[Freeciv] tribal/national gods

[Paul Dean <Paul.Dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

here's an idea: parallel to the type of government, there could be a
type of religion.  You research each new religion, A, B, C,... and
each one gives different benefits to the population.  Eg religion X is
a war-like religion which gives good control and passion to your
troops, so all units attacking and defending strengths are multiplied
by 1.5.  Religion Y says that making money is a blessing from your
god, so every city gets a free marketplace.  Religion Z reveres
knowledge, so every city gets a free library.

Of course, it would take a long time to change the religion of a
nation(proportional to the size of population, say), so you can't
change just on a whim, or for a quick war.  (maybe, even, to change
religion you have to sell all your temples and build new ones...)

Just an idea.
Paul.
