What religion do you usualy use?

[Civfan333]

nobody ever gets all the religions first, it kinda sucks eh

Unbelievably, I actually one time got all the religions!!!! Of course, I was fooling around on settler at the time.

 

[m4gill4]

I like Judaism if I can get it fast enough, but I just as often wind up with Confucianism from the Oracle

 

[The Conquerer22]

again what does this, religions poll have to do with stories and tales, shouldnt it be in general discussions

 

[god of crows45]

i usually choose Islam, cause it fits with my state property, organised religion, slavery, and police state civics

 

[The Conquerer22]

someone please tell me what this has to do with stories and tales

If she is in, I go with whatever religion Isabella has. She can become a pain in the butt otherwise. Same goes for the Arabs and the Turks. If I found my own religion, its either Christianity or Islam, cause they come with good wonders. I'm a shameless wonder-whore if given the chance.

I usually strive for Christianity, but that's because I'm Christian. However, if my citezens want something else, I'll give it to them. Or, if the rest of the International Community is mostly one religion, I'll switch that way.

 

[KaiserElectric]

I usually use confucianism because I can never found the earlier religions before the civs with mysticism at the start do

Spoiler :

However, I always get so far ahead in techs that I ALWAYS found Islam.

I try to found as many religions as I can, not only because of the unity, but for the money bonus the Holy Shrine gives (+1 gold for each city with the religion), then I try to expand the religions to every city. My state religion is always the first religion I get (Hinduism or Judaism, depending on the starting techs of my civ) and then I expand it. Other thing I like to do is to war against civs that have the other religions, making the Holy Cities a main objective of the war. Right now, in a Rise of Mankind game I'm playing as the Ottomans, I've founded Hinduism (my state religion), Judaism, Islamism and Confuncianism. Hinduism is the state religion of the other three empires in my continent (Arabia and Portugal are my vassals, Carthago isn't). I defeated Babylonia after a long war because they decided to get Judaism as the State Religion. Hittites were on a small island south of Portugal in my continent and had founded Buddhism, so I sent my army and navy and beat them after other long war. In the other continent, there are 12 civs, all of which follow Christianism (they make up 56% of followers in the world!) with some pockets of Taoism, both of which were founded by Isabella of Spain. I have a really great army from the Hittite wars, and I plan to expand it even more. For that, I'll have to make a good assortment of Galleons (I don't have Transports yet, but I am winning the Science Race, so I am better than Isa) and then I'll strike hard on her only two coastal cities, going after that directly for the Christianity Holy City (Barcelona) and then the capital (Madrid) and, for sentimentalism, Granada (is where I live in the real world). If I somehow manage not to bring the ire of the other 11 civs (three of who are Pleased with me, two are between Annoyed and Cautious (I don't remember which one is this) and the other are on Cautious, including Isabella), I'll end having Spain as part of my Empire and I'll end filthy rich (well, I'm already filthy rich, but I'll end even more filthy rich ). And then I'll bring war to the only guy in my continent who hasn't kneeled down in front of me (Carthago) so that I can control the whole continent (my vassals will end being under my control when they decide to stop being my vassals) and then I'll hunt down all the countries in the other continent one by one, leaving Netherlands, France and the Vikings for last.

Confucisism and sometimes Budaism because it's on the way to a CS slingslot then I usually bulb theology to get Christianity just for kicks

 

[darklordchuckle]

Well, the war is finished. I had to raze a pair of cities so that all the other cities had access to the maximum squares allowed, but no problem. Somehow, the end of the war against Isabella has brought up a rather curious consequence: four (FOUR!!!) empires (Indian, Incan, French and Malinese) asked me if they could be my vassals! Something I couldn't understand, perhaps they realised that the might of the Ottomans was too great! Anyway, my plans to defeat Hannibal have been thrown to the dustbin, so now I'm going to beat the crap out of the most hateful of the CivIV leaders: Monty (not Burns, but the Aztec one! ). Considering that I have 4 allies in the same continent and he is already warring against Darius, it should be a good war, especially considering that I already have Airships and enough Cavalries, Riflemans and Granadiers to put three of them in every city in the whole continent! Well, I hope to tell you about Monty's complete destruction in a few days. Bye!

P.D: I know this doesn't have anything to do with the religions, but, well, I got inspired, and, you know...

Same as Sisiutil and Eatomhoch - Confucianism - because it's the first one I usually found, and because I am always rushing to get Code of Laws in order to build courthouses and relieve pressure on my finances.

If I'm playing on the easy setting and have a Spiritual leader I would get them all so in my last (Korean) game I was Hindu and decided to keep going with Organised Religion to get the most out of Spiral Minarets and the shrines; but I was building a huge warchest, pursuing juche (the Korean system of self-reliance that has crippled North Korea) and purposely going all out for a complete conquest victory - I would have got it too if I had turned Domination off, but I played on until I was the only culture left standing because we were all on the same relatively small island so it was easy.

 

[sidmeierfan121]

i usually use whatever religion i get whether i founded it or it just spread in one of my cities

 

[Commodore Nate]

I usually found Confucianism, just because it's with CoL, which I usually try to slingshot.

 

[WhiteEagle22]

I tend to go with no state religion, or else Buddhism or Hinduism. No state is the best though IMHO.

I choose Confucisism so that I can build the kong miao and get more income
