Religious civics other than Org Rel--how useful?

[ChuckDizzle]

Environmentalism has a purpose, that of boosting your population in the end, when your city growth is usually blocked by health, not happiness. It is just so much weaker than state property in most cases that noone thinks of using it, except maybe for milking purposes.

Environmentalism really shines in a OCC, where you're usually strapped for health resources. Also, since you only have one city, the upkeep is negligible.

I hope you won despite the maintanance you were paying on those missionaries.

Right. Don't they cost 3gpt, like Great People?

2 or 3gpt I think, the fairly pathetic Civilopedia doesn't say and I can't find the guidebook. Great People require upkeep? That's a kick in the pants, no more waiting for three to trigger a golden age!

By the way, Free Religion is a great civic, it greatly reduces hostility from other civs.
