Is there a max on religion?

[IKWILEENKIP]

Is there a maximum amount of % a religion can get at the start of the game when all other religions are low?

I'm so lucky as to have the only succesfull religion, spreading like a rabit, where all others got stuck at one city. I wanted to spread it to my neighboor who has one of those religions with 1% because I don't want a war just yet.

So I send in a misionary but it failed. I did it 2 times more and it kept failing. I admit I reloaded (as it was kinda important) but it failed 3 times again.

Out of curiosity I kept reloading to see if it was a bug. It never worked. I have the different seeds option on so that isn't the problem.

Can some of you experienced folks help me out on this one?

I know that if you try to reload when you lose combat- the same thing happens.

IE unit A defeats B at 20% odds.

"AHHHH" (Reload) Unit A again defeats unit B.

That would continue forever. No matter of Random seed. This may also apply to missionaries.

I don't know about percentage. I know it would be technically feasible to eventually get your religion into every single city on the map, though you'd need to get Open Borders with all the AIs to get missionaries into their territory. If you did that and were able to keep the other religions mostly restricted to their holy cities, who knows; you could probably get the percentage pretty high.

I'm not sure exactly how changeable seeds work. I do know, however, that your religion will fail to spread if the civ you're trying to convert uses the Theocracy civic; in that case, you can only spread their state religion in their cities, nothing else.

How many religions are already in this city you're trying to convert? The more religions already in the city, the worse your missionary's chances.
