Converting France

[unmerged(45766)]

Aye. Kinda too late, but thanks anyhow I was more going for the "are the bonuses any decent?" simplier noobish question, but that would lead me to admit I never converted a country before. Ho, ups. o

Well, if conversions costs are rather close, I usually go protestant or reformed, as their bonuses are hefty. Especially reformed's +10% TE.

(how'd that spain of yours go?)

On a rampage.
Ended fully converted, maxitechized, with the whole of Americas (with many cities and colonial cities), Portugal annexed (diplo-annexed before the conversion), whole Iberia/Italy/France/Netherlands, parts of Germany and Scotland, CoTs all over the world (nearly all in fact, when a country needed to be annexed I engineered it's annexation by its neighbours before taking the CoT), most of India (either colonized or vassalized), all of Indonesia, most of Africa (with land connection, so I got MP).

I've seen an AI Spain annex Portugal, but then I (as Burgundy) inherited them in some events. Not only did I get a lot of colonies, but there was a dark red expanse from the Netherlands, down through eastern France, and into all of Iberia. Years later though, the Dutch revolts broke the Netherlands away, and then, while I had little army, mass revolts in Iberia and France. Regarding the Dutch revolts, yes, it goes away eventually, but the game will probably throw another one at you.

Should disappear in 1648 yes.

Ho dear God...

What if I release and then Diplo-anex them back? I'm reformed anyways so it should be possible.

The RR goes away if you release them, yes.

There is an event, whether you are Protestant or Catholic, that fires in the late 1600's and converts approximately 9 or 10 provinces in your country to your State Religion.

Reformed though... if you tellme the name or where to find it I'll go and mod it though.

In the meantime, there will be a semi-independent Holland... *spits on the ground*

Yeah, that's a nice event just after the war of religion.

Playing as a French power (thus aiming at owning all of France or at least the North) is it worth it to convert to protestant/reformed?

Specificly I'm on a Burgundy game, I'm rich as hell, own about 3/4 of France plus all Dutch provinces, Genova and 3 rich german ones. 3 dutch provinces already converted to reformed and protestant and I'm wondering if the effort to make the rest of the country so is worth it on future tax/trade bonus.

France should be converted. They are yet not borg.

Can't find it - sure it exists on AGCEEP?

The event exists only for the Huguenots in AGCEEP.
Some events changes provinces to catholic though.

It's good to let them be independent until 1610-1620, since they get some free-stuff in events.

They also "steal" Flandern's COT away though, and being the only fully converted region they're very valuable.

Conversion of France is going slow, recovering stability is a pain, and worst of all I had TWO devastating fires already
