Religion pressure

[Torodeboro]

How does the pressure from your cities to other cities work? What does 30 pressure mean exactly and what's the role of distance between your cities? Finally is there a way you can calculate how fast cities will be converted (get an extra follower)?

Each city with a religion exerts pressure on all cities within ten tiles (13 with Itinerant Preachers enhancer belief) based on game speed. I believe it is 6 pressure per turn on standard. Holy cities also exert pressure on themselves for their founding religion. That I believe is 30 pressure per turn on standard. It takes 100 pressure to convert one citizen. There is another enhancer belief, Religious Texts, that spreads religion 34% faster (68% with Printing Press). So if you are the only one with a religion without Religious texts, you should convert a citizen to your religion in four turns. Then the next ones should be a little faster if the pressure over the 100 rolls over. It will take 17 turns for a citizen to convert in a city close enough to the holy city if no other nearby cities have a religion without Religious Texts.
