Questions - what else?

[Vricklund]

Prelude:

I've never played a game with colonisation before but in my current game as Oman, I had a 10k army cleaning the shores of the Horn of Africa in order to ensure that no native unrest would spoil my colonisation attempts. However, when these sanitary measures were completed and I sent my first trader to Mogadisco its religion changed to Sunni (<-- EDITED), not Shiite (Shiite being my state religion). I immediately sent a colonist but there was no change in religion, not even a 6th and 7th colonist could change their ways.

Questions/Finale:

Are there natives with there own religion and if so how do I know what religion they practice?
Do trading posts in NA keep their pagan religion after colonist-colonisation?
On full Naval, approx. how big a chance do I have of getting a random explorer (I would like to reach Bourbon and Mauritius before the Portuguese)

This sounds like it might be a bug. If I'm remembering right Oman's state religion was changed at some point from Shiite to Sunni, perhaps somehow the colonization process wasn't properly adjusted?

I don't really know though...

A bug in EU2? I've never heard such nonsense!

I'm not excluding anything at this moment, but a bug just doesn't sound right.
But then again, the entire Arabic Peninsula is pretty much f*cked up...

Shia and Shiite are the same thing.

The only bug would be the fact that the same religion is called different things in different contexts.

They're the same rleigion ... Now if u are getting an income penalty for it then we're talking bug.

 

[Vricklund]

Oh, sorry! What I intended to write was Sunni not Shia and yes, I do get a large Revolt Risk increase due to the religion.

Transliteration from Arabic etc.

Nothing..? Please don't let my slip-up keep you from responding! Do I need to remind you all that this forum has a reputation to live up to?

How high is the chance of success by sending a missionary?

Low and very costly, as always! Sending a missionary is out of the question, despite two CoT:s, Oman isn't exactly choking on its wealth right now.

Maybe someone else with a Suni religion colonized it first and the the natives had an uprising and destroyed the colony.

Nope!

you might not have known about it... the only way to know is to use a missionary Just use event 1004 and send a missionary... check the results and when it finally works you can always reload or something

Yeah, uh...reload...that's the ticket...I'll reload...

 

[Idiotboy]

Why bother in the first place?? You should easily be able to max out both sunni and shia.

 

[Vricklund]

Well evidently there are natives with their own religion! I've been experimenting for some time now and I found that when in colonising-mode you can clearly see what the religion of those unfortunate is/are. Only if the first settler you send is a colonist will there be a change in religion, a trader just isn't enough.

This still doesn't answer one of my question though: Do trading posts in North America keep their pagan religion after colonist-colonisation? There must be someone with the answer to this one, I'm hardly the only conquistador out there...

If you send a colonist after having already set up a TP, it'll change the religion and culture when it succedes. Is that what you're asking?

I use TP's as province holders against AI colonizers when I'm short of cash, then colonize those spots later...

 

[Vricklund]

That's exactly what I'm asking! I've been trying to get this to function properly for an hour every night since a couple of days back, but I decided to give it one more try... and guess what..? It worked this time.!?

Sorry for being such a nuisance! I'll be of then… to make Oman rulers of East Africa…
