Muslim rulers are not using their court imams

[Gunnarr]

I am playing as a muslim for once and after talking most of Hispania (except the West strip of it, because the HRE took that... ruining my game) I noticed it is taking forever for any of the catholic provinces to be converted.

After about 20 years, still, only about two locations were converted. They are all under vassal duchies.

I went to see what the court imams of all those duchies were doing.

Every single one of them was just sitting in court, not converting any provinces or anything.




...


WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!?

I have Sword of Islam and Legacy of Rome. I have the latest patch. I am not using any mods.

Why are all my vassal court imams not doing anything?

because muslims get bonus tax from non-muslim provinces. the AI has been scipted nto to convert them. instead, there are events that do.

What are these events?

Is there then no reason to convert the population? I noticed the bonus tax, but does having wrong religion hurt the levy or anything after the first wrong religion penalty wears off? (sorry i do not know much about the game!)

Why not have them do other missions then, like perform charity or increase cultural research???

Is it possible to change the code to have them convert again?

the events are basicly that the province converts to your religion.

after their just conquered penalty wears off there really isnt much need for conversion. it has a upped revolt risk, but due to rulers often pissing off peasants and cultural diffrences youll get those anyway. rebels really arent that annoying as well considering the increased tax, which ealsy pays for a small retinue to whack rebels. heck, raise levies is about free and if the local duke is any decent more than enough to knock down rebels within a month..

There's really no reason to convert provinces and lose the Jizya tax. The only lasting penalty from having the wrong religion would be the increased revolt risk, but that shouldn't be more than a mild annoyance in any case.

It is weird that they don't use their imams for anything else though. I have never checked but do court chaplains have this same behavior?

It does simulate what islamic rulers often did, they weren't quite as proselytizing as their christian counterparts. It led to strange and some times corrosive politics within some medieval islamic states (Sicily and iberia in particular).

If the Imams are just sitting in their capitals, maybe they ARE increasing cultural research.

no, it says they are "at court"

anyway, thank you all for answering the questions.

i will just try to find it myself
