yr doing it wrong! think of the missionaries as infiltrating viruses. who cares WHAT religion you use, that much is pointless, but as long as you give enemy territories yr particular brand (and they are ALL enemy territories), it makes keeping the populace pacified once you move in with the troops.
not having to worry about putting down rebelion makes it easier to focus assests on taking over new territory.
NEVER accept a request to convert unless you never plan to take over who's asking (and as I always play Aztec, I always do plan for such).
and as I mentioned, the best reason to research religion is so that the other player(s) don't have access the same type of mind-altering! you don't depend on one, you gobble them ALL up and use them at will.
for me, religion is just a means to an end. and by end, I mean, H-BOMBS MOTHERFUCKER.
ps: god I wish that play by email function worked. we might still be playing that same game. and by now, being the CIVilized folk that we are, you and I would have surely formed a pack to take down that savage, jico..
