i think i found a method to change religion.

[IceM]

In the Demo , since the time is very limited, i couldnt prove my theory, but what i did was:
I Was playing as Duke of Iceland (using that start gamem chheat) and i arranged marriage with my Heir and a girl from a pagan polish family,
Then, the heir of my son had the religion of his mother. Which makes me believe that if he took power (the game ended before that), since he is the leader, the religion would change too. And i tested this mechanics on porpose, unfortunately the demo limited me .
Any one tested it?

Uh huh, if you have your child educated by a character with a different religion, they will convert to that character's religion.

I think it is a known fact that you can change your leaders religion (or get a pagan leader that way) that way and play him, but what you cannot do is reload such a saved game or more specific you cannot select pagan countrys when loading a savegame and this includes your country which is now leaded by a pagan.

so if i had the possibility to save the game in the demo, and i succeded in converting the Duchy of iceland, i wouldnt be more able to play it?

 

[senior_hombre]

Yes this is how i remember the threads i was reading.

 

[IceM]

oh but its probably moddable.

But you can still use the same awesome method of choosing your character after pressing play to continue playing the pagan save.

If they don't fix that in the full version which I bet they will.

 

[IceM]

but in the full version you can play a muslim right?

Nope.

 

[A_Dane]

no. This has been stated over and over actually the full game only focuses on the christian states, with western catholic feudalism being the norm.. You can play as other christians as well, but they won't be as accurately represented, and the muslims won't be playable :/ (although, we can always hope for a DLC that adds alot of content)

EDIT: emu'd -.-

 

[Wezqu]

Only if you start as christian dynasty and some point manage to convert. You can continue the game normally but just be warned there will be less events for you as muslims aren't supported in the base game.

I don't want to hijack this thread but what is the start game cheat?

When you start the game in CKII demo just after you press start quickly click the map again on the realm you want to play and you will play as them.

 

[FrozenWall]

Muslims and pagans are fully playable, at least in the demo and with some tinkering, but lack proper mechanics and events.

You can convert your ruler, save the game and reload as the ruler in the full game. Paradox has confirmed it.

Right, I think ParadoxianLP's Smolensk game featured such a conversion, and he reloaded from save. There's just too much missing from the Pagan Court's and available actions to make it worth playing much, that's the problem.

 

[Cuthuthulu]

I remember you could do something similar back in CKI. Nothing quite like telling the pope where to go after converting to orthodox!

 

[Communazi]

If your leader is of a different religion, will your chaplain dude convert people to the same religion or his own?

Or does 'invite a holy man to court' automatically create a new religious chap with the leaders religion

I tried testing this: as an Orthodox ruler I had a monophysite (heresy) court chaplain head an inquisition that converted individuals to standard orthodox. I didn't see, however, if his efforts would convert the province in addition to individuals (1086 rolls around pretty quickly :roll eyes
