Basic info about church

Similarities with real world religions

In the game, usage of real world religion is forbidden, to avoid certain problems. Major religions are still based on real religions, but they use their own terminology (i.e. you cannot use word God, when reffering to Christian god, but you must use its in-game name Theos.)

These are in-game religions:

  • Theological church (based on Catholic church)
  • Patriarchal church (based on Orthodox church)
  • Pagan church (based on various pagan beliefs)
  • Norse church (based on nordic pagan beliefs)
  • Mystic church (based on Islam)

How to see basic information about church

1. Open Region Information

Reg info.png

2. Click on Info of religion you are interested in

Religion info.png

3. Now you can see list of all followers, or if you click on Hierarchy button, you can see hierarchy of that religion (More info on hierarchy below).

Religion hierarchy.png


Hierarchy

All religions are organized the same way. They are divided into four levels.

Level 1

This is the Religious Leader. He is elected on position by Elections. He can embrace new dogmas, appoint Level 2 priests, excommunicate a person and write sacred texts.

Level 2

Senior position in church. He can appoint Level 3 priests.

Level 3

First promotion in rank. He can appoint Level 4 priests.

Level 4

This is the priest that has most duties. He can baptize new people and heal and cure followers.


However, each religion has specific name for their priests:

Religion Theological Patriarchal Pagan Mystic Norse
Level 1 Summus Pontifex Triune Patriarch Primicerius Primodor Thul
Level 2 Cardinal Mitropolith High Priest Mufti Gothi
Level 3 Bishop Presbyter Prior Grand Imam Seid
Level 4 Cleric Diakonos Basilieus Imam Vifill

And same goes for their buildings:

Religion Theological Patriarchal Pagan Mystic Norse
Level 1 Holy See Patriarchal Basilica Pantheon Mystic Sacred Temple of the Four Pillars Godord
Level 2 Cardinal Palace Basilica Major Temple Mufti Palace Hof
Level 3 Bishop Palace Lavra Temple Grand Imam's Palace Horgr
Level 4 Parish Chapel Holy Shrine Mystical Temple


Faith Level and Faith Points

Faith Level

Faith Level (FL in short) is a character's amount of faith in percent.

It is increased by:

  • praying (4% per action)
  • damaging temple of other religions than your own
  • reparing temple of your religion
  • giving alms at level 4 church


It is decreased by:

  • daily (1% per day)
  • damaging temple of your religion


Faith Points

Faith Points (FP in short, also used AFP - Accumulated Faith Points) are like a currency for everything religion can do:

  • Initiations
  • Healing actions
  • Marriages
  • Starting construction projects of new subordinate temples
  • Adding a new Dogma
  • etc.


Faith points are requirement for taking a religious role. See Structure Control Requirements.


Faith Points are generated by prayer. The same amount that character earns go to the church, along with about 6 copper coins/prayer (not taken away from the praying character).

Priests of directly superior temples can transfer FP between all their subordinate temples.


It is preferable to be praying at level 4 temple, as praying there generates most Faith points for the church (and also most silver)


Every service a priest can perform drains their temple's FP.


Initiation (baptism)

Sometimes also called Baptism.

In order to join a religion, a character must be initiated by a priest. A priest can find the link to initiate a player in the page Characters present in Region or on the character's public profile.

Only level 4 priests can perform initiation. If you want to get baptized, you need to search for level 4 priest.

Conditions for character to be initiated:

  • The character to be initiated must be an atheist
  • Character that is to be initiated must be in the same region where level 4 temple is
  • Character that is to be initiated must be not busy doing any other action (he needs to be idle)

Conditions for priest:

  • Priest that is to be initiated must be in the same region where level 4 temple is
  • Priest (Level 4) must have adequate levels of Glut and Energy
  • A Golden Basin with condition >= 25% must be in the temple's storage
  • The temple needs to have the necessary Faith Points
  • Priest must have a Faith Level of at least 75%

Initiation will block both the initiated player and the priest for period of time. Expected lasting time is 2.5 hours
The Initiation can be canceled by either character, but the required items will be consumed.

Required resources:

  • 5 Glut, 5 Energy per hour (for both: character to be initiated and priest)
  • At least one Golden Basin in the structure with quality >= 25%.
  • x FPs

  • The Initiation stats of the priest will be increased

Restoring Health Points

If a person is atheist, he can only be cured by religions, which accepted the Cure Health Extended dogma. In this case, healing will take 4h instead of 2h and health will be restored to 100%

If a person is a follower of the faith, then, his FL must be >=75%, but his health will be filled only to his FL level. So it is best to ensure you have 100% FL before you are being healed.

See Structure Control Requirements to learn about the requirements to become priest of a temple.


Damage

Temples are the only structures that can be damaged and destroyed in the game.

A temple can be damaged by characters in the same region, who need to equip a Pickaxe and start the action from the temple's tooltip menu.


The action consumes energy, glut and decreases the Pickaxe's as well as clothing and shoes condition.

  • If person is follower of same religion as temple, his FP and FL are decreased
  • If person is follower of different religion as temple, his FP and FL are increased.


Temple is damaged for:

When temple reaches <= 30% it becomes unfunctional and when it reaches 0% it is destroyed.
