State religion is irrelevant unless you want to win by AP victory yourself. It means one civilization cannot have >= 60% or 75% of the world's population of that faith. A one-religion city contributes all of its (in-game, as in number of citizens) population to its faith, a two-religion city would contribute half and half, and an atheist city would contribute nothing.

We can also block a religious victory by ensuring we don't get a spread from the AP religion. To block free spreads we need to spread OUR religion to all our own cities starting basically now. We can't block a confu AP victory this way because we already have one confu city.

yeah, I think its too lte for that. its pretty unlikely civ players would build a Christian AP when they have confuscianism spread already.

CivPlayers is currently Buddhist, right?

4) Thru diplo and free missionaries (even if they aren't Hindu) ensure that the AP religion doesn't get adopted by other nations. AP victory is impossible if more than 60% (I think) of the religion's followers live in the host nation.

I don't think this is the case. I remember an old cheese tactic used in SP is to basically gerrymander the vote so that while absolutely everyone has the religion, but you personally control a majority of it.

Yeah they patched that.

You have the voting for Apostolic Palace Leader (Pope) and AP diplo victory wrong.

• You get x votes for each city (x = citizen size of city) that has the religion in question if your state religion is NOT the AP religion (or you are in no religion)
  
• You get 2x votes for each city that has the religion in question if your state religion is the AP religion
  
• For AP diplo victory - everyone must have a vote (ie have at least one city with the AP religion in it)
  
• You need 40% of the votes (rounded down) to be elected Pope - if two candidates both score over 40%, highest number of votes is Pope
  
• You need 75% of the votes (rounded down) for AP Diplo victory
  
• You cannot vote yourself the winner (ie if you control over 75% of the vote, the vote is cancelled)

Okay, I guess State Religion is relevant (to a degree) then.

Ah, so the SP strategy was to gerrymander it so people who liked you got a ton of votes while those that didn't also didn't get much representation.
