Don't know if this is a bug or just one of those things but it probably shouldn't be happening.

Playing BNW as Siam with a buddy on multiplayer and totally messed up my start... finally got back on track a bit but missed out on a religion :(

Quite far behind tech wise so build some Wats (as you do) and Trading Posts on all the surrounding jungle tiles (of which there's quite a few.)

Anyway next to me is Austria who starts converting all my cites, then I realise that I can buy Universities with faith. Huh? I buy them and hey presto Wat and Uni side by side and double the science on my jungle tiles. Each tile (with a trading post on) is putting out 4 science.

I'm guessing Austria has taken the reformation that allows you to buy universities with faith but surely as Siam that should just be Wats?

Anyway... I'm now ahead in tech and going for a science victory....
 
I had the same with the difference that Jesuit education was my reformation belief, and I could build wats (or buy them for cash) and buy universities for faith.

Yeah 4 specialists and funny jungles are sort of overpowered.
 
I also took Free Thought when I got the chance. Each trading post jungle tile now putting out 5 science. Along with the % bonus from the wat and the uni it's crazy...
 
As part of new hotfix patch:

[BALANCE]
Allow Wats to be purchased with Faith by Siam (instead of Universities).

Looks like that's sorted then...

Fortunately I'd already won my game before this came out :)
