Patriarch Authority events (and I think pious evnets) rarely happen now?

This whole thing smells to me like a hidden "nerf Russia" thing, but they choose to do it in a subtle way by pressing it across the Orthodox nations as a whole, because the rest are rather insignificant (power wise) in the game and will be gobbled up by the AI either way. It was an oversight I think.

Before you could get 100 very fast which was pretty much always a good thing, now you get a choice between a short term boost or a long term choice, not to talk about that orthodox is a very strong religion.

And? The only nation that uses it is Russia though. The rest are been absorbed 90% of the time. I dont say it should be a nobrainer but a middle compromise would be the best. Dont f@ck everyone just for a single nation.

Not having it ruins Balkan and byzy players to as the expand into the ottos.

Realistically 20-80 years should be the complete turn over time target (1-4 generations).

PDS greater problem is that they need to work PA to be the same as piety where there is a real trade off between -ve and postive

The issue is that a bunch of these flavor events are on a tri-annual pulse. However, Patriarch authority events are at a frequency value of 10, while all other flavor events are on a pulse of 100. So if you have anything that gives you alternative flavor events, you're almost certain to get those instead of the orthodox Patriarch authority events.

The thing is that Russia is probably the one Orthodox nation that doesn't need high PA. You need money more than you need manpower. As for missionary strength, you'll probably take Religious ideas anyway.
