Spain was in a backward corner of that continent too, I was lucky with the religious start up and converted... well everything. So all his towns are now my religion, including his capital/holy site. 15 turns later I get 4 prophets in my territory..... granted I screwed her over as well with religion but 4 was a bit much to handle without declaring war. took me quite some time to recover from her spammage. edit : I know of the option in piety and religion but 4 was way more than she should have been able to buy. (wasn't because of Hagia Sophia either, wasn't finished yet in the world) | ||

Autocracy is so powerful, omg. I like it way more than either Freedom or Order for any empire bigger than about 6 cities. | ||
