Ethiopia - Religious or Humanist?

[checro]

So... Started playing with Ethiopia, since it is now Muslim tech and Africa looks reeeealy nice in AoW

What would you get as your first idea? Religious or Humanistic... I got a lot of Sunni provinces, and plan to have even more Also, now there are a lot of culture groups here..

Any help on deciding? (specially since they are both ADM so if I take one, I won't be taking the other one for a long time..)

 

[checro]

Well.. since nobody bothered.. Going with religious...

Hard choice. I had similar problem in 1.7 Venice run. Went with religious for cb. Humanist is nice if you want mare multicultural empire.

I often think humanistic ideas is a better group but I think religous would be more historical and maybe make it more fun in a role-playing perspective for Ethiopia. Anyway you can always take both.

 

[checro]

Yeah, CB is still the reason for Religious, but it is kind of harder to decide in AoW because of no warleader change in any CB....

Depends.

If you can play them well, then Ethiopia is one of the best religious users in the game, no other Coptics around so lots of land to conquer.

I did both the other day, as funny as that sounds. Humanist is just such a crazy strong group for heavy expansion now, but religious is still a very strong group (the CB, the extra missionary, and the missionary strength is all still as nice as always, especially with the extra provinces now, and cheaper stability is better now that coalitions can't be formed by nations who have truces with you, meaning there's more incentive to truce break).

Religious. CB is too good, and lots of weak countries in the neighborhood to use it against.
