Don't see the faith symbol on desert tiles?

Did by any chance Marrakech starve at any point after adopting the Pantheon?

Pantheons grow with the city to keep the majority (same with religion) however several months back somebody noticed that if you lose population you also lose the base number of Pantheon followers and at one point you will actually LOSE the Pantheon status.

So in other words, Marrakech no longer follows your pantheon effectively. Your only bet is to expand to a second city and make sure that doesn't starve.

And no, you cannot raise your pantheon level. Your only best bet is to rush to get a religion somehow (Hagia Sophia, Liberty finisher etc).

Never seen anything like that!

But yeah, it's due to lack of majority. Did you just recently get a population ruin or two?

Yeah, due to being in the desert and getting the Pantheon so insanely quickly, someone starved. But it was from a population from 2 to 1 (I didn't even care since I got the extra pop from a population ruin), so it's still odd to me.

Your city grew faster than your pantheon influence. Another problem is when you adopt a religion and it is overtaking your pantheon. I have seen a city lose its pantheon bonus because 1/2 of the population followed the pantheon and 1/2 followed the religion the pantheon became and neither was dominant. It seemed like a bug to me.

It's definitely a bug imo when you get cities on that break even point where either having a pantheon believer majority or a religion believer majority grants you the pantheon belief but if neither has a majority you wont. As far as the pantheon belief specifically is concerned they should be added when determining majority influence.

What happened is that religious pressure increases when pop increases, but doesn't fall when it decreases..

So:
City with no pantheon grows... "Atheist" pressure increases
City loses pop
City gets pantheon... With pressure based on lower pop... Not enough to overcome the "atheism"

Basically religious people always die first.

It is weird. I had a few times also with Religious tolerance where I would get double my pantheon bonus for quite a few turns before my religion overtook my pantheon because my religions pantheon was the second pantheon.

On the plus side when you found a religion you will have some pressure to grow into the atheist population.
