A quick question: is it possible to use an Apostle to launch an Inquisition (and thus build Inquisitors) if you did not found a religion?
In my current game, I didn't bother pursuing a religion, but got converted to Buddhism early on. I rather like the beliefs that come with Buddhism, so I want to have it as majority religion in my cities. However along comes Brazil with his relentless Catholic Missionaries and Apostles to convert me. I have Holy Sites and can use my (huge) stockpile of faith to buy Apostles. However these Apostles don't have the option to launch an Inquisition. Is this working as intended, or another bug introduced by this new patch? I don't know because I haven't tried this before.
It's rather annoying as it leaves me with very little viable defence against conversion and no way at all (short of rolling the right Apostle promotion) to reconvert my cities. Thankfully Pedro is a long way from getting a Religious Victory, but it seems there's not much I can do to hinder him until I launch a military invasion.
I'd like for them to reintroduce Civ IV-style state religion so you can actually make clear what Religion you want to follow. Enough policies and beliefs work on a religion-by-religion basis (combat bonuses against different religions, etc) that it's important to know what religion a given unit is "following", something the game does not make at all clear.
