I started with scout-slinger-settler-holy site. I took Religious Settlement as Pantheon. However I had one of the settlers captured by barbarians and when I could recover him, he was far away. That's why my third city (Pikun Mapu) is not near my capital.

I build the ancestral hall in Willi Mapu and put Magnus with Provison there. My capital is spamming Wonders and Willi Mapu spamming settlers. I took Jesuit Education and World Church as my religion believes.

I'm planning to get an Alliance with Roman and to kill their religion as soon as they found it. I'd like my religion to be the only one im my continent because of the World Church. Roman has one Great Prophet but no Holy Site. Next Era I'll take Monumentality and I'll build my unique improvement.
