So I got used to AI civs sending over their missionaries and prophets ad nauseum; and though I push to get a pantheon early I rarely bother about trying to found a religion nowadays (i.e. I only build a shrine in capital, don't chase after Stonehenge etc.)
And then in my last two or three games the AI civs have stopped bothering me at all - oh sh*t, can't found a religion but can't get converted, therefore can't buy GPs with faith any more, no Cathedrals/Pagodas etc. for me.
In current game for instance, apart from our early warring days I've had DOF and open borders more or less constantly with Monty; but only fairly recently did he bother coming in and converting a city!
Is this a new ploy that others have noticed? Or just luck of the draw?
