El Dorado: Can't reform religion

[dvnitycker]

Edit: Can't reforn religion, not government

Can someone from Paradox please care to explain this? I've based my entire strategy on this point. Are there any hidden conditions? Is this a bug? When can I expect the patch?

Not a tech support issue so moved to main forum. If the community agrees it's likely to be a bug, post in Bug Reports please.

Also corrected title.

This seems to have been reported one year ago:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/how-to-reform-as-inti.840101/

Btw my tech level is 1/1/1 . Howcome not yet fixed?

Have you tried waiting for end of war? And or wait for the next month?

 

[dvnitycker]

Affirmative re next month. End of war not an option because I'll lose it heavily, and playing ironman mode (aztec sunrise achievement target).

There is a bug where you can't reform if at war.

And yes, it's a bug. If you disagree, read that description of the requirements and try again. If the UI lists the requirements and you meet the requirements, you should be able to do the action.

But you can't. Either the UI or the mechanic are bugged, and they are equally bad. Report it please, I can't right now.

Also I do believe you cannot reform if you have uncored colonies. Even though they do not count towards overextension if you are a native, you still need a fully cored empire before you can reform.

That is interesting. Is that still the case? Could that also prevent native councils from reforming?

I was able to reform religion the month after next. So Portugal got core in May 15, I was able to reform on July 1. Still at war. Weird mechanic.
Also, I had an adjecent colony (but not uncored colonial city), which didn't pose a problem.

Yeah an ongoing colony won't be an issue, only uncored colonial city.

So I was right then! Good to know it worked, after slight delay, but worked
