I don't get when I'm supposed to use Inquisitors. I send missionaries to cities with other religions and convert them to mine. Why waste Faith on an Inquisitor for a 1 shot clean out vs. a missionary who can spread your religion twice?
Inquisitors also prevent rival missionaries from spreading their religion if you place them in your cities.
is it 100% resistance, or just weakens the other missionaries?
They completely block missionaries from being able to convert your cities.
When I see the first one coming, I start getting Inquisitors in my cities and just putting them to sleep. Job done.
I've also surrounded a Prophet with units to surpress his movement until all my cities are safe. They go away then. If you can do that with a missionary, they die after a few turns.
An inquisitor is more useful for cities with a significant number of people following a foreign religion. With a missionary, even after converting twice, you often will fail to convert the city to your religion, but with an inquisitor, removing the heathen influence is often enough to let your religion become the majority.I don't get when I'm supposed to use Inquisitors.
