Real Numbers Raise Religion's Role
At last! Civ learns from CTP and shakes off the rounding errors that for years meant extra micromanagement and useless buildings.
Now 0.9 science from a Monastry is 0.9 science, and not zero science
Throw in the Uni of Sankora and suddenly state-religion Temples and Monasteries become very attractive builds. This makes a religio-centric strategy more powerful, and the previously-weak Spiral Minaret can get in on this synergy too, making Divine Right a more interesting tech.
So with more Science and Gold available from the religious path, beelining 'through the middle' can leave you less exposed economically than before.
