Patron Deities

Manual Download[forum.paradoxplaza.com]
Current version: 1.22
Compatible with: 2.8.X
Note: Disable if using defensive pagans for now.

Description
This mod adds the patron deity mechanic introduced in 2.1.1 for pagan religions, and adds patron saints for Christians. After this, I hope to expand with more options and flavour. Ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Features

• Choose a patron deity as a pagan character
  
• Choose a patron saint as a Christian character
  
• Change your patron after many years of dedication

Compatibility
Compatible with 2.8.X and likely to be for future patches. Compatible with any mod that doesn't change 'decisions/conversion_decisions.txt'. A patch for Historical Immersion Project EMF module is provided.

Integration
Use/adapt the mod as you will as long as you let me know. Credit is appreciated.
