Manichean Horde, attempting to become Zoroastrian

[Avalanchemike]

Right so I'm the Uyghur Horde. They begin as Manichean, which initially anyways, is a heresy of Zoroastrianism. After I'd conquered a large chunk of the steppes, and making Manichean the true creed of all who follow the Zoroastrian faith through the sheer numbers of my horde, I decided "hey, why not do the cool Zorastrian stuff, I've not played as these guys before." So I look up the religious decisions for them. And Manicheans cannot access them lol.

Never fear, I think to myself, I'll just conquer one of the few remaining Zoroastrian provinces and convert off the local province decision. Except that nomads don't have access to that :| Now I'm a bit desperate. There are very few provinces left as Zoroastrian and very few courtiers, though luckily a successful province revolt has revive this somewhat. How can I convert to Zoroastrian?

Please help me rekindle the flames!

Edit: I should mention I don't have Conclave.

Have at least one, if not all your potential heirs (sons), be educated by a Zoroastrian courtier with the Faith/Heritage focus. Starting at age 6.

I don't have Conclave v__v

 

[Naughtius Maximus]

If you don't have Conclave the best way would be to have your children educated by a LANDED zorastrian. They absolutely have to be landed. If they are in your court they are unlikely to convert.

Just be aware his ethnicity may also change. So either land a zorastrian courtier, preferebly of your choice ethnicity (mostly your own.) Or you can send him to that foreign successful Zoraster revolter.

Edit: Baron tier is fine. They can even be mayors or priests. But they must own land.

Is the "convert to culture of concubine" option available to nomads ?

Is the "convert to culture of concubine" option available to nomads ?

Assuming you mean convert to religion as you cannot convert to your concubine's culture via decision afaik, the answer is yes; however, only pagans can convert to the religion of their concubine / spouse.

Haven't played a nomadic character recently. Does the Court Chaplain (or whatever they call it) have the normal Study Religious Technology action that can convert to a heresy?

 

[CaptainPolyp]

I believe the court chaplain has this ability with nomads. So if Zoroastrianism has become an heresy of Manicheism, it should be possible to get this event where your court chaplain proposes you to convert to the heresy.

If the OP wants to make Zoroastrianism survive (to be certain to have Zoroastrian courtiers available for educating the children), it could be interesting to land one of them as feudal or MR vassal, so that he make a court of Zoroastrians spawn. Relations could be tricky but if the nomadic realm is strong enough, it should be easy to keep them in line.
