The multiplayer community has now told players for 2+ Jears that that Abstain from Intoxicants is by far the strongest religion tenent.

It gives the following documented bonuses:

+2Industry on Forest

+2Industry on Woodland

+2Industry on Religious District

Now i ran some statistics on MP games to compare it to other Tenents on random map generations, and while i expected it to be on the top, i did not expect it to outperform every other T1 Tenent by 2x.

Now don't get me wrong, the bonus is strong, but that broke my expectations. A +2 bonus to forest and woodland should not outperform Egypt's +1 bonus on most map, but it did. Thats when i started counting tile by tile, and discovered that it has a 4. Bonus:

Abstain makes most districts exploit forests 

Once i confirmed that even farms exploited forests once abstain is picked, i started to understand why the multiplayer community has now told players for 2+ Years that that Abstain from Intoxicants is by far the strongest religion tenent.

Not because the +2 but because it's undocumented overpowered effect.

That also explains why Harabstain dominated MP for two Years. Harrapans reach 25 population first because of the food bonus, then get a huge amount of production because of the undocumented effect.
