Maximum number of missionaries as Shinto?

[ep1c_fail]

Is the maximum number of missionaries you can get as Shinto 3?

You get 1 base, 1 from religious ideas and 1 from lvl 3 isolationism. Not including short term events, is it possible to get more? Unlike most other religions you don't get extra missionaries from holding certain provinces and you cannot become defender of the faith.

Also, do the isolationism events fail to affect your isolationism if you are no longer the Shogun or a Daimyo? Seemed to me that when I changed government type away from Shogunate, the isolationism events (whilst still firing) had no affect on my isolationism level, irrespective of what I chose.

If you start as Otomo, you can get 4 missionaries, as they get one from their national ideas

Yeah, that's true.

I just finished the Ideas Guy achievement with a Daimyo custom nation (using the Kuril Islands as a start), so I suppose it would also be possible to add extra missionaries to a Shinto nation through customization or to flip to Shinto using a default nation that has an extra missionary its in national idea load out. Nevertheless, if the standard Shinto nation cannot get more than 3 missionaries, it seems like its more useful to take humanist over religious if you're planning to blob into China and India. I have no idea how one would go about getting the "One Faith" achievement using a Shinto nation that wasn't Otomo (even though that's designed to become Catholic).

It is 5

1 base
1 from isolationism
1 from religious ideas
1 from idea group (you can form Spain as a Shinto nation if needed)
1 From the Feudal Theocracy government if you form Persia


For a Shinto one Faith, you can simply use your Daiymo vassal swarm though.

Thanks. I forgot about Feudal Theocracy government type.

How would you add more Daimyo's aside from the ones that already exist?

If you stay a shogunate, ALL subjects are daimyo and have the same rules.

Regardless, as you've noticed Shinto is not a very good religion. That said, access to Daimyo and tributary spam alike does help out.

switch to catholic, and let shinto rebels convert your land, unless you cant convert back :3

Daimyo can't have their religion forced though, so you'd need to keep the Daimyo you get in Japan or forcefully convert them before vassalizing.

Can also convert majority of development before releasing a vassal. Since you have unlimited vassal slots you don't have to be overly picky getting good tags converted, just spitting out dozens of OPMs to feed works fine.
