Combinations of religious elements

[Arkangelus]

Inspired by a start I just had that was very rich in both wine and incense, I was giving some thought to various parts of the pantheons/founders and follower beliefs that would work well in tandem. Normally, Goddess of Festivals and Monasteries would be pretty weak, but in a scenario like that it'd give you a substancial boost to faith and culture - and pettily, deny foreign followers not in your specific situation a decent follower belief

Since the Aztecs get a combat bonus (and start bias) from jungle they'll do well with Sacred Path - a TP on it with rationalism filled out and a university would give a single tile with 2, 2, 3 and 1. Arabian Oases too could get an extra point of faith on an already excellent tile - not to mention we're assuming that it works on flood plains, meaning Polders...

Any more thoughts come to mind?

the UA of USA seems a good combination with Religious Settlements if they have plenty of land to occupy . One of the combinations which I'll try is Russia with "Dance of the Aurora",since their start bias is usually near Tundra tiles .

I think the best combination for Diplomatic Victory which I'm going to attempt is to get that Papal Primacy, plus Patronage, and see if I'll become friends with everybody, which will mean A LOT of bonuses. (since you get part of stuff when friends)

That will make a better combo with Krepost in my opinion. Sacred water could be better for them as I think they have a river bias + US will mostly go for quick expansion instead of Tall Empire.

BTW I am looking forward to Mayans + Asceticism + Feed the World. That would make pyramids super-awesome.

Goddess of the Hunt will be good for Russia as well. Tundra bias means there will be quite a lot of Deer and Fur around.

America's river starting bias was removed on one of the patches long ago.
