This map might actually prefer Itinerant Preachers, as there are quite a few cities in the 11-13 tile range from our capital and from likely targets such as Marrakech and Rome.
Also new in BNW, trade caravans exert religious pressure (which is why Itinerant Preachers tends to be considered obsolete in BNW, although I wouldn't necessarily agree: those caravans might be better employed elsewhere).
What you might want to research is whether those effects can stack (iirc, the answer is no, but I wouldn't bet the farm on my vague recollections
).
