God. Damn it.

I guess I HAVE to take Religious ideas. Damn you Pope.

Or hire an inquisitor. Or boost stability to +3.

Stability is already at 3. I'm 17 years ahead in admin points.

If I hire an inquisitor, it's gonna take nearly 10 or 15 years to convert it. Though I suck at math.

 

[Naburimannu]

Or hire an inquisitor. Or boost stability to +3.

Stability's already at +3; there's a +1.5% Positive Stability modifier.

 

[SirKulinski]

With an inquisitor it should bring you to 9.7% which gives you a monthly progress of 2.2% which should result in about 45 months of conversion time. Assuming you maintain +3 stability.

You could also wait for the Council of ???? to happen and embrace the counter-reformation which gives you a missionary and I believe +2% conversion power.

It's only 1.2%. An inquisitor gives 2%.

 

[Comes Imperii]

The inquisitor is only +2% so that would be 8.7%-7.5%=1.2% per month so 83 months to complete.
I'd see if I can pass more +missionary strength decisions or even consider converting to Protestant.

 

[Lamahorse]

Just have to wait for the counter Reformation.

I see my bad, I don't have to do the whole conversion thing a lot :x Then it would take 83 months.

 

[Katakakes]

Just have to wait for the counter Reformation.

Ah, I thought of that! The thing is, the counter-reformation can't be removed can it? Because the increased tech cost is a bummer.

The only decisions left to increase miss strength is counter-reformation and the witchcraft act, which you get from completing religious ideas.

So the only way to convert that province is to either embrace the counter-reformation, which will give me increased tech costs till the end of the game, going Religious ideas, which is a waste of idea slot in my France game or to be lucky enough that an Inquisitor will show up. Either way it's gonna take a LONG time to convert it, mostly dependent on an Inquisitor showing up.

 

[unmerged(811593)]

Pardon my ignorance, but shouldn't there be a "Religious Zeal" modifier adding another -8% Missionary Strength? Unless of course more than 50 years have passed since Paris flipped to Protestantism.

The counter reformation ends at some point, I can't remember the date, at which point you lose the tech malus.

*rest*

The counter-reformation is removed after an undefinied amount of time.

 

[delpiero1234]

It's removed after 1650 as far as I know.

Yep. 50 years passed. Nearly most of the other provinces have the religious zeal modifier, making this situation much more ludicrous.

 

[Comradebot]

At that point, I think I'd just convert to Protestant.

 

[tapewormlondon]

Yep, i dont think I would be messing around trying to convert all those provinces, make the switch

 

[Katakakes]

But but I'm so close to getting the curia, and the cardinal bonuses are so good.

Though it's very hard to beat Spain in the Curia game. They have a national idea that gives them influence. I'm also already converting provinces which will give me more influence.

 

[Alblaka]

Ah, I thought of that! The thing is, the counter-reformation can't be removed can it? Because the increased tech cost is a bummer.

Well, if you are willing to sacrifice your stab, you could enact counterreformation, convert everything, then convert to protestantism (which will remove counter-reformation) and then convert to catholic again. You'll lose all your cardinals though.

Then pass the Counter-Reformation decision, pass the Blasphemy Act, the De heretico comburendo act, hire the Inquisitor, pass some of those decisions which give you increased narrow-minded for a while (if you took aristocracy and/or economy).
Or just do what Alblaka said.
