Playing Civ 5, just got the expansions and decided to try playing Dom4 Mictlan in Civ 5.
Montezuma religion-based domination run. Spawned next to Uluru which gives a base +6 faith and had my pantheon at like turn 4, for +4 faith on natural wonders. Piety gave me +12 a turn by like turn 15, started my Teotl religion (I have a historical religions mod) and got Holy Warriors for faith-purchasing land units,
and the rest is history.Aggressively expanding my religion for tithe gold and Just War attack bonuses, kept Arabia around cause I didn't want to get too many warmonger penalties early on, but then he founded Islam a couple tiles away from Damascus, which I'd faux-nahualicized to Tamalcan.
So I had to remove kebab. And I did. Took Mecca, renamed it Mexcoco, and used an inquisitor and a missionary on it, eliminating Islam entirely and replacing it with Teotl. Only a couple tiny enclaves in a few cities still have Islam, and Teotl's overwhelmingly dominant on this continent now, which means tons of gold and a 20% attack bonus for my invasions. Now I'm working on stomping out the other civs on my continent. There's still a bunch of people without them, but I don't think anybody except maybe Songhai or Indonesia actually has the sea power to come and do something about it.
