Description
This mod works either stand-alone or as an add-on to either my Historical Religions mod or the Historical Religions Edit.

It splits Buddhism into three denominations:

Theravada
Mahayana
Vajrayana

The mod updates the religious preference for Buddhist civs and includes new religion icons and full civlopedia entries.

Update: No gameplay changes. Mod converted to SQL to ensure better compatability across all my Historical Religions mods. If you need the previous version to continue a save, a download link is at the bottom of the description.

I like your this very much. May I help you translate it into Chinese? My friends who can't read English are interested it. I have translated Civ5 MOD before. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=223084663

Most forms of Tibetan Buddhism fall under Vajrayāna, which is a more esoteric approach to Mahayana Buddhism. Monophysitism and Oriental Orthodoxy are somewhat interchangeable as well, I chose Oriental Orthodoxy as I believed it would be more recognizable.

PS under Historical Religions, you may want to add a Monophysitism.

WTF happened to Lamaism?

Its great to have 50+ religions in a game, but very sadly, the inherent mechanics of Civ V make impossible to founded more than one. If the game offers you the option to create a new religion everytime a Great Prophet appears......woh, your mods could reaching a whole new level.
Either way, you make an awesome work!!

I suppose making them distinctive would be difficult, though I use flags instead of civ symbolys and the other mod I mentioned (calypso's) colored the vanilla religions as well. But do as you will I guess.

Well, I’m purposefully trying to imitate the style of the religion icons in the non-modded game. Although I’m not against doing colored versions, I personally prefer the symbols being simple silhouettes (as this works better at the smaller icon sizes and blends well with the civ symbols). The problem with this, though, is that all my religion mods together result in 64 different icons, which, if you’re just doing a colored silhouette, becomes hard to give them all distinct colors.
