Proposal: Pilgrims are Foreigners

I propose that:

2.5.1 Conversion

At any time, if there is at least one Temple belonging to a Deitiy in that Pantheon in a given City, that Pantheon has a number of Worshippers in that City, added together from the following types::

  * 50 Settler Worshippers if the Founder Deity is of that Pantheon.
  * 100 Resident Worshippers for every Temple of that Pantheon in that City.
  * 100 Pilgrim Worshippers for every other City which has that Pantheon as its Dominant one.

If a Pantheon has more Worshippers in a City than any other Pantheon, any Deity may change the Dominant Pantheon of that City to become that Pantheon.

be changed to read:

2.5.1 Conversion

At any time, if there is at least one Temple belonging to a Deitiy in that Pantheon in a given City, that Pantheon has a number of Worshippers in that City, added together from the following types::

  * 50 Settler Worshippers if the Founder Deity is of that Pantheon.
  * 100 Resident Worshippers for every Temple of that Pantheon in that City.
  * Between 0 and 100 Pilgrim Worshippers for every other City which has that Pantheon as its Dominant one, so long as the number of Pilgrim Worshippers not exceed the number of Worshippers to the Dominant Pantheon of the city in question.

If a Pantheon has more Worshippers in a City than any other Pantheon, any Deity may change the Dominant Pantheon of that City to become that Pantheon.

This allows for the takeover of cities by a Deity with a large number of temples in the City, but does not allow for Deities with many Dominated Cities to take over Cities with very few Temples. The wording is subject to approval, obviously, but it just doesn’t seem fair that cities with one Temple (i.e. Gwynedd) should be devoted to a Pantheon just because that Pantheon is popular elsewhere. Or maybe the Deities who found Cities which are taken over by Deities of other Pantheons should just be required to re-Incarnate as a Deity of the new Dominant Pantheon…?

against
i’d like to withdraw this pending futher consideration. this doesn’t really fix the problem i wanted to fix, and also makes things unnecessarily complicated.
