Pyramid 26
Stele 5

One last ditch effort vote for the Stele. It's just such an easy way to get a religion. I'm fine with the Pyramid winning though. It's an awesome building.
 
LOL @ Pyramid winning...

Which building is needed in every city? Right, no one needs the monument; it's shrines we need... :rolleyes:
Some people clearly don't play this game.

Yep, totally wouldn't want to get +2 faith for free in each of your first 4 cities after opening Tradition...I know Science is important, but the Stele indubitably trumps the Pyramid.

So you think the extra faith is the only reason to build a monument?
 
Science is king. I happen to think the super early religion of the Stele is slightly better, but getting +2 science that early in the game, along with getting an awesome religion on the side is pretty amazing too.

Congrats to the pyramid. It's an amazing building.
 
Both are great buildings.
When i was deciding which was best i thought about which building is more vital/imperative.

Stele is absolutely mandatory in every city. Doesn't matter if you hard-build it, buy it, or get it free w/ Tradition. Every city needs one (even those you found late).

Pyramid is a very nice building for getting an early religion going.
Maybe/probably you'll build it before a monument/granary/etc when playing Maya.

But once you've gotten a well established religion going (or have failed to do so), the importance of the Pyramid wanes, and you no longer need to get it built in every city.
Especially later-founded cities it's not all that vital anymore, since again, it's just an awesome shrine, which are not always needed.
Sure, you probably will build it anyway, but i just don't see it as being so vital (since it's not).
