Barely got time to check out the expansion due to Diablo 3, but during the maintenance period last night, I started up a new game and wow, quite a different experience. Rolled random and got USA as my civilisation. Started a religion called Americana and basically started spreading religion before conquering lands.
Stacking the bonuses from religion with the other base bonuses is insane. I focused on industrial speed and my cities basically spit out units/buildings like candy. Also used religion to manipulate the other civilisations into becoming more accepting of my presence while I go slaughter the remaining heretics.
Hehe.
