Nestorian-Coptic distinction

[Smartguy725]

Should Nestorian be added to distinguish itself from Miaphysite/Coptic? What would it's mechanics be, if it is?

I don't think there would be enough of a distinction or enough provinces following it to warrant its own mechanics.

 

[DeerMan]

its importance was more diplomatic and trade related much like judaism

I guess I'll add on to this and say the Assyrians (if they're added) and Socotra would get the faith.

On one hand, I don' t think it deserves its distinction due to how it was a very minor faith at this point.
On other hand, it exists if you in CK2 converted saves, so not sure why just not include that one in Assyria.

Nestorian and Miaphysite Christology is basically the opposite of each other, to the extent that the Miaphysites accused Chalcedonian Christianity of being Nestorians in their polemics against Chalcedonian Christianity.

As said before although, they're not numerically sufficient to appear on the map (barring CK2 or Custom Nation stuff. Yes I know Customs can't have them atm but they SHOULD be able to. Just saying.) but with our councils and rulers now able to have obscure religions, they should start showing up IMO.

Managed to get Trin to respond to my previous thread through some miricle, maybe a dev can address this thread and these, since they're all barking up similar trees?

While briefly mentioned previously soqotra (small island off Yemen) actually had majority Nestorian Christian well into the 16th century, whether this warrant unique mechanics is of course up to the devs but seeing as Yazd starts as Zoroastrian giving that island starting Nestorian just for the sake of historical consistency would be nice
