I play with Sto maps script and I just tried a large highlands, barbar cities normal and raging(options in the script)


The result is the next: even if you have open land with everyone , if they cant bring a scout in your land (which was the case for 3000 years, due to pesky barbarians) the religion doesnt spread.


I am the only one to discover all the religions and the only one to have them after 3000 years. Not even an AI city has one of them, despite open borders.


So the manual isnt right at 100%. You need open borders AND some visit

I think you are wrong. I never use open borders treaties, but when i discover Judaism and Islam, they spread no matter what treaties or roads you have. i guess it just takes some time. :cool:
