Ethiopia(and the problems)

[SkaisonFire]

I've enjoyed playing RFC for a long while now and i thank Rhye greatly for it,although there is one thing that bugs me.

I Wanted to complete every civs UHV,but the road begins to roughen in East-Africa;

Ethiopian UHV's:

- Ensure that there are no European colonies in east-and Subequatorial Africa in 1500 AD.

Yeah i can probably pull that one off with enough oromo warriors and a little bit of tactics.

- Ensure that there are no European colonies in east-and Subequatorial Africa in 1910 AD.

Well,Its going to be alot harder but also managable through smart thinking and good preparation.

- Found one religion
-This is the problem.

Absolute luck decides if you can win a historical victory or not,and if this was not bad enough,Instead of a fair science race to Theology,The Romans get Theology at a random point in time!

At first i thought that i was just unlucky,and Rome beat me in the science race but after over 50 games I got tired,went to worldbuilder and deleted Julius' Writing tech.

As a result 2 turns later i see "Christianity has been founded"
In frustration i think that probably Greece or India has founded it first,but no!
In worldbuilder is now clearly visible a Rome that hasn't researched writing yet but somehow managed to research Theology!

(tl;dr)
My Point is if rome is gonna get a free religion,dont make ethiopia depend on it!
I hope this is fixed soon(if this is actually the case in all the games),Or just change the UHV of ethiopia to something less random.

RFC isn't developed anymore, so don't hope for a fix.

But the autofounding of Christianity is delayed if you're playing Ethiopia so that it's definitely possible to complete the goal, unless someone else researches Theology on their own first.
