In
this thread, I threatened to create an AAR/strategy guide for religions. Now that the game is complete, I can begin.
The questions to be answered are:
- Are religions any good
- Are multiple religions any good
- Should I found one
- How do you maximize their benefits
- What victories should you shoot for
- Can you get all the religions
Are religions any good?
There is certainly some debate over whether or not a religion is worth your while, and you should experiment for yourself to find your own answer. My answer is this:
Yes!
My personal focus is usually on increasing my hammer output, with secondary focus on science. Sufficient Culture is needed to get the borders out there, Gold is merely a means to keep my science slider high, and Food, Health, and Happiness only serve to feed the production engine.
