In practical terms, how does religion "matter" in CIV3? Does anyone know how it works?

I think they skipped religion. Culture is the closest feature I know about.Creator of the Civ3MultiTool -
Really? So religion does nothing except add to culture?
Do you think Firaxis completely overlooked it?Of the Holy Roman Empire, this was once said:

Well, you can still research Polytheism and Monotheism and you can build Temples, Cathedrals, etc. but we don't think there will be anything more on religion than there was in Civ II."Proletarier aller Länder, vereinigt euch!" -- Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels

As far as I know you can't set any religion of your civ, and your citizens don't develop a religion, the only thing I know that is religion-related is the improvements (that boost culture and make people happy)Last edited by Gramphos; October 7, 2001, 13:41.Creator of the Civ3MultiToolComment

Religion is also in the game as a civ-specific ability such as commercial and militaristic.Comment

I thought that CIVs would have a certain religion and that it could cause tensions if you were of a different religion. Did I read that somewhere, or am I just dreaming in Technicolor?Of the Holy Roman Empire, this was once said:

I believe that was a suggestion, but it couldn't be implemented with real religions as many of them deny other religions and would get angry on Firaxis and crashed an airplane in their office.Originally posted by Jason Beaudoin

And no more Civ
And I guess it would take to long to develop a religion system that grew within your cities and just allow you to set what city's religion to use or if you would allow any religion.Creator of the Civ3MultiToolComment

Actually, this is the function of culture. If there are citizens of a different culture in one of your cities, then those citizens either have decreased or zero productivity. You can perform minor ethnic cleansing by building settlers and workers, though.Originally posted by Jason Beaudoin

It was a good choice by firaxis to put religion under culture rather than as a separate thing.Comment

Maybe you're right, but it would be nice if wars would be ignited because of religion. Nothing could be more realistic.It was a good choice by firaxis to put religion under culture rather than as a separate thing.
Picture some religious CIV demanding that you switch over to their religion or face the rath of God and their army.
I'd love that kind of realism.

If you want to see a development team that's experimenting with the idea of adding religeon to a 4x game (thus making it a 5x game, they say), go check out Master of Orion 3! The game looks very experemental, but if they manage to balance it (and they did a crappy job of that in MOO2... creativity anyone?), it should be good.

Religious civilisations don't have periods of anarchy between goverments and Firaxis recommend them for diplomacy minded players. (source: CIV-SPECIFIC ABILITIES By Dan Magaha).

Why would religion be good for diplomacy? Did you hear of any reason why?Of the Holy Roman Empire, this was once said:

I believe that it is good for Diplomacy as it helps you build a strong culture which will help you get better deals.Creator of the Civ3MultiToolComment
