Religious Improvement Project
Hello Everyone,
The Religious Improvement Project is a submod for HIP aiming at increasing immersion in the sphere of religion.
All current plans revolve around Islam, my personal area of expertise, but once currently planned features are released, I am interested in fully expanding into covering more religions. The current release is intended for use with the Cacao1 release of HIP with all default options (EMF, full SWMH, ARKOpack). If anyone wishes to use it with a different configuration, just ask for a new branch of RIP to be produced and maintained for that configuration, and I'll see what I can do.
The latest release is 1.3. Major feature changes of this edition are Kiev 867 starting changes, and a rework of Rise of the Zaydi events and Zaydi Caliph inheritance. Minor features include removing Zikri, and changing b_salamiyah to a temple and giving it to Husayn al-Fatimid in 867.
Features
12er Shiite Succession
Muslim Noble Ranks
Umayyad Caliphate Events
Kiev 867
1.3 Changelog

Features
12er Shiite Succession
The 12er Shiite Imam has very specific rules regarding succession. This feature enforces them; the Imamate is now a title, but has lost the barony of Medina. The Imam can designate one of his sons to be his successor, and only that son will inherit the title. The Imam and his heir begin imprisoned by the Caliph; historically, they both die in house arrest, and the hidden son of the heir becomes the 12th Imam and Mahdi.
Rise of the ZaydiMuch as the Isma'ili may rise to found a Caliphate, the Zaydi may also attempt a rising, but they're unlikely to succeed. Any Zaydi Sayyid may be asked to lead the rebellion, or rarely, a weaker rebellion with a randomly generated Zaydi Sayyid may occur. The Zaydi Caliphate is a title that must be earned; if the inheritor of such a title is not a pious, virtuous man, the title is destroyed.
Muslim Noble Ranks
The glut of Sultans and Caliphs across the world has been curbed. Now, Arab and Berber Kings are named Emirs, Emperors are Sultans, Dukes are Sheikhs, but independent Dukes are Emirs again, with Caliph now only used for certain titles. Certain cases do break this rule, so this section is still undergoing development. Currently I know that Greek Orthodox wives of Muslim independent Dukes are called Sultanas, and Bedouin Nestorians are called Sultans. If you see more cases, please report them.
Umayyad Caliphate Events
If they gain an Emperor-level title, or if a rival Empire or religious head gains land close enough to threaten them, an Umayyad ruler may get the option of declaring himself Caliph, a rival to the 'Abbasid Caliph (or whoever may usurp the Sunni religious head.) This will hurt Sunni religious authority, but will propel the Umayyads to new heights, making them an Empire-rank state.
Kiev 867
While not strictly religious, it's something that's bothered me for a while; Dyre the Stranger continually gets conquered by his neighbours, and Kiev never develops into a center of Russo-Norse culture. This strengthens Dyre's position, giving him new Radimichi and Severiane vassals, adding 6 provinces to his realm. Additionally, the Krivichi have been moved east, to a more historical position, and the Polochiane tribe added in the Polotsk region.
