VP Congress: Session 2, Proposal 59
Proposal: Ancestor worship goes from +2 faith/+2 culture from councils, +1 faith per 5 pop to +2 faith/+1 culture from councils, +1 faith per 4 pop.
Rationale: In our long discussion in the main forum about pantheon balance, Ancestor Worship rose to the top as consistently too good. The problem is its incredibly good in pretty much every situation, no matter what your playing, ancestor worship is a top tier pantheon. Its so good its impacting the balance of other pantheons. The main issue is the culture, it can give you a very strong culture base right at the beginning, and its scales very quickly as you expand because the bonus comes online so fast.
This change gives AW a slightly stronger faith pool but at the cost of culture. This makes it a solid baseline, a decent founding pantheon, a good "backup" pantheon when your terrain doesn't call for anything else, but no longer top tier.
