'Civilization 6' news: Player needs a majority religion to ensure Religious victory

(Civilization VI)"Civilization 6" features 5 forms of victory: Score, Religious, Cultural, Science, and Domination.

Today is a great day for "Civilization" fans as the sixth installment finally arrives today. However, even before one can start playing the game, numerous tips on how to play the game successfully have already surfaced online. For instance, if a player wants to ensure his Religious victory, he needs to make sure that the religion he has is embraced by most of the cities featured in the game.

"Civilization 6" offers five different types of victory, namely Score, Religious, Cultural, Science, and Domination. Of all these five, only Religious is the newest feature of the game as the other four have already been previously featured in "Civilization" games.

According to reports, in order to win this newest type of victory, a player needs to ensure that his religion is embraced by, at least, 50 percent of the cities featured in the game. Nonetheless, city-states don't matter except for Jerusalem as its Suzerain bonus, which will automatically converts to the religion a player has chosen.

However, even if a player is not in Jerusalem, he can still ensure the Religious victory by generating a good amount of faith so that he can buy missionaries and apostles who will spread a player's religion to other lands.

A player can also increase his chance of bagging the Religious victory by building Holy Sites. These sites will not only engender faith but will also earn the player some Great Prophet points. A player will also need to include a Shrine and a Temple in his Holy Sites as they enable a player to purchase apostles and missionaries, respectively.

As apostles and missionaries of the player may be used in battles, too, it is best to use a losing apostle/missionary in a Spread Religion feature because, when he loses, a player's Religion victory is downgraded.

A "Civilization 6" player must also be aware that, while it's possible for missionaries to be used in a battle, they are not capable of launching attacks as they can only defend themselves, unlike the apostles. Hence, a player must make sure that he fields enough apostles in leading Inquisitions.

It is also said that Scythia and its leader, Tomyris, are the best ways to start with so that a Religious victory can be ensured because of the Kurgan feature, which allows a player to strengthen his faith at the early part of the game.
