I'm trying to understand how the same organization that brought us the crusades and intolerance against gays can also be the world's greatest promoter of peace and kindness.

Most nuns I've met were kind, humble and selfless; and in general I admire people who are able to forsake everything that makes life worth living (to me) for their belief.
The Catholic Church as an organization, on the other hand, is more questionable, but I think the truth lies somewhere between "most evil force in the world" and "greatest promoter of peace and kindness". We'd better leave it at that.

How rude! You read the message that was exclusively meant for me to read...
I don't want to judge an institution like the Catholic Church (I don't have any personal experience with it, except the time I have been baptized as an infant), but although it's admirable that people give up some of their human needs (sex) to grow spiritually it creates big psychological problems for some people whom act out in harmfull ways.
Belief systems should be changed if they turn out to be harmfull or not contributing to happiness, but that's everyone's own decision what you choose to believe.
Intolerance (against gays) appeared before Christianity (Sodom, anyone?).
Crusades were "Catholic" but wars appeared a long time before... anything. And crusades wasn't the worst wars in any mean.
My question: does every forum without mods really have to discus about faith, politics, Poland ;> , spam, Nazis and sanatoria (Animal Farm, anyone? If not then replace "sanatoria" with Siberia. Or Soviet Union)?

Independents don't collapse and don't think they change from one independent to another.
Actually, an independent city can be flipped over to an independent 2 city, through culture, but I have personally never seen an independent city attack an independent 2 city, but thats just from what I remember. For example a lot of the times, Jerusalem's culture flips Sur to go on their side.
Maybe solution is in your post? In PS. Starts with DAMN and ends with bullets
I also tried that! Give Independence to more than half the cities, organized all the Colonial Armies into Galleons and sail to the Land of the Rising Sun. Throw the Colonial Army against Kyoto... but their city fortify promotions were too good. I think they might have reached Industrial era before the I completed England 2nd UHV anyway.
BTW, that is the fastest tech route for England to reach Industrial and Modern Age?
definitely radio for modern age
industrial is more iffy though - but I usually shoot for steel if just going for the fastest era upgrade possible (not sure about the actual numbers, but I don't like going for scientific method quickly because I usually have monasteries in all of my core cities
)

But you can't reach the modern age without SciMeth
yeah I know - so it makes modern age take a little longer to reach.
However, in my experience, I usually have to rush straight for industrial age, and then I can relax a bit and slow down my pace for modern age. If I were to rush straight for modern age after getting steel, I would get there at least 50 years before anybody else, so I have time to squeeze 1 or 2 important techs in before going for modern age.

My civics has been negative as long as I have paid attention to them. I start wrote down my stability points for each turn for around last 50t. When I first wrote points down civics stability was -26 now they are -35.
My civics are: Universal Suffrage, Free speech, Emancipation, Free Market, Free Religion and Viceroyalty.
I play Romans and it's 1966AD (turn 446). I got over 1000 points lead. Non of my cities (total 17) are in red zone and they are: 2 in Spain, 1 France, 3 Italy, 2 Balkan, 1 Greece, 1 Turkey (Constantinople), 3 Egypt, 1 in land between Egypt and Carthage, 3 Carthage. My borders are deep in red zone in Europe and Africa (and don't know how to void that if you are Romans).
I got 6 vassals: Aztec, Inca, Portugal, Holland, Turkey, Vikings. Aztec is only one who is unstable.
My stability points are: Cities +51, Civics -35, Economy +39, Expansion -54, Foreign -43.
My latest save is attached here too. And I play BtS, latest version (v3.19)
