Probably a question that gets asked rather often, but is gameplay as the Consumerist prophet going to be implemented at all? I've tried just consoling to it but the game crashes.
An event that allows for switching to the prophet after the uprising succeeds would be nice.
To play as Consumerists:
1. Either play the game normally or press alt and 21 to bring up the console, then type "observe"
2. If playing, play until you get the "Rise of Consumerism" event. If observe, keep the religion map open and watch like a hawk
3. Once Consumerism emerges, pause and save the game.
4. Go to the main menu and reload your save. You should be able to select any ruler on the map.
5. NOW! Select a consumerist, either the Prophet or one of his vassals.
If you play as the Prophet, for as long as he as he is alive and land under your control can be converted to consumerism almost instantly.
I've played as Consumerists a number of times so I know this can be done.
