Religious Texts, spread to Venice

[Nelsonius]

If Venice is in your game and you have Religious Texts belief, convert Eric asap. With so many trade routes he will easily spread it for you and with more pressure. I didn't know why I was seeing such high pressures on the other end of the world until I saw his trade routes.

I was playing as the ARABS and I also noticed that RELIGIOUS TEXT compounded with my unique ability of having 50 percent more RELIGIOUS PRESSURE along my trade routes. So the only wonders I built in the ancient-classical eras were Petra and Colossus. This really helped my plan of ISLAMIC DOMINATION by mostly passive sea trade routes alone. I was saving up on faith to get dozen PROPHETS to build HOLY SITES all around MECCA. It was a wide empire and the religious pressure for even small far-flung cities like BENGHAZI was ridiculous with all the pressure bonuses.

Does anyone know if BOMBERS get the ATTACK bonus when BOMBING cities that follow a RELIGION with the "JUST WAR" belief? Does it count THE BASE city the bomber is attacking from, or the TARGET CITY?

I've got a TIP for you. Get the POINT?

One more reason to go into advanced settings and make sure Venice is in the game...

Can't resist:
In my recent game as the Huns, I wanted to see if his +1 hammer on pastures would be of much use in a science game. But, as usual, I had to smack down some jerk trying to take over the world. To take out runaway America, I used a nuclear attack on Jerusalem and another nuke in Philadelphia to destroy his only source of uranium and airforce at the same time. I sent a cavalry to ensure they didn't repair the mine and stole a worker from them. It turns out they, in turn, had stolen it themselves, so I decided to give it back to the Arabs to ensure Harun would renew our DoF. After wiping out the US air force, it was a trivial matter to mop up with bombers and cav to tap out his cities.

One thing I wanted to point out after re-reading this thread for a laugh:

It's not "Eric" Dandolo, it's "Enrico", which is an Italianized version of "Heinrich", which is "Henry" in English.
