No, and there won't be T-34 eithers.
Its outside of the timeframe. The schism ended about 30 years before the start of the game.

Looks good. I'm looking forward to next week DD about trade and hope it will be an extensive one. I love the trade part of the game.
Wow, I hope you guys aren't leaving the T-34s out just so you can sell them to us as DLC later. FYI, if you don't tell me that you're not going to sell them as DLC, I'm going to assume that's what you're going to do and make a lot of frustrated anti-DLC topics about this.
Have you never seen the Emperor use the 'Enforce Religious Unity' casus belli, only to trigger a cascading alliance against himself? That's basically all the 30YW would be in game terms. But maybe EU4 will have a DHE relating to it.

Unless I've missed something, there was no mention of excommunication and crusades for the Papacy. Are they still in the game, or have they been dropped? (I always thought they were a little bit anachronistic for the period, especially since EU4 will start 45 years later.)
Heh. Great answer Johan. To clarify something you said earlier, is it correct that nations of different religions are no longer doomed to have permanent bad relations? So Nation A and Nation B may strategically cooperate against Nation C, even though A and B have different and indeed mutually antagonistic faiths?
I haven't. Generally, in my games, the Emperor demands conversions and most of the empire rolls over immediately.
Agreed, with one proviso: Hypothetically, if a Muslim power were to capture Rome, I would hope there would be an all-out Christian reprisal. And vice-versa if a Christian power captured Mecca and/or Medina.

Blargh! I don't disagree with the mechanic called Piety, but why call it that, if it isn't even supposed to be some measure of goodness? It just smacks of the idea that the only way to be a good Muslim is to be a luddite building pyramids of heretic skulls and smashed steam engine parts. Why not call it "Fervor" or something like that?
Nothing revolutionary but I think that with sliders gone - and missionaries being fixed at a certain number - that large-scale conversions should be much rarer now, or at least slower.
Well so now we know for sure that game will start in 1444. It was like almost sure before. Anyway there is a second GREAT question then :
WILL THERE BE ANTIPOPE FELIX V?
I wonder which idea set contains the ideas for increasing tolerance. Assuming of course that tolerance is still being mostly modified through ideas.
I agree with the reservations on changes for Islam. A multi-religious ottoman empire should be at par in efficiency will a full converted one. it was only with the last avatars of EU3 that it what finally achievable: Ottoman Tolerance decision + humanist Tolerance NI + tolerance modifier for tax and stab in provinces.
Would it be possible if one chooses to adopt the Innovative path of ideas?
