Long time lurker, and have played civ 1 and 3 in the past..

I can only play for a few hours a night, after the kids are in bed, but I had a unique situation last night...

The English established the early two religons; I established buddhism, the other four were founded across the globe. However, I had the English bottlenecked in, and then slowly destroyed them. Now their founding religious cities are 'unknown' (they didn't survive London or Yorktown's fall). I'd hoped to capture them intact. But: what does the rest of the world do, now that their religon's founding city LOST the religon, due to my attack?

Will they convert to new ones, or stay the course?


Secondly; here is the saved game. I think I'm in a spot here, but have only played two games to this point so far. If anyone wants to give advice, please do.

I maybe wrong on this one but if you destroyed the holy cities you will catch a minus point or two on the diplo screen with other civs. "You destroyed a holy city" will be the reason and it's -1 or -2. The other civs aren't likely to convert just because the city is gone. However the Holy City/Founding City is gone thus is any shrine income for that religion.

I didn't see your save because I'm at work, but best of luck.

I'm sure that the armies didn't mean to break the holy city, it was just destroyed and pillaged when they got there...

Well, good to know in the future. I'm not optimistic about winning this game, but don't want to be linked with Dan Quayle anymore.
