Dirty Iconoclasts, in my Republic!

[kviiri]

I'm playing as the Emperor of Sicily and I have Girgenti (in Southern Sicily) as a vassal republic. They were originally Iconoclast, but I have since converted the province and most families to Catholicism.

The problem? Even if the province and Doge are Catholic, it seems new Iconoclast families are spawning to replace extinct houses. How does this happen and can I stop it without keeping my Court Chaplain there for decades?

If the republic's capital is Icononclast, newly generated characters/families will be of that religion (also culture) that is present there IIRC. It's a vanilla mechanic

This is what I assumed, but it seems new Iconoclast families are spawning despite the county having been joyously Catholic for a while now. I'll do more experimenting to confirm this later.

Hmm, there's not much we can about it either way as I believe the mechanic is hard coded.

Just back to confirm: yeah, it definitely happens. I used the console to whack an Iconoclast family to oblivion, and they were replaced by another Iconoclast family despite both the Doge and the county religion being Catholic.

That's annoying, we'll try to investigate some sort of work around but that certainly seems to be some hard coded issue. Any chance you can provide the save for that? Would make the investigation easier for sure.

I'm pretty sure the game creates a character of whatever religion is currently assigned to the title -- which seems like it's iconoclast, and I believe it will remain so until the next succession. There is nothing we can do about that.

Might take a day or two, but I'll do my best. Thanks in advance!

Sorry for the stupid question, but how do I upload my save on the forum? The "Upload a File" dialog doesn't accept CK2 save files.

I think the forum accepts zip files, if not just use an external site like mediafire
