Does the AI cheat with religious conversion?

[Sidolowka]

Was having a very casual Saladin's Legacy run, until I caught my vassal Mushasha 'cheating' with religious conversion.

March 16th, Mushasha has 6.9% missionary progress in Samawat, even though they have -2.8 missionary strength in the province. I assumed it was a UI bug and watched it for a while, only for it to do this.

March 23rd, Mushasha now has 7.3% missionary progress, meaning they made 0.4% progress in one week, even though they have negative missionary strength. The UI clearly reads that Samawat will never be fully converted, and the missionary will have 0% monthly progress.

This is clearly not the case. What's happening here?

How do you know what their missionary strength is for that province? The UI is simply showing you what missionary strength you have to convert their province on their behalf, but they might have a completely different missionary strength themselves (i.e. they might have religious ideas, or a state edict or they might have gotten an event etc.).

Ah okay that makes sense thank you.

If you go to the province overview and hover over the religion, you can see their missionary strength.

Mushasha gets +2% missionary strength against heretics as a NI.

yep, you were watching your missionary strength. I wished they cheated tbh, at least colonial nations would convert their provinces
