If you go that way about Inquisition, I could complain about Ensemble Studios making a campaign where my ancestors get murdered by Spaniards :roll: :roll:
It's history, to paraphrase, "Those who ignore history, are bound to repeat it"
You cannot change history by not using certain words.

I'm Spanish and I'm not offended because the name of our new UT. Although it is not so historically accurate.
Ok, our Inquisition was hard and fanatical, but not worse than inquisition in other European countries. But Spanish was the most important nation for a good while, USA is the most important currently and probably China and India will be the next. So other countries speak bad about us, now about USA and in the futute about their successors. Most accusations are true, but told but nations that are similar but less powerful.
Hispanoamerican Conquest is a bad example about inquisition. Ok, some American Indians wer killed or enslaved by Spaniards, but not by religious reasons. In fact some Spanish missionaries like Bartolome de las Casas wanted fought for Indian rights.
And the thing which killed most American Indians wasn't our violence, it was smallpox. More, Spanish conquerors were less racist than others, at least they were able to get married with Indian women while conquerors from other countries considered such marriages a dirty thing.
As for the original question: the tech is most likely to be seen on Arena games and if you're a Spanish pocket and you wonna go a wee bit crazy with missionaries
I did some tests, Monk converting Scout Cavalry.I tested Inquisition quite a lot and i couldn't see any effect. It is difficult to prove as there is a strong random factor in unit conversion. But after thorough testing with many conversion attempts I'm quite sure it does nothing at all, neither on Monks nor on Missionaries. Would be happy if s.o. could prove me wrong.
Hmmm, the thing about the UT in a Monk rush is that it's a monk rush that first needs a castle built before (or I'll assume DURING) the process. That means you need to put villager time on stone and building the castle and take it away from the gold you need to flood more monks... so I guess it's a great bonus, but not one your MUSH will start with.
