You can raze a holy city. The effect on spread is the same as any city

what did you mean by this? religion continues spreading as usual? is there another holy city for that religion assigned (akin to capital when the original one is razed?) does it make additional diplo hit with believers who you are not in war with?

[Solver]

Actually, as far as I understand the system, that religion should spread slower if you raze te holy city.

Thanks, Mark.

At the bottom of the religion screenie, it says "Cannot convert to Buddhism because of recent Revolution: wait 5 more turns." Please explain?!

Also:

Bombers can bombard cities or attack units on the fields (attacking a stack brings collateral damage to all the units on the tile).

Can bombers destroy city improvements? Can they choose what improvements to destroy (like precision bombing in Civ3)?

Thanks!!!

[Solver]

I had just switched civics before taking that religion screenshot - you can't change civics/switch religions every turn, there's a pause.

Bombers don't destroy city improvements.

Thanks Markos! Impressive work you and Solver has done the last days, answering most of the questions from us high demanding jerks.

[Lorizael]

Bah. They enjoy holding the game over our heads.

Seriously, though, Markos and Solver rock.

So... you change civics/religion, you experience 1 turn of anarchy (unless you have the Spiritual trait), and you can't make any more changes for 5 turns? When you change civics/religion, can you make multiple changes at once, or one at a time? Does anarchy last longer if you change multiple civics?

Bombers don't destroy city improvements.

One more thing on my list of things to mod...

I've seen Replay Screen shots where multiple civics were changed by the same leader in the same year.

can you make multiple changes at once

yes
