I'm doing some short games of G&K to try to get a handle of different facets of gameplay. Figured out the Quinquereme/Elephant/Catapult rush pretty quickly, and got used to leveraging Pantheons, and now I'm doing some games with a heavy religious focus.
So, um, how do you do it?
I've been spreading my religion to my own cities and neighboring city states, which seem to give me "spread your religion" quests often, which is a great bonus. But what about to the AI? On a 9-player map, you'll have 4 AI not found a religion, so do you just spam missionaries at them? Is it worthwhile to use missionaries/inquisitors on AI that have founded religions? Is there really much reason to suicide missionaries into a rival religion's holy city? If it makes a difference, I've been playing on Immortal and snagging Stonehenge to make sure I get a religion and a decent Pantheon.
(As an aside, anyone fill me in on this "local happiness" thing? How's it different than just normal happiness?)
