Natural Wonders Pantheon Bug?

[DonPato]

Hello! I'm a long-time lurker, but this is my first post on the forums, so I apologize if this thread belongs somewhere else. I looked for a bug report section of the BNW forum but couldn't find anything.

So last night I went random and rolled Askia. Because of the combination of his UA and UB, I decided that it might be fun to go for a wide religious zealot kind of play style. When I got around to establishing my pantheon, I wanted something that would generate a bunch of faith for me, but most of the good things like Desert Folklore were already taken. However, just barely to the south of me was Sidon, and they had the Grand Mesa NW within their borders. I was already building a really big army for the triple gold out of barb camps and had also opened honor, so I decided to take the +4 from natural wonders pantheon, and took Sidon.

However, the Grand Mesa isn't yielding any faith for me so essentially I wasted my Pantheon belief. I ended up getting my religion up anyway and taking some good beliefs, but I could have had it in like a quarter of the time had the pantheon belief worked. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Does Sidon have your pantheon yet? I think that's a prerequisite for the belief to kick in.

Oooooh... Nope, they don't. I've used a similar strategy in the past but built my second city near the NW, and the city that I built got my pantheon automatically, so I guess I was just assuming it would work for taking the city too. Thanks for the reply!
