I cannot figure out how my Incan neighbor's religion puts out so much pressure. If he gets just one follower in one of my cities it exerts +12 pressure. In my holy city with a grand temple, there are 9 followers of my religion (+30 pressure.) There are just two followers of the Incan religion that does (+42! pressure.) How is this possible? I cannot figure it out. I don't think I have any religious mods running, but I'll double-check. Am I missing something? This is incredibly unfair.

I have one religious mod that is supposed to just add different beliefs you can choose from, but I'm looking in game at what he has chosen and nothing sticks out as being so empowering. Can anyone think of how this is possible or maybe it is a glitch caused by other mods incidentally?

Religious pressure is NOT dependent on number of followers in a city, but on how many other cities of a faith are within 10 (13 with Itinerant Preachers enhancer) hexes of that city, or that are farther, but sending a trade route to that city. Note that the Religious Texts enhancer increases pressure per city/TR, and that holy cities with the Grand Temple exert double pressure. Also note the the game doesn't show religious pressure for a given religion unless there is a follower of that religion in the city, but it IS still present and will eventually result in a follower there...

The War Academy contains a full set of articles about the religion system (one set for Gods & Kings and a revised set for Brave New World), including one article that explains how pressure works: http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=521447#howdoesreligionspread (BNW version)
One other caveat is that religious pressure does not display in the tool-tip until there is at least follower. The religious pressure was all along, just no obvious indication of it!
