Since when have missionary converted an entire civilization without Conquistadors or a decision by the ruler? Other games (Call to Power?) have had missionaries that would approach cities and try to convert you at their own risk. But I love the mod anyway.
Its 850AD and several European civilizations have moved in on my South America, but still no sign of the Spanish. Perhaps they are programmed to attack Mexico. I was prepared to kick the Europeans off the continent ASAP, but the Portuguese are friendly with me and busy fighting it out with the weaker Romans and Egyptians. So, Ive got an Army that I dont know what to do with. I could take the Portuguese colonies and later incur their wrath or I could move north and take Central America from the Mayans. I may need the Mayans as allies against the Spanish so maybe I should sit tight and wait for the Spanish.
Ya know, the Spanish are just another Civ in RoCX. They're not programmed to attack anybody. In fact, in my North/South American games, they were pretty weak, and barely got in a few cities in Africa/ South America. It's not a game requirement that Europe pwns South America; once, as Inca, I had taken most of the continent by the time the Euros arrived, and I repelled them/stole their colonies effectively! By the way, being half-Hispanic, I should try the Aztecs some time. Now I want to give Spain hell, lol!
Also, the religions were picked based on what that culture eventually turned to, one way or another. (Even though Japan has traditionally remained more Shinto, and India more Hindu, the modern religion Buddhism is more gameplay effective, giving both countries the oppurtunity to compete with the other Buddhist nations for the Potala Palace, along with the ability to build Asian "cathedrals.") It could be true that in your game- not necessarily a mirror of the real world- Spain was a minor player in your history, and Christianity was introuduced peacefully and popularly in your culture.
You can always go in the editor and change the religions associated with a Civ. To do this, go to the Civilizations tab in the Rules Editor, and change the third Free Tech to whichever modern religion you like. (Note that there are two of each religion in the pull down menu, I'm not sure why. Every Civ has the top one selected, so make sure to do the same.)
Again, the game was balanced
extensively (currently RoC v2.69, RoCX v1.23) the way it is, and changing it in a major way could affect the gameplay a lot, but feel free to tweak it so long as the name remains the same!
Hope I was of some help!
¡Vaya con dios! ¡Destruye los conquistadores!
