Faith Ruins how often do you find them?

[fuzzatron717]

As the title says how often do you find them I have not found one at all when I looked in the civilipedia I found nothing. But I know there real cause people do find them so my two-part question is what diffuclty do you usually find them on and how many games does take to find one on average so Example: A faith ruin usually appears every seven games or 7:1. and thats all I think.

ruins are completely random, Anything can happen, they depend only on difficulty and nothing else....

 

[smellymummy]

very rare, but it happens

though i have to say i've ran across them more often than the fountain of youth

Only played maybe 10 full games since G&K release, but out of those 10 games I received a faith ruin 3/10 times.

If I'm finding a ton of ruins, I'll get a faith ruin. If I only find a few, I get bupkis.

I think I've seen only one or two faith ruins since I got the expansion. However, the AI seems to find lots of them. I usually play Emperor or Deity, so I'm betting they're weighted by the difficulty setting.

Volume helps, but not always. Maybe 10% of all ruins I trip end up being faith ruins? likely less than that if I think hard enough.

Twice ever.

I've found them to be quite rare as well.

One time I found them before discovering a pantheon (and yielded enough Faith to instantly found a pantheon). Something about a female Oracle telling me stuff. Other times, I've found secret groups who foretell of a great prophet. I do like the variety in the descriptions!

I found one once. There could have been more- I was busy going out buying a lotto ticket.

I've found three, and two of the times I wasnt even going for a religion...

Remember - if you run into an enemy scout with your starting warrior in the first 5 or so turns, trap it on the coast or on a mountain and kill it if you can. You'll get a lot more huts if you do that Plus, it means that the AI was so close to you that you were going to end up at war with them eventually anyway. And maybe you will get the faith ruin.

I think I got a +60 faith one on Immortal but it was after founding a pantheon. I get it about 1 out of 4 games or something like that.

 

[fuzzatron717]

All you guys are really lucky.

 

[Harv72b]

I had one start where I popped a faith ruin for 30 (Epic speed), which got me the first pantheon. Then a couple dozen turns later I found one that gave me +190 (!), and led to me grabbing the second religion in the game without having built a single shrine (I did quest my way into friendship with a religious CS).

In the other way too many G&K games I've played, I can remember finding two other faith ruins, total.

 

[marvelharvey]

Only twice I think. I get far more 'maps of the ocean' than faith.

 

[Althiosk]

Once every few games, i think.

Its wonderful to get that early pantheon when I find it.

 

[Flaviusx]

Very rare for me. Maybe 1 in 10 times. But it is huge when it happens.

 

[draaibaar]

I got 50 faith one time on Immortal, just enough to give me a pantheon. I didn't have invested anything in faith at that moment.

I think it's impossible to get the faith ruins before you get your pantheon. Lately, I have been testing the ingame editor (cheating tool) at deity. I ran 5 games and put ancient ruins all over the place. Each turn, I would get pop increase, gold, map, message about barbarians, culture or a random ancient tech. For about 20 turns, I did not pop a single faith ruin and I had 2 scouts popping ruins every turn. After the time I get my pantheon belief, then rarely i'd receive the faith ruin about the coming of a great prophet.
