Benchmarks that you mastered the game

[Dimitri Cosmos]

1.) Become the hereditary religious head of all religions (that have religious head)

If you are of different religion, doesn't that pass away the religious head title to someone who actually is of that religion?

No. You get to keep them all. Isn't that nice?

Ok, it's easily verifiable with the console command "give_title [id_of_the_titular_title] [your_id]".

I will see.

My current ruler is head of 5 reformed pagan religions. Him and everyone of his predecessors inherited all those religious head titles.

And most of them just gave all those titles to a single dynasty member, usually his brother or son, so that they could easily change their religious often and invalidate those religious revolts resulted from mass pillaging.

OK, I now see that it's possible. Just don't see the point of it.

But I'm a bit surprised that it's possible and doesn't ruin anything, except the moral authority of my own religion, it seems.I think I recall one game, where I changed my religion while being First Vaidila to see if I can join another Warrior Lodge and my successor was no longer my primary heir but someone else. Maybe, my memory betrays me. I'm not sure.

Ok, but how then you usurp the Pope's title? I imagine that he always has to be in the game for the crusades and other mechanics to work. Or does this work only with reformed pagans?

Oh, I see someone already has accomplished this. It's the same method as with everything else. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/usurping-the-papacy-d.604942/

But then it's actually nothing special. Conquer and usurp.

1.) extra prestige and dynastic prestige. I think that religuous head titles do not count into the max 2 duchies limit to opinion penalty. You also get greater control of the religion, if you want to tank their moral authority grant it to someone impious ( can be granted even as viceroyalty)

2.) how doea it ruin moral authority of your religion?

I made a YouTube video explaining how to acquire the papacy in patch 3.2.1, but i think were not allowed to post yt links here, but basically it included electing your heir of religion that allows priest inheritance or muslim through the college of cardinals, making him to convert to that religion the same day pope dies.

This method of usurpation no longer works, usurping religious head title is no longer allowed.

2.) how doea it ruin moral authority of your religion?

I don't know but that's what happened after I entered those console commands. My religion was reformable before I did it, but afterwards its MA dropped by 20 points (from 62 to 42). Maybe it has something to do with the mods I'm using. Maybe it's because the other two remaining holy sites were under the religions that I now controlled. Oddly, Catholicism MA went up to 100. Probably because of my high piety.
