Hey all! I've been reading CivFanatics for like 15 years and I wanted to share something I haven't seen much of in DoC discussions - a thread on Pagan Religious Victories!
These are a challenge in that you have to accomplish them relatively quickly to prevent the spread of religion to your cities, and you also end up playing a really expansionist game because of the 15 Pagan Temples requirement. Plus whatever special twist the unique aspect of your civ's pagan religion requires.
I started off with the obvious ones - ancient civs like Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Rome, Carthage, Maya & even China. But then I started playing around with later starts, just to see if it was possible, and you can get some really fun and different games if you invest in the setup required to win a Pagan victory. So far I've won as Germany and England, and I'm working on France, Vikings, & Russia, and I'm most excited about Japan because of their unique condition, but I have to get the setup right (ie preventing the foundation of Buddhism by starting with India and not building Hindu Temples).
Interestingly, if you get the setup right, it is actually really easy to win as the US because you can switch to Theocracy right away to prevent the spread of religions and their unique condition just requires having 20 unimproved forest tiles.
As I achieve them, I'll share other uncommon religious victories I'm working on (like full-game Jewish Babylon, Ancient Jewish Greece, or 1700 AD start Zoroastrian Iran!)
So here are some screenshots of the victory screens, does anyone else have any luck or good strategies with Pagan Religious Victories?
