1. Hellenic refers to the pre-Roman period. Based on what else you've written, it should be Hellenistic.
2. The gods you list are all Roman gods, tied to Cultus Deorum. A Greek would not refer to Zeus as Jupiter, even in discussion with a non-Greek Roman.
3. The Pontifex Maximus is, of course, Roman.
4. You have a good idea with the Mystery religions, it's Mithras though.
5. Sol Invictus better means Unconquered Sun.
I suggest you rename the mod to Gods of Rome or Cultus Deorum.
Thanks, blessings.
Why not upload to Workshop?
because it sucks :)
Are you a dev?
too bad I won't be able to play this mod since my version of the game is the 2.0.4
I'm reading "Jupiter, Mars, Venus, ...", but isn't that wrong? The Hellenic Religion was based on the Greek gods, which in return are named Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Ares, ..., you get the idea. The planet-names are actually the roman counterpart to the greek gods. I do agree that they are technically the same gods (Jupiter <-> Zeus, Neptune <-> Poseidon, Pluto <-> Hades and so on), but it still feels wrong to use the roman names for a greek religion.
You sir have just won the medal for dumbassery.
This mod aims to recreate the Hellenic religion based on the one present in-game and the religion present during the Roman Empire.
Aren't you a bit harsh on the guest? He does have a point, as far as I'm concerned. The so called "Hellenistic Religion" we're talking about is, in reality, varius different believe systems in the Hellenic Period and in the time of the Roman Empire.
Interestingly enough, Those believe systems were, as he said, based on the greek gods, it did add several gods from other religions though, for example several egyptian gods and goddesses.
Now, that aside, the Hellenic Religion describes the religious beliefs of the people influenced by the Ancient greek culture. It would only be natural then to use the greek names rather than the roman ones.
By the way, telling someone that they won the medal of dumbassery is pretty...rude. You don't want to be insulted either, right? So don't insult others. Your reaction was a tad bit over the top, he just gave you a suggestion how to (possibly) improve the mod you're making. Now, it's true that you, apparently, more or less just started on it, that's no reason to be mean though.
Sorry for the late reply.
I thought it was implied that the mod aims to recreate the religion in Roman times. The presence of the title of Pontifex Maximus, the cult of Sol Invictus etc. would have been enough to understand that this is focused on Roman times.
Hellenic was also ROMAN. as in using HELLENIC. anyways i will contact my friend(Author) About your complaint.
