How's the "convert everyone to Buddhism" plan going?

Final Chapter: A Tale of Three Buddhas

Hey, it's about time for the triple one faith part to conclude, so let's not waste any time and get to it!

20210517203209_1.jpg


Now that we're the masters of the world, we don't need the military bonuses anymore. Goodbye, 10% discipline...

20210517203251_1.jpg


Finishing up our final annexations.

20210517204159_1.jpg


Goodbye, 15% AE

20210517204331_1.jpg


Ok...

20210517204336_1.jpg


We've done it! We've finished a Theravada 1 faith*!

20210517204347_1.jpg


*Aside from Kotagede for the missionary there...

20210517204359_1.jpg


... and London for the missionary there, too.

Now, some might say this isn't a REAL one faith. But honestly, it's not the big of a problem for me to try and get tengri or hindu zealots to rise up, and as long as I have a fort next to the province, I'd be able to complete the 1 faith in full AND keep the missionaries by letting them reconvert the respective provinces. And even if that's not good enough, I'm going to colonize every last province, making each 1 faith after this require more provinces than the last. So I think that's a fair compromise.

20210517204503_1.jpg


Next up, Mahyana!

20210517204525_1.jpg


And you know what, we've been red all this time, let's become the NEW Mongol Empire!

20210517210445_1.jpg


And our first order of business is to completely clean up the map!

20210517210456_1.jpg


Gonna be easy.

20210517211340_1.jpg


Super easy, even.

20210517211859_1.jpg


I really don't like Spanish Alaska...

20210517211909_1.jpg


Let's make it MONGOL instead

20210517212347_1.jpg


Like so.

20210517212637_1.jpg


Let's finish S.A!

20210517212826_1.jpg


Another continent completed!

20210517213001_1.jpg


Time for one last trip down undah.

20210517213357_1.jpg


G'bye, mate.

20210517215400_1.jpg


Ah, yes, the funky religion screen from the past, broken by adding in Alcheringa. Either way, we've converted about 300 provinces so far.

20210517220313_1.jpg


But, we can go faster. Now that there's no on left to pillage and raze, I think we need to embrace our spiritual side...

20210517220449_1.jpg


Eh, not important.

20210517220521_1.jpg


Who cares.

20210517220601_1.jpg


NOW THIS, THIS IS THE REAL SHIT! More missionaries speeds us up CONSIDERABLY, since 1 missionary = 12 provinces converted per year.

20210517220724_1.jpg


And because it's thematic, why not go divine ideas?

20210517220817_1.jpg


New heir, cool.

20210517220820_1.jpg


Eh, admin points aren't useful. Heck, points aren't useful anymore.

20210517220848_1.jpg


Hmm, this might be a hard debate to pass...

20210517220855_1.jpg


BUT WE DID IT, REDDIT! Uh, I mean, PDX FORUMS!

20210518200816_1.jpg


Spreading nicely throughout the world.

20210518203758_1.jpg


We have so many points, I wanted to see how long it would take to culture convert our capital. Yeah, not happening, at least not like this!

20210518220819_1.jpg


Conversion machine going strong!

20210519200440_1.jpg


Less than 100 points for tech. Lunacy, absolute lunacy.

20210519203507_1.jpg


As if there was any doubt as to where it would spawn. I DID, however, have to move my capital to a NA coal province and concentrate dev there for it to spawn. And it's WAY past when it should have spawned, too!

20210519203956_1.jpg


*sad Napoleon noises*

20210519210902_1.jpg


Eh, let's take it, embrace it all!

20210519225852_1.jpg


Peasant rabble? WE DON'T CARE, JUST TRY AND FIGHT US!

20210519232852_1.jpg


And now, with only 3 provinces left (London, that Indonesian one, and Beijing for the old buddhist religion to get the missionary. Once again, internal coding quirk triggers that modifier for only Theravada), we've finished OF #2!

20210519232900_1.jpg


LOOK AT IT!

20210519232905_1.jpg


IT'S SO PINK!

20210519232915_1.jpg


Proof I'm not lying.

20210519232946_1.jpg


LAST ONE, LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

20210519232957_1.jpg


Down to 65% unity. Surprisingly high, actually.

20210520204757_1.jpg


Alright, let's move our capital again. Middle of nowhere, USA, sounds good to us!

20210520204809_1.jpg


And this is when I learned of ANOTHER bug in the code. Basically, if you try and repeatedly concentrate dev to your capital, the game won't let you without a cooldown period. BUT, if you exited and relaunched the game, that cooldown period wouldn't exist, so you could open-concentrate-exit-repeat and make a MEGA capital in no time flat if you wanted to!

20210520214106_1.jpg


I like llamas, so let's have one in our country!

20210520214321_1.jpg


OH, not a llama, you meant a monk. Well, I GUESS that's ok, too....

20210520231929_1.jpg


No more golden era for us. But really, DID it actually end, though?

20210521225341_1.jpg


KEEP ON CONCENTRATING!

20210522002250_1.jpg


New heir again.

20210522103608_1.jpg


HALFWAY THERE!

20210522105107_1.jpg


Last heir of the game.

20210523145020_1.jpg


ALMOST! WE GOT THIS IN THE BAG!

20210523151317_1.jpg


And with Khanbaliq (Beijing) converted...

20210523151326_1.jpg


Vajrayana...

20210523151331_1.jpg


ONE FAITH IS COMPLETED!

20210523152003_1.jpg


And you know what, to celebrate, no more slavery! As a treat!

20210523152115_1.jpg


True Blue Empire.

20210523152118_1.jpg


Genghis can SUCK IT, MY MONGOL EMPIRE WAS BETTER!

And it's one faith, too. So the only real problem internally that could show up would be cultural issues. But...

20210523152124_1.jpg


We've been working on that for some time, too!

20210523152127_1.jpg


Not a one culture, although it's DAMN close. IDK if you remember, but there was a separatism bug going on then where no matter how long it's been since it was conquered, the "separatism" modifier wouldn't go away, even after ticking into the negatives. Meaning you couldn't convert the culture there.

20210523152402_1.jpg


BUT, I did manage to get all but 3.5% of the world to become oirat culture! And the ones I didn't, it's just a matter of time.

20210523152419_1.jpg


Lotta cash to splash.

20210523152438_1.jpg


Just a LITTLE over our GC.

20210523152503_1.jpg


Mongol can into space!

20210523152540_1.jpg


The last bastion of outsider culture in the old world iirc. And even then, not for long.

20210523152556_1.jpg


Province list. SUPERKHANBALIQ IS MASSIVE!

20210523152653_1.jpg


Endscreen stats.

20210523153405_1.jpg


Some stats I found interesting. 257 kills by us, seems kinda low. But that GOD of a general, I don't want to forget him!

20210523173858_1.jpg


And here is Superkhanbaliq. So many houses, you can't even read its name!

20210523173907_1.jpg


THIS IS WHAT PEAK PROVINCE PERFORMANCE LOOKS LIKE, YOU MAY NOT LIKE IT BUT HERE IT IS!

20210523173918_1.jpg


You can even see it from SPACE! 2248 dev in one province in the middle of nowhere, absolutely perfect.

And that's it! We did it, after a lot longer than I thought, I've finished ANOTHER AAR! Gonna be going on a vacation for a while, but I do have another AAR idea already cooked up. Might be short, might not be, we'll see. But for now, I gotta go! Hope you enjoyed this wild ride!

It's already quite a powermove to do a WC and a One Faith Run, but to do that three times in one single save is insane. Of course helped by a buggy patch but still quite a powermove. Thanks for finishing this a year after date, thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to see the next installment ^^!

Good job on completing your goals.

Out of curiosity, why did you choose the theologian over the preacher?
