NOT A BUG: WAD: Protestant Bohemia related...

Protestant Bohemia related...

Hi all,

I began a new game yesterday, after an idea given on the French forum: To try to play Bohemia with the Hussite heresy, and to spread "protestant" religion to other countries well before the reform event.

I managed to control some german minors around, and instead of diplo-annexing them or vassalizing them, I forced them to change religion, which is working fine.

I then spent some money on a missonary to convert the province of Erz (I think it is Erz), because, even if Bohemia is Hussite, its provinces remain catholic. It works, and I got my first protestant province in the game.

Shortly after, I get the random event: "Conversion of Heretics", and my protestant province was re-converted back to catholicism.

I stop the game and fear it is unplayable for the scenario I want. I'd like to know why if possible, BTW...

I think it's still protestant, but protestant provinces are supposed to be catholic until the reformation... I'd rather say that you getting a province to turn visibly protestant before the reformation is the bug.

U shouldn't be able to get protestant provinces before the reformation hits ...

Well, if I decided to spend a hell lot of money at the beginning of the game to turn my province to Hussite/Protestant religion, that should not be a problem ? But how is it possible that I am protestant without being protestant as random events act like I am catholic ???

Because as I said it shouldn't be possible

limitation of the engine

there are no bugs. repeat after me: "there are no bugs, only strange features"

unfortunately, I have to mark this as not a bug and working as designed, even though it is strange.

The strangeness is -

A) You are protestant.

b) You converted a province to protestantism, but if you had checked it it would still have displayed as catholic.

c) Conversion of heretics checks upon 'active religion' (to not convert protestant provinces until after luther-event) and finds a difference between your protestant state religion and your provinces protestant religion, since it is catholic in effect until Luther event.

d) Conversion converts province again - to protestant again

e) You become confused, check it up, and your protestant province still displays as catholic, since protestant province religion isn't activated until luther-event.

This problem is somewhat akin to the bug with CRC religion and 'conversion of heretics' striking catholic provinces for them, turning them to catholicism.


Clear as mud?

The small cross of Protestant religion clearly appeared on the map.

OK, but it should be documented somewhere (release note of 1.06 patch at least).

If I force-changed the religion of a foe after a war, during a peace resolution, does it have any effect at all ?

I mean, do they lost all their RM, get the prod malus in their provinces, and lose stab when converting back to real catholicism.

Just those effects, and a nice Victory Point bonus to you, of course.
