I started as Haestinngs and took over Lithuania, now about 3 generations later I have the Wendish empire and its all reformed Romuvan. Money/tech are crazy high, and I have pretty decent levies.
My goal is to wipe out Catholicism and replace it with Romuvan.
A) is this feasibly possible in approx. 250 years?
B) I'd like to do it without as much /LAND/ as possible. I'd prefer not to expand past Wendish empire, so I don't blob more. I'm fine with war. I know one idea is to get claimants, convert them, install them. This is great and I did it once to the African kingdom and Finland, but its very very hard. Even with carousing and high diplomacy I can't seem to claimants to join me, and when they do, its always weak claims. So I have to plot to kill basically all the people ahead of them until its a regency or woman in charge (or my guy is third in line). This is really, really hard. Plot to kill takes a while even at 100%, and its almost impossible for me to get higher than that since the -'s for religion make everyone hate me.
How can I make the above work better/easier/faster? Is there a better way to convert nations without taking land?
edit: I have all 5 holy sites, my MA is bouncing between 90-100. Catholic MA is 40-60, I took Koln and Kent, and they don't own Jerusalem. AFAIK know though, this only helps me convert land inside my country, and only increases heresy spread inside Catholicism. Not really helpful for what I want to do. Right?
