Up to two Apostles may be expended to add one additional Belief each they must have at least three charges (the base starting number) left to do so.Īn Apostle with at least three remaining charges may also be expended to unlock the purchase of Inquisitors with Faith. The total number of Great Prophets is half the number of Civilizations, rounded up.Īrabia will automatically receive the last Great Prophet when the next-to-last-one is claimed, if they have not claimed one already. Note that the number of Great Prophets is limited, so not every Civilization may be allowed to found a religion. This allows the selection of a Follower Belief, plus one other Belief of another category.

Pantheons are tied to Civilizations rather than Religions-all cities owned by a Civilization automatically have that Civilization's Pantheon.Īcquiring a Great Prophet allows a Civilization to found a Religion at a Holy Site district or the Stonehenge Wonder (which grants a Great Prophet for free). This allows the selection of a Pantheon Belief. A Religion may only have up to one Belief of any category.Īccumulating 25 Faith (on Normal speed) allows a Civilization to found a Pantheon-a sort of proto-Religion.Once a Belief is chosen, it cannot be chosen again by any Religion.As a Pantheon/Religion progresses, it also acquires Beliefs-bonuses granted by that Religion.
