Master the Art of Founding and Spreading Your Own Religion in Civilization
During the Exploration Age, players can establish their own religion by researching the Piety civic and constructing a Temple in their settlements. Founding a religion allows players to choose one Reliquary Belief and one Founder Belief, enhancing their gameplay experience.
To spread your newfound religion, you can train Missionaries in any settlement that has a Temple. Missionary units are equipped with “Spread Religion” charges and can be deployed to convert other settlements to your faith. Simply transport them to a targeted settlement to initiate the conversion process.
Important Note 1: Missionaries can also be recruited from settlements that currently lack religion or have been converted by rival civilizations, provided there is a Temple in the settlement. For instance, you can strategically establish a settlement near an opponent, construct a Temple using gold, and then mobilize Missionaries to start the conversion of enemy territories.
Important Note 2: The success of converting a settlement’s population is influenced by the location where the “Spread Religion” action is executed. Large cities, for example, have distinct urban and rural populations. To fully convert a city, it’s essential to apply the action within both an urbanized district and a rural area, such as a mine or a farm.
