AOW - Royal Marriages between different religions!

[Krajzen]

During last stream devs said - I am not sure if this info appeared before - that

a) Historically 'personal unions' were almost exclusive to European continent thus now they will be available only for Christians

b) However other religion groups will have enabled Royal Marriages between each other (such as Sunni - Sikh) as - opposite to PU - it has been not - so - rare outside of Europe.


Personally I love it as pre AOW personal unions were already almost always happening in Europe while inter - religious marriages are awesome option. Also not sure if this will be feature exclusive for ROTW but if yes: it will be yet another thing differentiating European and non - European gameplay.

I think it's a good idea especially if it will improve the possibility of interfaith alliances in Europe and Asia

Marriages between Catholics and Orthodox did exist no idea why it should be exclusive for none Europeans

Those already existed since EUII...

Mariages within religious group always existed in EU.

Interfaith mariages did not.

You can already marry heretics. Now the RotW can marry heathens, while Christians get personal unions.

Honestly I am not sure if interreligious marriages are exclusive for non - Europeans, this is what I understand from a stream. Definitely most of the world can now make marriages.

Byzantine had a royal marriage with the Ottomans, so royal marriages between faiths should be possible.

Making sure the garbage luck based mechanic that bypasses all other normal game restrictions is European only? That's not even subtle.

Not sure what you're talking about. Such alliances are trivial in 1.7, the only thing that interferes with them is the idiotic insta -200 from missions on India/SEA. Without those active it's trivial for Mongolia to ally Austria or Morocco to ally France.

Marriages between different religious groups are only available to non-christian religions. Marriages within the same religious group are available to everybody, as it currently is.

Wait, so Reformed country can marry Orthodox? Damn I had to overlook something

1) Only Christians can now get PUs. Christians can only RM other Christians.

2) All non-Christians can now marry all other non-Christians.

Will this indeed allow Eastern religions to finally RM Muslims and Dharmics? Currently, the Eastern group seems to get shafted the most in terms of marriages/alliances, since they're mostly too few, and too spread out to be helpful to each other. Yes, they have Ming, but it's mostly completely useless as an ally in any regards, Japan just sits on its islands, occasionally conquering Korea or bits of the Chinese coast, Oirat, Manchu, and Korea are too busy fighting each other, and SEA nations tend to prefer staying within their jungles.

a) Thanks for response

b) Awesome

What's the point of royal marriages if you have 0 chance of getting a PU out of them..

 

[AurochsAway]

Not sure exactly how it makes up for PU loss, although perhaps diplovassal mechanics have changed that allow ROTW to dipvassalise each other.

Relationship bonus, legitimacy, heir chance, makes them much less likely to attack you due to stab hit

You can diplovassalise other religions already in 1.7, this will make it easier for non-Christians to do so.

Ah. Now the livestream commentary makes sense. Cheers.

I dunno how I feel about PUs being Europe-only, honestly.

Feels kind of crummy, even with marriages being enabled cross-faith outside of Europe.
