Religious conversion in Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire, c. 1431
Can you tell us how conversions play? Especially do OE and Lith spread their faith all over their lands? (A feature of MMU I find really disturbing.)
Lithuania and the Ottoman Empire have had some success in encouraging conversions. On the whole, it's probably faster than it should be, but there's still a significant chunk of provinces that retain their starting religions.
I'm not really sure what Lithuania usually looks like in MMU in this particular decade, but the Lithuania in my game has experienced significant territorial loss due to rebels and wars. They managed to convert 3 provinces (but later lost one of those in a war).

The Ottomans have been more successful in hanging on to provinces (and gaining new ones!), but less successful in conversions. They have gained 6 new provinces, but only managed to convert two of their wrong-religion territories. As before,

For my own turf, Gibraltar was acquired in 1402, a missionary was sent in August 1426 (with 3.3% annual chance of conversion), it converted to Catholic in October or November 1426, but reverted to Sunni per the MMU conversion procedure—where it takes a minimum of two (if not more) successful conversion attempts. I don't mind telling you that this was the absolute fastest I have ever seen a conversion attempt succeed (just 3-4 months from sending of the missionary!); but I'm sure that was more luck than defect in MMU. Normally in my MMU experience it takes at least a decade or three to convert a province, unless you have a good theologian and province modifiers.
But on the whole I wouldn't mind seeing it slow down a little, especially for the AI who can usually obliterate the original religion in 50-75 years, if it concentrates on it.
