Thank you, I founded Shinto and got my desert faith.

Incidentally, does wiping out Buddhism then mean another can be founded as well?

Nope. You're not really wiping out Buddhism unless you convert all the Buddhist cities as well.

No. The maximum number of religions is set at the beginning of the game (based on map size, not number of AI civs) and once a religion is founded it takes one of the available religion slots. Once all of the slots are taken, no more religions can be founded. Killing off a religion during the game does not open up a slot for another religion.

How do you add custom music to the game? I put mp3 files in Europe's peace music folder; is that enough?

No. That got patched out. I posted some screenshots in another thread showing that.

Adding just the mp3 in a music folder won't do anything. You need to go to .../Sid Meier's Civilization V/Assets/Sounds/XML.

IMPORTANT: BACKUP THE FILES YOU ARE GOING TO MOD OR ELSE JUST COPY AND PASTE THOSE FILES INTO A FOLDER OR WHEREVER YOU LIKE AND THEN YOU CAN EDIT THEM AND PUT THEM INTO THE MODS FOLDER AT .../Documents/My Games/Sid Meier's Civilization V/MODS

Scroll down until you find EuropeAudioDefines.xml. Open it and scroll down until you see the following:

		<SoundData>
			<SoundID>SND_EUROPE_PEACE_27</SoundID>
			<Filename>Lacrimae</Filename>
			<LoadType>STREAMED</LoadType>
		</SoundData>
		<!--
			EUROPE War Music
		-->

After </SoundData>, hit enter and add this:

		<SoundData>
			<SoundID>YOUR_ID</SoundID>
			<Filename>Your_Filename</Filename>
			<LoadType>STREAMED</LoadType>
		</SoundData>

Replace YOUR_ID and Your_Filename to your chosen name. Next, we need to make sure that the game identifies what the hell the ID file is. Open up AudioDefines.xml in the same folder and copy and paste your SoundData. Make sure you enter after </SoundData> and indent exactly like it is (though I don't think this is necessary). Save your files and restart CiV (if it's on). You may hear your music; you may not. The songs are randomly generated ingame. You would have to play a European civ and be at peace in order for you to hear the music you put into the European Peace folder and the XMLs

Is Nikola Tesla still available as a great scientist? I remember seeing him once in vanilla Civ V with his name spelt wrong, and I haven't seen him since .

Yes, I've seen him fairly recently.

I am considering purchasing Civilization V's Gold Edition. I know it comes with Steam. However: beyond activating the game, do I need an online connection for daily playing? That is, if I hooked my gaming rig to my DSL connection, and activated the game, would I thereafter be able to play it offline, unless I needed to activate a new expansion?

Steam has an offline mode, I have played Civ V offline

*snip

Safe. Since you have Vanilla, make sure you only download Vanilla mods and not mods that requires a certain DLC or Expansion
