Religious Center flipping countries without rebels?

[Karabas1543]

Hey guys,

I'm playing Brunei, which means I get to take advantage of their naval prowess to convert provinces to Sunni via merchants.

Something I've noticed: small countries that have all of their provinces converted sometimes change religion without rebels breaking out.

Are there new religious-center associated events that enable this religious flip?

I'm not complaining, I just haven't seen this happen before the last expansion.

If more than 50% of your development belongs to a religion, you can embrace it, right? Think I remember seeing a decision to swap Shiite (cost 3 stab etc) when playing in the Persian region.

Animists can Flip to other religions easily

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. I wonder though, doesn't seem a politically good choice - most of those flips I've seen the country is the only Sunni power surrounded by eastern religions.

The ones I saw flip were Confucian and Theravada.

I know that all Muslims can now convert to a different sect if their capital is of that religion. Maybe they added a similar decision for other religions in Asia? I haven't checked but it would make sense.

Well when I was playing as ajim I noticed I was able to convert shia via accepting demands of shia rebels before they pop up and become shia without any penalties

Hm. But why would AI do that? Muslim Indian nations can have like 99% of provinces be of other faiths and they don't flip.

Many Indian nations have high heathen tolerance in their idea set,
