If the AI might take Reliquaries it would be worth rushing, but if I know they are going to ignore it, as I suspect, spending the gold would be a waste. If I sit back I should get the fourth/fifth religion from two Holy Sites and Divine Spark, but I have the option to spend a pile of gold to rush the third Prophet. In my current game I have a relic from a hut and was planning to found a religion to get Reliquaries. Not sure I have ever seen some like Religious Community get taken. I feel like they almost always take Warrior Monks, Divine Inspiration and Feed the World as the first three (not necessarily in that order), then sometimes Jesuit Education. Very recently, Civ 6 was free on the Epic Games Store, which means that many new players are currently dipping their. Defender of the Faith: This Belief is more consistent than Crusade but comes with a smaller boost. For example, it sees that it has no pastures yet and thinks God of the Open Sky is worthless because it cannot 'think ahead' and see that it has 3 Cows and 3 Horses that can be hooked up. Crusade: The +10 Combat Strength that comes with this Civilization 6 religion Belief can be very powerful but may be difficult to maintain. Are there any known factors behind the beliefs the AI choses when it found a religion? I read the thread on Pantheons that explains how the AI almost always takes Earth Goddess first but ignores other good pantheons.
