The quickest way to found a pantheon is to either play a Civilization that can do so easily or to explore as much as possible with scouts in the chance that a source of faith is nearby. Indonesia’s Gitarja gains +2 faith if her capital is next to a coast or lake, and Mansa Musa of the Mali gains +1 faith and food in his city centers for every desert tile. However, there are 2 civilizations that can acquire faith thanks to their unique abilities.

In most cases, it’s purely starting position chance that determines how early a Civilization acquires a pantheon. Sometimes ancient ruins provide a helping of faith, around 20 if the player manages to find one. City-states provide +2 of their respective yield to the player’s capital for having one envoy there, so being the first to discover a Religious city-state, which will always net an envoy, will yield +2 faith per turn in the capital. Certain resources, like pearls, or natural wonders, like the Delicate Arch, yield faith that can then be used to found a pantheon quickly, provided the player’s capital has access to them. Much easier methods of obtaining faith are done so through RNG (random number generator). In addition, the Urban Planning policy, +1 production for all cities, is much more useful than God-King when it comes to building in the early game only 1 economic policy can be chosen at a given time for the starting government in most scenarios. Even if this is a guaranteed method, other civilizations may have picked the pantheon the player wanted by now.

Considering it normally takes 15 turns to research the civic and 25 turns to gain enough faith, it may take 40 or so turns to gain a pantheon. The most straightforward way to get faith is to use the God-King policy, unlocked with the first civic, that increases gold and faith by +1 per turn in the capital. 25 faith, an expendable resource akin to currency, does not seem like a lot, but faith can be hard to accrue in the early game.

The game will let the player know when they can pick one, as the icon for doing so appears in the bottom right corner similar to when the player is prompted to choose a new research technology. On standard game speed, players can choose a pantheon once they acquire 25 faith.
