So if we started with the wheel (and could build roads) and will have agriculture next then the first worker we make would have had two different things to work on. I really see no rush to get mining here. Sure, we want to know where the resources are for settling. So how many settlers do we have right now?
Each religion can be founded by only one civ. There are benefits to fouding more than one religion. Are we planning on duplcating the last fiasco by ingoring religion once more?

Make a better convincing argument on why we should research Mysticism instead of using criticism that happened in the old game.

Ummm, how about we need a religion? Why peg all our hopes on getting one through the Oracle? Also...
Try to read more than just the last sentence of my posts.
The early religions, like Buddhism and Hinduism, aren't important enough IMO to even bother going for them. This is only prince difficulty so we should have no problem getting to CoL first.
We don't need the early religions with as many :happy: resources as we do.
Edit: Whoops, sorry, I just noticed I said the same thing the page before. My mistake.

Excuse me for coming from a section of the forums (Off topic) that you have to make a precise and detailed argument to make one's point.
Plus, your statement in your last sentence does not tell me what benefits one gets when founding a religion, especially playing in this difficulty level where religion races are more common in higher difficulty levels
Right now I don't see the huge important need a religion immediately. We can get to Mysticism and Meditation. I dont see whats the rush to be the first kid in the block to found a religion.
Religion can be very nice to have, especially if your the founder. If you use a Great Prophet to build the unique temple for that religion, you gain +1 
for every city your religion has influence. Spamming missionaries can earn great income. You also gain line of sight to every city that is influenced by your religion, so its great for preparing for an invasion.
While the above is all well and good, I still do not believe we need to shoot for the early religions.

Wait till we have a settler, then we don't have the resources scouted out to place it properly, want to wait for that once we've got one, now we've got a settler sitting idle while we wait. Want to go ahead and settle without knowing where the resources are, fine, say that. Same sort of chicken and the egg argument as workers.
I have not been convinced of the need to rush to a Religion now, I'm with Methos that we can go for Confucianism, Judaism or Christianity once we've got a good base.
You don't need to found it, you need to control the holy city. We're Khan after all
Whoops, my mistake.

We could have gome for a religion now and still got the needed worker and resource techs in time to use them. As I said earlier we get only one chance to found a religion. And, yes, all you need to do is control the holy city but the holy cities could be quite far even for a Mongol horde.
EDIT: Please note that this is a plurality decision.
It's also quite moot since we've already finished the tech chosen by this poll. There is another discussion thread open for the next tech.
