====== Religion ======

//When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator// (Mahatma Ghandi).



Religion is a support engine in the game, that can be unlocked as soon as a shrine and church are built. The shrine auto generates faith at a slower rate than the church, but the church requires a person to operate it in order to generate faith. Up to 100 faith points can be stored.

====== Religions ======

As no prayers survive without a listening God, with some sacrifices all players can devote themselves to a certain religion, unlocking exclusive prayers. Only one religion allowed per time.
