== Strategy ==
Mont St. Michel is a potentially powerful but niche wonder, and the only method of stable Relic generation unless Yerevan is in the game. On paper, Mont St. Michel combined with the Reliquaries belief is a sound strategy, but it has two major problems:
* You have to pick Reliquaries as your Follower belief, yet have no way to gain Relics reliably until the late Medieval Era.
* The Enlightenment civic is unlocked in the late Renaissance Era, only one era afterward, effectively halving any Religious effects. This means the power of Relics doesn't sustain for long, and you cannot reverse this unless you have Cristo Redentor, which is unlocked in the Modern Era.
There are two civilizations that have extra bonuses for Relics: the Kongolese and the Polish (courtesy of Jadwiga). Kongo, however, will have an easier time utilizing this wonder under Nzinga Mbande, since Mvemba a Nzinga's leader ability prevents them from producing Apostles reliably.
If you find yourself in possession of many Temples and St. Basil's Cathedral (as can happen when playing Russia, for example), you may want to build Mont St. Michel simply to help fill the overwhelming number of empty Relic slots. Even without the Reliquaries belief, gaining a Relic for one Apostle's death outweighs the increased cost of purchasing your next Apostle, meaning that losing an Apostle in theological combat can be changed from a drain to a gain. The loss of Religious Pressure each time an Apostle dies, however, will impede your progress toward a Religious Victory, so remember to pick up Monastic Isolation if you're aiming for this kind of victory.
Mont St. Michel can also help a civilization pivot from a heavy investment in a Religious Victory to a Cultural Victory: if winning a Religious Victory is becoming impractical, building this wonder in the face of a large loss of Apostles can turn a devastating loss of resources into a net gain, while also helping you transition to another victory strategy.
Unlike Forts and similar defensive tile improvements, Mont St. Michel provides a +6 Defense Strength bonus to occupying units to offset the -2 Defense Strength penalty imposed by Floodplains and Marshes.
