I've been playing this game since I was about 11 but I still cringe at the fact that civ's like the Goths or the Vikings have christian monasteries.

We all know Norse raiders had been pagan, before being converted to Christianity, and considering the game is set in medieval europe (the renaissance's not even included - so I guess the imperial age is the 13th century) it was dumb not to give them a germanic temple or similar structure. It sort of sucks to settle in Britain to plunder and have a monastery yourself.

Goths on the other hand were "killed off" as a distinct culture long before that, and are generally renowned for their savagery and bloody religious rites (obviously non-christian).
