Not saying I'm
proof, but wheat is being worked by the cap....suppose divinity can take it back now that granary was finished.Looking further: I had forgotten that the game Thawk linked to was no-desert-foklore, so perhaps wide spread is possible without huge spending. Although since we are not OCC'ing there is some faith overhead (or wait gazillion turns) to spread to our own cities as well; although it does little for us now.
Perhaps we use the 300 faith prophet and the HS prophet for squelch spread, save the Piety finisher prophet for enhancing. For enhancement, we could take a passive spread enhancer belief. The other one might be +1 food shrines/temples, or +2 happy from temples since we plan to build a lot? Those are nice but not crucial. Not sure if a prophet for passive spread enhancer is better than a squelcher prophet.
with the no upgrade restriction, I wouldn't think we really want to go offensive until fairly late, at least musket/cannon era? So perhaps some missionary buys make sense also.
"Religion improvement" is the GP tile improvement. It's +6 faith, also +3 gold and +3 culture with all the piety policies. If we think we can get mileage out of Pilgramage we probably use prophets for squelching instead.
So I do think wide spread is worth trying, which means theology next religion.
Back closer in:
OK with silver buy. We might want to extend Ragusa alliance but still have 14 turns. Can anyone confirm Icha's claim that buying portugese embassy fulfills that quest?
