If we add something it needs to be very simple. I’m thinking ‘can purchase valid great people with faith starting in the Classical Era. Give Theodora a different outlet for big faith production.

I don't think being a better religious civ than Byz is unique to Spain.I'd rather nerf Spain than buff Byzantium.

She still needs a faith outlet. Why not let her buy boats with faith?Cataphracts could automatically convert captured cities to Theodora's religion. Then she's a minispain!

While I think the idea is nice, I'm not sure about how useful it'd be. The thing is... In Ancient and Classical Era, you save all the faith for a Great Prophet to get your religion. During Classical and Medieval Era, you'll want to use your faith for as many missionaries as you can afford, and maybe for one more Great Prophet to enhance. The UB will become a real difference between late Medieval and Renaissance Era. And is by that time when you might start thinking about purchasing other GPs with your great faith output. So the difference wouldn't be that big.If we add something it needs to be very simple. I’m thinking ‘can purchase valid great people with faith starting in the Classical Era.

Hear me out: Hear me out: Hear me out: You faith buy a great engineer and use him to build the Haglia Sophia, which gets you a great prophet!Ok, you might want a GE for a key wonder of an early era. But that'd delay your missionaries, Great Prophets... And you'd only be able to get GEs that early if you went Tradition.
Somehow I don't like it too much, it forces Theodora into fighting.Another idea would be to let Cataphracts be Faith Purchasable so you don't need Zealotry
Sarcasm?She still needs a faith outlet. Why not let her buy boats with faith?
Yep. That's exactly what I was thinking when I said "key wonder"Hear me out: Hear me out: Hear me out: You faith buy a great engineer and use him to build the Haglia Sophia, which gets you a great prophet!
In addition to the awesome idea to let Cataracts settle cities and this, I think Byz should get to faith-buy her UB. I mean it just gives faith anyways, so why not let her faith buy it?3. Buying naval units? Spain has it, but sure, it's good enough to get my vote for Byzantium.
Yes.Is the goal of a change to improve the AI's Byzantine performance or a human's Byzantine performance?
Isn't it a bit contradictory? Great UU for fighting, great UA for playing religion peaceful, great UB for playing religion tall.I love playing with Byzantium as it stands now, and I think it might be even a bit too strong. Peaceful religious game is very strong in VP and Byzantium is a top civ when it comes to that, with few rivals. On top of that, it has a great UU.
Actually in another thread he confirmed our thoughts:but Gazebo said it's doing ok with AI, so...
Civs - all frozen except for Byzantium (she's performing middle-of-the-pack, but never better than that and often worse).
