I'm a bit confused as to how I should interpret religious pressure from caravans.
As I understand, establishing this trade route will net Venice 1 Gold and 4 Science while I recive 6 Gold. But what of the 12 pressure? It's pointing towards my city. Does this mean that I'm preassuring Venice or beeing pressured? Venice is a Holy City in this game if that matters in any way
Best Answer
The pressure is towards your city.
Normally religion pressure is only exerted to a certain range around any particular city. Venice being a religion-founding holy city doesn't change that range. Trade routes bypass this range limit mechanic, and the cities will be considered in range once connected by a trade route. So presumably by this, Venice is out of range to pressure you normally, but setting up a caravan will allow their religion to spread your way.
