I always forget to do this with my religion in Civ VI

[@BrianThomasthe3rd]

In this video, Saxy fails to remember inquisitors exist…until much too late. They’re much better for defense than apostles on a per faith basis

[@ToothyFilms]

Even if I am going for a religious victory, I seed my territories with inquisitors and let the enemy civs apostles flow into me and then knock them off 1 by 1. Then later in the game I push out apostles to do the real dirty work of a religious victory.

[@alex2005z]

Depends on whether you are planning on fighting or just spreading your religion. A few apostles and gurus can defend incredibly well

[@AlbinoCheesemonkey]

Not even Saxy expected the Nubian Inquisition.

[@dalesnell6286]

Inquisitors are not worth a whole lot as attacking units, imho, but they do wonders for removing alien religions from your cities. I find that Guru units help keep my Apostles going even against enemy Apostles with Debater. I've been known to send teams of Apostles, Gurus, and Missionaries into countries not following my religion and do very well both converting cities and obliterating enemy Apostles.

[@brianmiller1077]

Keep one or two inquisitors in key cities either in the city or on the holy site. They can wound most missionaries or provide apostles with flanking bonuses.

I'm so glad you're back, Saxy!

Enemy Apostles got you down? One word: Inquisition.

[@samuelhakansson6680]

Big mistake there evangelizing for a Stupa (and buying more missionaries) when you have a neighbour going so hard on you with apostles and nearly wiping out your religion. At that point you need Inquisitors. Not necessarily to fight Apostles with (though they can), but to act as a failsafe that can instantly re-convert a city if shit hits the fan. If you're under pressure like that, it's both the cheapest and most efficient use of faith in order to get your religion back up throughout your empire. Oh, and it's extra era score as well.

At 6:28 your apostle had 5 spreads that could be used to reconvert your capital.

[@seannborba8416]

Wooop midgame segment! Lets goooooo!

[@LabAce2]

when attacking opponents apostles flanking them with multiple of your own apostles before attacking will provide a larger amount of damage compared to a 1v1 battle. The gurus are amazing for healing them back right away after a battle as well

[@tshiif]

Since everyone else has commented on inquisitors, I'd instead also point out that Laying On Of Hands does indeed work on ALL units and not only religious units. Very important and useful to know!

[@Jawu523]

Glad you’re back making new KZbin videos. I used to watch your videos to improve my skill.

[@wnchstrman]

Inquisitors are ok for fighting apostles, but they are really for eliminating enemy religions from your cities. ALWAYS keep at least 1 full charge inquisitor in reserve to save your religion.

[@matthewstephens6502]

I swear, no one in this community values religion like they should. Apostles are dumby strong. They're versatile too. Religion itself is a currency for a military. It can buy great people. Most of the game, early to mid at least, let's you buy all civilian units. Apostles can convert barbs. They can be relics. They are a win condition themselves.

[@alex2005z]

It also masively delays your early game. Its usually not worth on non faith civs

[@matthewstephens6502]

@@alex2005z and the benefit doesn't outweigh the cost? And of course. Only civs that can make a lot of faith really use it like that. But that's a bunch when you include pantheons. Desert folklore. Dance of the aurora. Idr the rainforest ones name

[@alex2005z]

@@matthewstephens6502 the benefit doesnt outweigh the cost unless its a faith civ. Monumentality could make up for it a bit, but if you simply go commercials with free inquiry its better. Costs: slower and worse start. You have to open with 1 settler instead of 2 or you risk not getting a religion, and guarantee that you will have to project it. Getting a classical era golden age is 1 in a hundred so you can only rely on medieval era monumentality. By that point you will be to far behind for your faith and religious beliefs to help you comeback if you arent getting something extra out of it, like what good religious civs get

[@matthewstephens6502]

@@alex2005z I stopped reading when you said a golden classical Era is 1 in 100. No its not. 99% of the time I have a golden there.

[@alex2005z]

@@matthewstephens6502 are you playing on online speed or with some mod to make it easier? You cant realisticly get 25 era score points without a really good start. Altough I guess you are one of the people who restarts until they get a god start so it makes sense

What Mods do you play with? They make UI look much cleaner!

[@cafespy6906]

It did not look like your religion was going to survive. Well played.

[@davidjosephweyh325]

Great video! I think you’re grossly underestimating inquisitors though….one of their charge uses on your cities is like the prostheylzer promotion for apostles.

[@AWFarmer]

I am addicted to using the city state floods of envoys to put religious pressure on cities. There are probably better beliefs to evangelize, but I like it.

[@Flowers4Fischl]

Why not ask Vietnam for a promise to stop converting your cities?

[@davidenicolini3050]

actually moksha heals all units and not just religious ones
