Religions at random

I was wondering, as at present religions are given to the first player to discover them, which means often one player gets all three ancient religions, is it possible to set it so tha there is only a chance you found the religion when you discover the tech. If the value was quite low, say 25% or lower, then on small maps not every religion would be founded and it also means you could have multiple religions attaced to one tech so when you discover polytheism you could found hinduism, greek polytheism, both or neither.

That is a great way to solve the problems of too many religons and always having hinduism and buddism as the main religons.

I am not sure you will be able to make the AI understand the whole percentage thing. They would always rush for buddism and then when they didn't get a religon it might mess with them.

I would really LOVE to see this happen though it solves two problems at once!

Remove all religions from techs and give them with python. You might want to adjust the AI weight for the religion giving techs so they know they're more important than they look.

If you have a game where 10 AIs all rush for buddhism only one get it. Doesn't even have to be an AI. The rest are not messed up, so why would this suddently mess them up? You might want to make small adjustments to how the AI values things, but it won't break anything.
