Reformation not starting

[vv142]

I started a game as Switzerland in 1.33. Year is 1517 and the reformation has not started yet. Has anyone else noticed something similar (or is it maybe just a strange RNG driven case).

On a side note, there seem to be very few wars in both HRE and Europe (messing up my merc providing strategy), but it was already the case in beta.

RNG. If catgolic reform desire is too low, reformation will not fire. Possible for Reformation to never fire.

Are you sure? Wiki says Refrom Desire ticks up 0.2% each year, so it should trigger eventually.

There are plenty of events, that allow for lowering the Reform desire. Also, there has to be a catholic country in existence with a province that is eligible to be a center of reformation. Had a game, where catholic Europe was eliminated by 1505, so no reformation was possible.
4000 month mean time to happen, is 333 years, divide that by the number of eligible countries, and throw in RNG.

No Catholic country in Europe by 1505? Some kind of crazy horde world conquest?

More like concentrated effort of Orthodox and Muslim world. Iberia and France lost the new battle of Tours; Italy, and half of HRE turned light green; while the rest were forced to embrace the original Christianity.
