I haven't played a lot of Civ yet. But I have a similar sentiment. Just got done with a 500 turn game in which I failed to be as dominant with religion as I had intended. Had I known about this, I might have performed better.

Subscribed to your channel today. Love 4x games and am a big fan of Civ 5 (don't like 6 at all!). Learned a lot from your Humankind videos! Thanks for the great work. Always love seeing new Civ 5 content. Couple of things to add IMO - a little talk about Pantheons and how important it is to get pantheons early as the cost of getting pantheons goes up as others get them (Single/multiplayer). Another thing to get faith early is to scouting as much as you can in the beginning to meet religious city states like Lhasa/Wittenberg can also get you faith without building. Getting this is a bit of luck though. Always build Shrines early - esp if you take Tradition. I like to start with 2 scouts - research Pottery and build a shrine as early as possible. The best faith pantheons IMO are Desert Faith (if you have a few desert tiles), Earth Mother (if you have a couple of copies salt/copper), One with nature (if you're lucky enough to settle a good wonder - Old Faithful/Barringer Crater/Krakatoa are not so useful at the beginning), and, God King (if you don't have anything else). Quarries are decent if you have multiple copies of stone/marble but tend to be slower to develop. The rest looks good. Perhaps a couple of words on the Faith Wonders later like the Mosque of Djenne and Grand Temple would be good. The Piety tree as well can really accelerate your faith and help with Gold/Culture and Military later. Oh - if you have a decent religion - it also helps to be friends/allies with Faith based City states - another way to buff your Faith/turn and be able to buy stuff. Faith also helps with the Culture victory where all religious buildings give +2 tourism. If you can establish your world religion as majority - that helps tourism as well. Spreading your religion to city states reduces the speed at which your influence over them diminishes and you get a tourism modifier for shared religions with other civs.. Thanks again though!

Also, within the Piety Tree, the final social policy allows you to have reformation abilities. Within those abilities, you can choose to also buy all great people using faith post Industrial. There are several others too and they are all mostly very useful in the late game.

Notes on the inquisitors: 1. they can defile another religion's holy city (if you own it), permanently removing its HC status (allowing it to be razed if it wasn't also the capital city). 2. I believe their effectiveness is severely reduced when using them in cities you don't own 3. Unlike Great Prophets, _Missionaries and Inquisitors_ DON'T necessarily support their purchaser's religion; they support whatever religion happened to be the local majority when and where they were purchased. So if someone else converts your holy city, DON'T buy an inquisitor right away from the same city to try to fix it; you'll only end up desecrating your own holy city (ask me how I know... 😭)

I was hoping for more of an in-depth explanation on some of the traits you can assign to religion, specifically in regard to the less direct +1 type bonuses. Things like the difference in practical application between Religious Texts ("Religion spreads 25% faster (50% with Printing Press)") and Itinerant Preachers ("Religion spreads to cities 30% further away") - when you'd want one vs the other.
@wolfshanze59802 жыл бұрын
If you're founding a religion and picking a trait whose benefit you don't get till the printing press... you're doing it wrong. You should be looking for either early game advantages to get that early momentum going or something that continually adds more and more bonuses over time (like getting more gold for the number of people/cities following your religion for example).

But, is there any "tactical" advantages of spreading your religion to other civs? Because if a religion gives bonuses, tacticaly you wouldnt want for the others to have it. Or am I missing something?
@JumboPixel3 жыл бұрын
Some bonuses are only wanted by the Religion’s Founder, but scale based on how far the religion has spread. For example, Tithe offers gold per number of followers, but just to you as the Founder.

@sergipareracontreras52542 жыл бұрын
Adding onto this: say the opponent you're spreding your faith to is going for a cultural victory and your faith is domination-oriented - you'll make MUCH more profit of spreading that faith than the benefit your opponent will have from adopting said religion (i.e you'll be buying tons of troops with your massive faith generation while their little faith generation will not allow them to, or if they do it they will have to sacrifice buying great artists/writers with it). It's all about making the balance lean on to your end!

This is probably an obvious question but why would you spread religion to other player's cities if it gives them benefits. Surely you would want other religions to come to your cities?

Depends on the bonuses your religion offers. Some are based on number of followers, for example if you get more gold based on # of followers, it can be worth spreading your religion all over the globe.
