I play France in the Grand Campaign - Would you recommend changing your religion to Protestant/Reformed. I have done it - the revolts are endless and many provinces do chance to Reformed - at least not until now - i am in year 1590 -

Why the revolts are endless??? You do adjust your religious tolerance sliders, do you? You should get revolts only when you convert, not after.
Nothing wrong with protestant France, it almoust happened anyway, just Henri thought Paris deserved a mass.
I sometimes play protestant- gives you nice little extra income and that extra colonist comes in handy as well.

can't remember the exact year, or if it is present in the standard gc, but there is supposed to be a civil war around that time. are you getting 'obscurism' notices?
Ok thanks mate. Havent really adjusted the sliderbars - i will try that. Just coulden`t live without those colonoist - so i converted to Protestant and later to Reformed.
Hmmm, i'd suggest you keep it to protestant- reformed gives you a bit negative income, while protestant increases it. And you get quite enough settlers with dynamism later.
I've played France in GC and IGC a lot. Best strategy I've found is to stay Catholic and just tweek tolerance. Unless of course you've previously conquered the Dutch provinces; then you might want to go reformed in order to stop the dutch nationalism.
On the issue of colonists, you can easily make up the colonist from going Protestant, and in addition gain other advantages, by rushing naval tech and building a shipyard.

As France I stay Catholic until Catholic Counter Reform becomes available. I switch to CRC and stay in it even after the Edict of Tolerance becomes CRC gives you an extra colonist and higher morale.
The extra morale is great when you start warmongering. With CRC you get 5 colonists a year which is enough.
The only problem with staying CRC is that (1) you cannot switch religions after you insist on staying as CRC (2) your religion sliders becomes a nightmare as soon as you conquer Orthodox and Muslim provinces.
