Well based on the cumulative pressure hypothesis. (ie like civ5)
Pressure required for 1 convert= Total pressure/population
Pressure for 1 convert = (atheist pressure+religion pressure)/population
Pressure for 1=(X*population+pressure for 1)/pop
Pressure for 1=50+(Pressure for 1)/population
Pressure for 1 *(1-1/pop)=50
Pressure for 1=50*(pop)/(pop-1)... the problem becomes rounding... it might only need 0.6 "followers" to register as 1
so if 32-36 "city-turns" of pressure was enough for 1 balanced, then
Another possibility is Atheism pressure is "converted" to religious pressure..... so that it the divisor is
(pressure of all religions OR Population*50 whichever is more).... That would give consistent amounts for every pop with no rounding
Followers=Pop*Pressure/(Total pressure OR Population*50 whichever is more)
for atheist cities
Followers=Pressure/50
...but that wouldn't fit with next growth being more complex (except for pop 2, and pop 3 going from 1->2 followers)
What range of city sizes did you test?
[also, at some point we will have to test if a holy city provides more pressure for a religion it has been converted to as opposed to the religion that was founded there...which seems like it shouldn't]
