Edit to resist flipping religiously flipping provinces just doesn't work.

(Damned typo in subject line... Should say "EDICT")

I am always infuriated by using the edict to stop religious flips to simply watch it not work. Doesn't slow it down in the least.

Also, after having spent the ENTIRE GAME assiduously avoiding any of the decisoins to increase religious flippage, I am always infuriated while my provinces flip, flip, flip from yellow to blue regardless.

wtaf?

If you are refering to the Ages ability then i have to ask:
Are you actually using the edict in the states menu?

What vulcan said.
Also reform desire is a global mechanic. (I'm guessing threse are the events you're referring to) If you choose options that reduce our at least don't increase reform desire you're only delaying the global arrival of protestantism.

However since ai nations also get these events (and are likely to pick opotions that increase it) your influence is minimal.

Also with it activated, it doesn't stop reformation centers from spreading there, it just increases their conversion time by 90%. It has no effect on flip events.

Its a marginal effect, but if you're playing Catholic, well, the reformation is your mid-game boss.

It didn't seem to slow it down one iota.

The only thing I can think of is "pray the Center of Reformation are 'over there.'"

Now, it used to be that the Reformation was pretty darned anemic. It's the opposite since this upgrade. Damned unstoppable.

Are you playing the open beta? Current build its bugged to the point it consumes most of Europe.

I'm on v.1.23.0.0 Persia (1b5e)

 

[Ulfing]

Then yeah, that version is bugged to over spawn centres of reformation that generally result in the extinction of Catholicism.

If it's supposed to slow down the conversion speed of a CoR, then it's definitely not working.

If it's supposed to affect the chance of the province being targetted by the CoR, then that requires further testing.

ETA: After some testing I've found that the edict does work. It just might not be noticeable enough at 90% resistance.

I used it in all of my states in one of my latest games on 1.23 and it worked pretty well. Pretty much all of Europe became Protestant or Reformed and I stayed nearly 100% catholic. But it's absolutely true that the reformation centers are way too strong (bugged) in the current patch.
