So I only know of three ways to create relics.
1.) find them in huts
2.) Kandi
3.) martyred apostle.
all three seem to pretty unreliable sources because
1.) I play with huts off. Even if they were on, it's completely luck based, small percentage of huts yield them, and the AI beats you to most of them since they have more units. Furthermore, you can only house 1 of them (except Kongo) until you have temples, and almost all huts are gone by then.
2.) where to start - need to be lucky enough to have the CS in the game, need to find them before finding most of the NW's, need to stop exploring until you gain Suzy status, and even then there's a finite quantity of relics to create.
3.) making a unit for the purpose of losing it is counterproductive. Also, you kill your own religious presence in the area.
However, it seems that killing your own apostles seems to be the most reliable method of getting relics. Often there's a high density of one religion in one part of the world, and a high density of another religion far away in another part of the world. It seems that moving an apostle into the other "gang territory" is the best way to reliably create relics. Right?
