Faith is a technology in Age of Empires II that can be researched at the Monastery once the Imperial Age is reached. Once researched, it increases the resistance of all units against conversion by raising the minimum time needed for a conversion by two seconds, and the maximum time by about four seconds. The chance that a Monk has per second to complete the conversion is also lowered by 67% (which increases the average conversion time). It is not only the most expensive technology in the Monastery, but also the only religious technology to cost not only gold, but also food.
Faith is available to all civilizations except for the Khmer, Magyars, and Slavs.

History
Civilizations can conflict ideologically, as well as militarily and economically. When the Christian Crusaders invaded the Holy Lands, for example, they encountered the ideas of Islam, as well as new weapons, tactics, and desirable goods.
