch train, killing them, accusing them in day chat.
Does the influence bonus given by Words from God apply to people who target the ame thayer that night, or any night before?
The same player that night

When does the game end?
When a Win condition is achieved.

Responses in Bold White.

I plan on overhauling the win conditions soon.

[deathworlds]

Win Conditions have been overhauled

Changed the name of the Majority religion, to the Home religion

[MattZed]

Major Concern: Wincons can change to the point that towns become survivors.

This is intentional

[Sen]

The "Survive until the end" condition for the Town is unachievable, tho; it only happens when Rival is majority, and in that scenario, the game will only end if the Rivals have eliminated everybody else, thus there's no way for anyone but a Rival to reach the end inthat scenario.

No it's not?

Town members can win with any religion.

Town members can win with Rival being the majority religion, as long as they do not follow it.

[deathworlds]

Completed and ready for review.

[MattZed]

Town wincon with their own religion is redundant as the Rival Prophet will always follow the Rival religion.

It's hard to say that the neutral is really neutral since the mafia always need him dead to win. Intentional?

How is the majority religion determined?

Will fix momentarily

Yes it is intentional, I made the neutral a neutral because it inherintly has different win conditions than town

How is the majority religion determined?

If more than half of all living players follow a single religion, that religion will be the majority religion.

^^

[MattZed]

If an inquisitor is converted to another religion, what stops them from trying to kill their teammates in an effort to get the "survive to the end" part of a majority-religion wincon?

Not being an asshat.
