Founding Religion Problems in Scenarios

[Elucidus]

I have been trying to make a scenario where a couple of religions are already founded, and so the players have the techs for them and they have the holy cities already set. but everytime I play on turn 6 it makes me pick a religion for each tech I had. Is there a setting in the scenario file for me to set this not to happen, or am I missing something simple? Thank you.

Are you playing with "Choose Religions" on ? If so turn it of.
It should be possible to force it off with the Scenario as well, with ForceControl statements in the WBS file.

It is off, but I will try the force control off and see if that makes a difference, thanks.

Hmmm, if it is off already, the forcecontrol will probably do nothing...

There is a small python hack to prevent auto-founding completely... In CvGameUtils.py find doHolyCity() and change to "return True".

Is it the doHolyCity(self):

one that was the closest I found and that didn't seem to make a diffference. Still founded the religion on turn 6.

To completely circumvent the normal religion-founding mechanism you have to modify both doHolyCity() and doHolyCityTech(). There's some discussion on this in the topic Preventing Religion Founding.

Thanks, this may give me what I am looking for.
