IIRC one of the religions is "City State" so I guess religion is being used to represent political culture.
Is it possible for a faction to change "religion" in the M2TW engine?
It would be magnificently cool if Rome as a faction could go from having city-state culture to Monarchy (or somesuch) to represent the breakdown of the republic. The should stir up a chariot-load of civil strife. The player would have to scurry around knocking down "city-state" fostering buildings and killing off pro-"city-state" agents and FMs and replacing them with monarchic ones: thus modelling the proscriptions.
I wonder if the same could represent the Gracchi? i am unwilling to characterise them as monarchists but they were a threat to the old oligarchy and the battle between the optimates and populares is similar to the republicans vs the monarchists.
