Force Religion cost should be discounted by target provinces that share your faith.

[Podrick Payne]

As it stands, Force Religion is often too expensive to use. You essentially need to fully occupy the target which makes it nearly impossible in larger conflicts like League Wars which are rooted in religious conflict.

What I suggest is that the cost of Force Religion should not be tied to total provinces, it should be tied to annexation cost of provinces that are not the religion the target is being forced to. It should be cheaper to convert a nation that is already partially converted to your religion. i.e. A 4 province nation with 2 protestant provinces should cost about half as much to convert to protestant than a 4 province nation with no protestant provinces. I think this change would make 'liberating' your fellows in the faith easier and more attractive.

I think it should be specifically CORE provinces with the religion you want forced upon your enemy, and it should be capped at some small factor, maybe a maximum 10% reduction. Forcing a nation to adopt a religion is meant to be difficult and uncommon, and for a large enough state it should be theoretically impossible.

yep sounds good. And rework the god-damn force-religion vassal interaction that does not work if the target is sunni...

Works just fine on Sunni targets if you're Shia or Ibadi

 

[Mattius]

It makes sense, but force religion in general doesn't.

I agree.
