Explained mechanics

• Shendao: events bring you closer to Taoism or Confucianism and on ruler death you can choose a buddhist branch.
  
• Totemism: same mechanic as Fetishism, choose a god to worship and integrate foreign gods to worship by going to war against or neighboring foreign religions.
  
• Egyptian: invest manpower and tax income to build monuments and pyramids, on ruler death you get various bonuses depending on your accumulated monument points.

The mechanics are built upon the new mechanics brought by DLC over the years here are the DLCs required to play the religion with their full new modded mechanics:

I am open to suggestions but here are answers to some comments you might have.

• Is this compatible with...? No, this mod changes many core files so only mods which add new files and don't modify any existing ones could be compatible.
  
• Some countries shouldn't exist in this alternate timeline! You are correct but to simplify gameplay and to keep it as close to vanilla EU4 I left everything but religions unchanged so players could jump into a unique but familiar game.
  
• Some flags have christian crosses or islamic crescents! See previous points, but also it's better to keep the flags as visual clues rather than have players read every text to know which country does this flag belong to.
  
• Albania isn't slavic! I am aware albanians aren't slavic but it's too much work to create a religion for a single country/province.
  
• Tengri isn't dao! I know but for the shaman mechanics to work they have been put inside the group.
  
• Pagan isn't only european! The way the word pagan was born and used it was limited to European pagans and there is already the idiom folk religion for all "pagan" religions.
  
• What kind of name is hamitic? Better fitting name than semitic since only kaaba is semitic.
  
• Some events have old pictures and texts! Due to the sheer amount of events only the main ones have been rewritten.
