== Strategy ==
The Old God Obelisk's bonuses allow for some massive strategic advantages when it comes to civilizations which get bonuses from Great Works. Leaders like Menelik II, Mvemba a Nzinga, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and Jadwiga can get great use out of the bonus Great Work slot it provides.
Menelik II can leverage his Council of Ministers ability to get extra and out of these buildings, especially if they contain Relics. This bonus can be blown out of proportion if Menelik's founded religion has the Reliquaries belief. Menelik can also stack the second Voidsinger promotion to get extra and , as well as using the third promotion as a means of gaining easy Relics.
Mvemba a Nzinga can use the Kongolese ability Nkisi to use these extra slots as sources of income, Population growth and for his cities, allowing them to get off their feet faster by moving the Great Works there. While the he gains from these buildings may not exactly be useful to him, there is nothing stopping him from using the as a minor buffer later on with the second Voidsinger promotion, or using it to recruit a Rock Band or Naturalist later on.
Eleanor of Aquitaine also allows for some flexible uses of the building, namely with the usage of her ability Court of Love, allowing her to gain extra slots in her cities to make enemy cities disloyal much faster and without needing to immediately invest into building districts like the Holy Site or a Theater Square. Plus, the ability to put any Great Work into the Old God Obelisk's bonus slot allows you to save a lot of time trying to build a Temple and getting a Relic into it. Even if her ability boosted by this building is not enough, she can eventually get the third Voidsinger promotion to purchase Cultists, making cities disloyal even faster or even causing massive waves of rebellions through clever Great Work placement or Spy and Cultist application.
Lastly, Jadwiga will gain an extra +4 and +2 and from Relics generated by Cultists when they expire, which can easily support either of Poland's main victory paths.
