[Vote] (1-19) First Great Prophet Always Spawns In The Capital

[Delvemor]

STRONGLY DISAGREE!!!

Why?

At harder difficulties where you can't have your own religion, or in games where you just skip on a religion, you usually got to war. Going to war means taking a different capital. Different capital MIGHT be a holy city.

Do I really want to move my GP from my unholy capital all the way to the other side of the planet to my actual conquered holy city?

First of all in higher difficulties it's much easier to found your own religion than to take an AI capital/holy city as long as you get a decent pantheon. Even if you do take a holy city from someone else, your capital is never going to be "on the other side of the planet", otherwise it would mean that you've conquered more than one AI, in which case you probably should go up in the difficulty levels.

I've raised a Github request to add an option to restore the current behaviour. I was going to wait until the vote closed but I understand that some changes are already being implemented.

I've finally realised that what I should have done was to create a counterproposal "Add an option to make the first GP spawn in the capital" - too late now of course.
