If releasing a vassals with a religion is WAD, it is wrong

[Wizzington]

We're likely changing it to be based on majority religion of cores. Will count non owned cores too, meaning no releasing 3 development Catholic Persia and feeding it all its cores.

 

[Wizzington]

From a standpoint of logic, how do you justify a kingdom not being able to install whatever ruling party it wants in a vassal state it is creating?

If you want the realism argument, such a state would have no recognized claims on its cores, a million Shiite persians aren't gonna be dandy with any state that calls itself 'Persia' regardless of religion.

Ofc the realism argument is meaningless, what you should not be able to do is easily mass convert regions by selectively releasing opm vassals with lots of cores.

A million peasants... certainly they can revolt. but those mechanics already exist

Cores represent a rightful claim to the land. A fake-Persia created by some Catholic would have no such claim.

 

[Wizzington]

That's illogical. How can the religion of provinces that aren't part of my empire prevent me from doing something internal to my empire? You need to think about this some more if you want to retain plausibility.

You're right. I'll just have vassals lose all cores that they don't own when released then, since that's outside your empire. Sound good?

(Not actually doing that because I still don't care about realism arguments)
