The Televangelist extends the power of the <l:7,3>Theocracy<e> and <l:7,12>Fundamentalism<e> into the <l:6,109>Modern Age<e>. Like the <l:1,11>Cleric<e>, the Televangelist can <l:6,29>convert cities<e>, forcing them to tithe <l:6,92>gold<e> to the player. The Televangelist can also <l:6,31>soothsay<e>, spreading unhappiness, and can <l:6,30>sell indulgences<e>, giving <l:6,96>happiness<e> to enemy cities in exchange for gold. Exercising these abilities, however, is not free. Each time one is used, the Civilization is charged gold. Unlike the Cleric, the Televangelist can only be seen by other <l:6,118>Trade units<e>.
