Converting to Shia: Ajam

[BrittaniaRules]

So, why does hitting the convert button in national decisions break my alliances but keep my royal marriages. Is this intended?

 

[braunschweig1]

What are you going to do, execute all the relatives you've married? Breaking royal marriages is a STAB hit so if conversion broke the royal marriages without lowering STAB it would be very strong (and gamey) to just convert and backstab DoW someone.

Still doesn't answer the question. I can instantly re-ally all the broken alliances so why is it in there?

It's the same behavior as when you force convert by religious rebels. Alliances are broken but other relationships (royal marriages, guarantees etc) are kept as long as they are valid in the new religion as well.

It's not certain you'll be able to re-ally afterwards because same/different religion opinion modifier will have changed after conversion.

Alliances are always broken when you flip religion.

Alliances are always broken when you flip religion.

This doesn't seem to apply to switching between Western Christian denominations through the Religion screen.

There is a decision? I just accepted rebel demands day 1. I flipped religions with no noticeable loss of... anything

I think there's a decision in the Star & Crescent DLC
