Citizenship and religious pressures in G&K and BNW

Civ 5 Religion Guide – Gods and Kings and Brave New World Religious Conversion & Pressure Cities suffer from religious pressure from trade routes and cities within 10 cells Religious Pressure is created by Cities that have converted to that Religion and is a Religion. Each Cult City sends +6 Pressure for its Religion to all Cities within 10 cells. Religious pressure varies with game speed, much lower at slower speeds like Marathon, so all numbers here are baseline. So if a City feels pressure from 3 Cities within those 10 cells, it will gain +18 Pressure and convert a Citizen about 6 turns. Holy Cities inflict 5 times this amount of Pressure on themselves, thus 30 Pressure per turn. Neighboring and Converted Cities will return the pressure, giving you more value in the Holy City and making it very difficult to Natural Transform. With multiple Religions competing, it will take longer for you to turn the tables, although with more Pressure you are guaranteed to win a majority in the end. Looks like their Accumulated Pressure over time could come into play – a case in point where the Holy City has long held its place but has recently found itself surrounded by other Cities is creating Pressure – Citizenry won’t fall in a new way so quickly. because there was too much pressure exerted there in the past. In this case, a Great Prophet would do a better job than a Missionary, as their Transforming power would only topple a few Citizens, while a Great Prophet could turn the City around. the Holy City and change most of its religions, even permanently – but it will still be a Holy City with a few followers, as they will gradually return due to the Holy City’s base of +30 Abs capacity. Read: how to propagate a civil religion 5 You can use your knowledge of the spread of Religion to devise Strategies to make your domination. Religious Pressure is done through trade routes, so if you can get multiple Cities sending Pressure to the same City, you can convert it. Note that a City cannot pressure Cities twice, so Trade Routes are a means of Pressureing Cities that are outside of 10 tiles. You will note this is why some Cities are not under pressure from your routes. To go beyond this range with the Land trade routes, you’ll need a Caravan in town to expand the range to 15 cells. Use this to put your Religion “behind the enemy’s front lines” to speak and allow you to switch more Cities. Sea Trade routes are also good, as they start with a range of 20 tiles and can go up to 45, and yield more gold than land trade routes. Certain area. This will help you identify good targets for your Great Evangelists and Prophets if you want to try to make your Religion dominate. As the years go by and more and more Cities convert to your Religion, they will be safe and put enough pressure on each other to no longer need the Trade Routes. Using later opportunities to change Trade Routes and take them to Cities will help spread your Religion in another part of the map. You can use routes from multiple Cities to the same target to increase Pressure, but also consider sending as much from your Holy City as possible to spread the Dao as its Outward Pressure increases double with Grand Temple. Your Elevated Faith will eventually make it easier for you to spread Religion. Odds are, Itinerant Preachers (13-hex pressure) or Religious Texts (Religion spreads 25% faster, 50% with Printer) will be your top choices if you I want my Religion to spread globally. Both have their merits, a faster conversion of individual Cities – but realizing that itinerant Preachers means Cities will be pressured from even more 3 hexs sources, which means they have the ability to Convert even faster than Religious Texts. Note that Religious Content works on the decimal level, so with a 25% faster Conversion and 6 Pressure per city you will make 7.5 Pressure per turn, although it will round only shows 7. being born in a City will represent that City’s Majority religion, so be careful when you buy your Missionaries. By default, missionaries receive two uses of Evangelism, while Great Prophets receive four uses. The Great Prophets will temporarily eliminate all other Religious opposition in the City, until pressure allows it to rebuild and gradually reinstate the Citizens. By default, both the Evangelist and the Great Prophet have a power of 1000, which seems to be directly related to Religious Pressure – so it can convert 10 Citizens by making 1000 Pressures force in a City that has never been subject to Religion and converts less and less Citizens depending on how much pressure is on other Religions in the town, as well as how long the natural Conversion will take more time. Missionaries, but not Great Prophets, will consume -250 Strength/turn while in another Civ’s territory if you don’t have Open Borders. This gradually brought them down until they disbanded, their transformation power dwindling with each turn in foreign lands. Edge Cities is all you can hope for here, and you should probably use both Transformations on the same Cities. Great Mosque of Djenne will cause all Evangelists born in a City to have 3 Transform actions instead of 2, and have some Beliefs that can affect Conversions – such as causing the Evangelists to change. evangelism has the ability to remove other Religious Pressures such as the Great Prophets (Missionaries). Citizens of the Holy City can be converted due to religious pressure, but it takes a long time. First, when parked in the City or the tile next to it, it cannot become a target for Religious Propagation from the Great Evangelists or Prophets. In a way, they meant Religious Defense units. You can only use their operability on your own Cities. When used, the Heresy’s Remove Heresy action will remove all traces of a Foreign Religion from the City while also turning some back into your Religion. Scouts are especially useful after an enemy opposing the Hegemony has used a Missionary on your City. This will cause their Missionaries to be consumed, while your understanding of Religious Pressures will allow you to Transform their cities over time without trespassing on their borders , if you can convert all Cities around them to your Majority. Religion from the World You must annex a Holy City to permanently remove a Religion from the game. The AI will usually find their Sanctuary in the Capitals, which means they are invulnerable, though that may not always be the case – if that’s the case, you can certainly burn it down but that’s usually a bad choice. You will find the Holy Citadel continues to generate Pressure and cannot be destroyed without the Inquisitor. Once you gain control of a City and use their Heresy Elimination ability, the other Civ’s religion will eventually be wiped out from that City, and it will no longer be a Holy City and exert pressure. onto itself and the surrounding Cities. Clearing the Heresy can only be used in Acquired Cities. Note that using Remove Heresy on the Holy City will not remove Religion from the game, but only prevent that City from applying pressure. If Religion is dominating the neighboring Cities, it may continue to make a comeback in the Holy City. Converting other Cities with a Great Prophet or Missionary will be necessary to remove it from the game entirely. It will eventually die if you persist. I tested removing the Pressure of the Holy City without me owning the City using a Great Oracle to spread there, with all surrounding Cities providing 67+ pressures per turn for My Religion. Inevitably, other Religions will start anew, although if done properly you won’t find it becoming the majority belief in that City again as they will only be able to act as the Evangelist. for your Religion.
