Can Centers of Reformation spawn in your country?

[AP85]

I've never seen this happen, I'm just wondering if it's even possible. It would be nice to at least get an event that could make this happen.

You get a CoR if you're one of the first nations to convert.

I see. But for that to happen, wouldn't you need to convert with basically 100% Catholic unity?

I did it as denmark and that was fun.

Yes you would have to convert from 100% catholic down to whatever religious you switch over to.

But the good news? Your own CoR will act like an extra missionary on steroid to put it nicely.

Converting will switch one of your province and the CoR will help a lot in converting the rest. Not sure if tat's correct but the CoR might target your own provinces with a higher priority as well

Yes.

And the centre of reformation you get, along with the +10% missionary strength vs. heretics from being a recent convert, makes this mostly painless.

Going that little idea group that no one gets first, called Innovative, helps. A lot.

Happens quite a lot. Unfortunately, the only time I ever played as Austria is spawned in Vienna.

Really? I've probably played 20 campaigns in the HRE since Art of War and it's never happened to me.

I got it in 1.12 England game. Flipped to Protestant when at 100% and got a CoR. As always I immediately planned to take DoF, only to learn the hard way that you can't be DoF with a female ruler. So I was stuck with a single missionary. Still I was able to get most provinces flipped before the zeal ran out. In the meantime Scotland, who we had just vassalized and formed GB with, got a Reformed CoR, so at least I got the Center of Attention achievement, if not 100% unity yet due to the zeal those Reformed provinces received.

I have seen this happened before to me. It is quite rare as getting a PU out of nowhere or peacefully annex when ruler dies.

It can be annoying to have some religious issues as the HRE emperor long before before the 30 years war.

It's actually better for your new religion if you, the player, is NOT one of the first converting nations. It will result in more provinces and nations joining, especially if the Centers are not directly near you to begin with.

And converting is pretty trivial with the 10% bonus, just start at the bottom of your religious list and convert the highest value provinces first.

Is this about being the first to get the protestant or reformed center?

IIRC the center of reformation will spawn in your country much like the old protestant event fired. 95% reform desire, then more likely to happen for germans or scandinavians, if you are a small nation, if you got innovative idea group, if you got a rebellion, bad papal relation...

Forgot all of them, but on the other hand less likely to happen when you're large, got religious idea group. Also I think having cardinals and being defender of the catholic faith will make it almost impossible to fire... also being Italian, Iberian and of course being the pope

Otherwise, as others have said, just convert right away when protestant or reformed happens and you'll get your very own center. Keep an eye on catholic reform desire and be at peace otherwise someone else might snag it from you.
