I Really don't like how the Reformation works in 1.8

[Ranjid]

As a reformed member you need the Peace of Westphalia event to fire which establishes religious peace in the empire and allows for any Christian to be emperor

Why do reformed nations have to settle with a status quo? Reformed is the dominant faith in the HRE in my game. Catholics and Protestants are almost non-existant.

I think there is still an issue of certain nations being more or less hard coded to turn Protestant, in my game England and Bohemia pretty much flipped as soon as the reformation started and got the two other centers, I also see Sweden do this rather commonly

I find it strange that this is still the case and that we couldn't come up with something more dynamic, also no nation seems to be coded to become Reformed which is just inconsistant

But with the way this works you will get the start in a random place but end up with the next 2 in either England, Bohemia or Sweden, I would be rather shocked if it didn't always happen this way without player intervention, While I disliked the old model, I think this one needs some more work

In my game, England and Savoy turned reformed. There were also, to be honest, quite a lot of HRE minors and other countries that went reformed (the total territories were quite small for the religion, though, and they were quickly converted by me as Emperor, but comparatively to vanilla it was quite a lot, since in vanilla I usually saw like one or two reformed nations, not even in all games, some lasted with no reformed nations, IIRC). It's really the randomness factor of where the centers spawn and where they convert provinces.

Weird. Couple other nations went reformed and yet didn't get it.

Plus two of my protestant centers aren't in capitals.
