How does one found a new religion?

[Red Ant]

Sorry for the dumb question, but I've been out of the loop for a long time. Last time I played, there were certain techs one could research, and the first civ to get them would found a new religion, but that does not seem to be the case anymore.

What do I have to do to make my people "see the light"?

It still works like that. If you have played C2C recently or an older vesion of AND, update to the latest AND version and delete civilization.ini. Also some founding techs have been changed from the past.

Oh ok ... guess I haven't looked closely enough then. Thanks for helping.

I'm on a totally fresh install here ... downloaded the latest version last night.

Just make sure you don't have any older version of AND or of RoM installed.

Maybe religions are founded but you just can't see the icons ? Check HERE, special note for Steam users.

I finally managed to found my own religion 4000 years into the game. Guess the other civs just beat me to all the previous techs.
I got to say, I quite like how the mod has improved ... seems the AI is a lot more competitive now.

Yeah, I tend to have a very hard time founding a religion first unless I play with a civilization that receives exactly the right free starting technologies I need, and can beeline quickly.
