I don't know what is going on, and it is scaring me. I am sunni, with mutapa as my sunni vassal. I can't find the province "Oromia" described in the event (is it a region? where?). What are the consequences of this?




edit: Apparently this region is Oromia. Eh, I don't want to be animist.

That's an Ethiopian flavour event, which it looks like you're getting because you gobbled up Ethiopia.

To see exactly what provinces are affected, go to the "Region Map Mode" from the bottom-right and check for Oromia, if there isn't a province by that name in the Ethiopian area.

It appears that it isn't going to do anything but cause unrest, correct? It says "animist will become religion of ." which is blank... The whole region is currently sunni, somali, and 0% autonomy so I don't get why this is happening.

I don't know what religion will change, if any. The event is intended for Ethiopia, so it might not be properly coded to respond to you owning the relevant areas instead. Perhaps it's intended to change the religion of Ethiopia when it fires, but the lack of Ethiopia is making that impossible.

You'll have to click "OK" and see!

religious zeal for 10 years, and it is still spreading. also unrest is bad.
I guess its okay for this to happen to me, so its not a bug, then. its just rather unfortunate.

It will stop by itself after a while and removes the modifiers when it does so, after that you can start converting back more quickly
Historically the Oromo migrations brought Ethiopia to it's knees and meant the end of the nearby Adal Sultanate. Chroniclers back then refer to it as an almost apocalyptic event. The in game version is a lot more tame than that but is still not the nicest thing that can happen to you.

I see, thank you. This event led me to go do some research on the Oromo and the whole thing was pretty interesting! I can always thank paradox games for leading me to learn some new things

Ethiopia is much bigger than Spain, but it's so poor...

Well, being larger than Spain (although not in Mercator), that makes sense. Anything to avoid the ridiculous month+ travel time between large provinces...

Roflmao @ The Oromo event picture. But I like these country-specific historic events shaking up the game a bit as long as it's not too static, like the old peasant wars, Is this event always happening for Ethiopia/conquering Ethiopia or is there are percentage chance not being forced to turn animist for a while? I usually liberate Ethiopia from it's shackles as Ottomans but interesting to know.

Statistically it will happen almost always.

It only changes the religion of provinces, the tooltip in the OP screenshot is wrong (will be fixed).

It's a sad thing that you can't convert to animism.
