Ghandi - I didn't understand the math behind his UA until recently and its's very powerful for WIDE empires.

Thank you, I found the MadDjinn video and will watch it. I'm in agreement with Deau about secondary social policies but what about the primary - is Liberty truly viable at Diety and how strong would your religion need to be for Piety to be worth consideration pre-rationalism? Finally, has any...
