Secondary religion city viewing

[petey]

In the manual, it states quite clearly that "If you control the holy city for a religion, you can see what's going on in any city with that religion, as well as all spaces that city can see." (pg 80)

In the game I'm playing now, I have both Hinduism (state religion) and Judaism (secondary religion). I have the shrine built for both of them and while they're both giving 1 gold for each of the cities they're spread to, I can see what's going on in AI cities with Hinduism, but cannot see what's going on in AI cities with just Judaism.

Is this a bug in the code or is the manual wrong about the effects of holy cities, or is there something else going on?

I think its just the "state" religion

It is just the state religion. But that means that either the game or the manual is wrong and I'm curious which one.

Hmmm - I see your point!

I think both holding the holy city AND adopting as state religion is the best balance for gameplay

Personally, I have not yet totally sussed out the point of religion (in game)

It's only your state religion - the manual is wrong, possibly due to the feature having been tweaked after it was sent for publishing, but to be honest the manual's pretty crappy anyway - why is every noun in "inverted commas"?
