Religion


Your people will want a certain Religion. If your national religion is not the same as your people’s desired religion then your nation’s population happiness will be negatively affected. On the other hand, giving your people the religion they want will give a +1 happiness bonus which will boost your income. Therefore, make sure to always set the religion desired by your population.

Your people give you clues as to which Religion they want. Below is a list of the clues and the matching Religions. Simply find the sentence that matches the one in the religion section of your nation view screen, go to Edit My Nation and select the corresponding Religion as indicated below.
If you select the correct religion you will see a message saying “Your people are pleased with this national religion.”

Make sure you have no doubts about the religion you are selecting because you can only change your national religion once every 3 days and if select the wrong religion your income will be negatively affected for those 3 days until you can change again (if you select the wrong religion it is recommended that you wait out those 3 days without collecting and only collect once you have set the right religion thus avoiding income loss).
