Hello Folks,
My sister, brother-in-law, friend, and I play BNW every week. We play on Quick, Immortal, Pangea+, 12 Civs, 35 City States, Medieval start. My sister usually pulls ahead early on when she is either the first, or, at worst, the third Civ to form a religion. She'll stay on top for about, oh, I'd say 20 turns...then she starts to fade away.
I think the large part of the issue is that we are not sure what having a religion, especially an early lead because of grabbing one first, actually does for victory in the game. In other words, if you have religion as your strong suit, what victory conditions should you be gunning for? What themes should you ride in your game to take advantage of the religion strength?
Thanks for any help!
I didn't know if I should have posted this question here or in the main lobby.
Please inform.
Regards,
Marc
