My only thought with the tech tree is that it keeps the mandatory monotheism, which has never sat right with me.

Civ 3 monotheism is Christianity/Islam coded, but those religions aren't a strict "Improvement" over polytheistic religion. It isn't exactly correct to say that India wouldn't get to its UU (Elephants at chivalry) without abandoning polytheistic beliefs (like Hindu).

Personally I'd rename monotheism to theology, and then call theology "reformation" or "church projects" or whatever.
EDIT: Patronage, it should be called patronage, representing the hiring of artists to work on projects for the churches and the wealthy families. (Things like the Sistine chapel)

I am not too familiar with religion, so I never paid much attention to the details or specific techs like I have with other areas. I do like how Rhye's and CCM have expanded on religion in the epic game. I'll have to look into how I could enhance that area. It is true that not all Civs progressed into Monotheism so having it as a required tech may not be ideal. Maybe swap Monotheism and Theology as suggested and then change Monotheism to Monasticism.

Could just rename Monotheism to simply "Religion" (as was used in CivDOS) -- or "Organised Religion", or "Priesthood".
