Miaphysite and Orthodox religions, are there any differences?

[Wise Strategist]

Are any real differences between the Miaphysite and Orthodox faiths beyond who the religious head?

Complicated differences on the nature of Jesus. If you meant gameplay differences then I don't know.

Miaphysites reject all ecumenical councils after the first three.

Playing as Miaphysite before I had the Coptic Pope join me in war. He didn't have any lands though so I'm not sure what good he was for "helping" me.

Gameplay wise?. They are two seperate version of Christianity, with all what that entails.

I'm fairly sure Miaphysites can't have autocephalous patriarchs. Otherwise, not much gameplay difference.

They actually can.

 

[Sleight of Hand]

Most of the Armenian characters are still inexplicably Orthodox instead of Miaphysite, though. :sad:

They actually can.

In game, you mean?

Yep. They're functionally Orthodoxy 2: Electric Boogaloo in game. Except Ethiopian and doomed.
