[NFP] Religious Pressure Mechanics

[Francel]

I need a primer on religious pressure. Firstly, what determines how much pressure is being emitted?

do things like number of adherents, faith generation, or presence of holy site buildings matter?

Also, how does religious pressure decay over distance?

practical consideration is whether I should keep Moshka in my holy city, where pressure is presumably highest, or put him on the frontier, closer to cities I wish to convert.

thanks for your help!

I found this on the fandom wiki:

Conversion by Religious Pressure Edit
Each Religion spreads its influence automatically thanks to the natural contacts between people living in nearby cities and sharing their spiritual views. This effect is known as 'Religious pressure'.

Religious pressure values for each city are calculated cumulatively for all other cities with Majority religions within 10 tiles. The following pressures are exerted by those neighboring cities in the following way:

• No pressure if the city does not have a Majority Religion.
• +1 Pressure exerted by the Majority Religion of the city.
• +2 Pressure exerted by the Majority Religion of the city if it also has a Holy Site.
• +4 Pressure exerted by the Majority Religion of the city if it is also the Holy City.
• Potentially affected by modifiers (religious beliefs or Governors)

Further steady religious pressure is exercised by each trade route ending in the city (if its city of origin has a Majority religion, of course). 0.5 pressure is applied per turn by each such route, regardless of how far the origin city is.

No distance degradation.
The pressure accumulates for each religion and a historical total is applied for each.
