Custom religion

[t6.28]

Many branches emerged during the reformation, so I think it would be nice, if the game allowed you to, if the reformation has progressed far enough (200 reform desire?), create your own reformed religion.

For that you could have a religion designer. In that you could choose a name for your religion, two boni (tolerance of true faith/heathens/heretics, trade power, tax modifier, stability cost, etc.), local missionary strength and the base mechanic for your religion (papal influence (without being papal controller of course), church power, fervor, patriarchal authority, piety, karma, select norse/hindu gods (they would of course rather represent patronesses), etc.). As in the nation designer you could have a certain amount of points available, so you can't make your religion too strong.

Once you created your religion, you can of course use enforce religion demand to make other countries convert. Other christian countries can of course also freely choose to convert to your religion (but will probably be unlikely to do so).

This would give the player the advantage of fine-tuning his religious boni to his needs, at the cost of being the wrong religion.

Protestant is already basically a custom religion though.

I agree that it is a very nice mechanic. But if you're generation almost no church power or don't have common sense you are still stuck with the boring +10% tax and +1 tolerance of the True Faith.
