Last night, I thought of an indirect way of spreading my religion to AI civs I'm not on friendly terms with -and thus don't have open borders with- by gifting my missionaries to a friendly 3rd party AI. I was happy to see that the AI will in fact send them off to their neighbours and and spread my religion!
This is also especially useful if you consider the 3-missionary limit. Once I give away my missionaries, I can create more and repeat the process.
It works great in large land masses, but also works for continents across the ocean if you can live with the travel time involved shipping missionaries off by sea.
A nice side-effect is reduced micromanagement of having to send off your missionaries to specific cities - just give them away and forget about them.
Has anyone else tried this?
