Sorry if this has been posted before already. I tried “Convert saintly bloodline“ and “Lose saintly bloodline” with no luck.


If I obtain a saintly bloodline in the christian faith and later convert to another religion, so I still receive its benefits? Will it just deactivate until I reconvert?

As far as I know the bloodlines still breed normally, but if they have a "must be Christian" condition the bonus effects are suppressed on any character that isn't publicly Christian.

The saintly cultural bloodline is active if you are the same culture as the founder, and doesn't care about religion.

The saintly jewish bloodline is active if you openly profess a religion in the Christian group (can be different from the founder).

Most saintly bloodlines are only active if you openly profess the same religion as their founder.

I can confirm what @mrinku said - they breed normally even when inactive. :)

There is currently a bug with inactive bloodlines - while most of their features are inactive, leadership bonuses (like damage against religious enemies) still work on inactive bloodlines.

I forgot if I asked you this already but did you determine this by looking at the code or doing the math on combat, or just from the tooltip?

Just from looking at the combat bonus summary on the character. I don't think there's a way to look at the code itself, since that'd be in the engine rather than the game files - well, at least no way that I know of. :)

Your implication may be right, though, in that it may be a display thing but not apply in reality. One easy way to test it would be to add a bloodline with a siege bonus to the game, and see if it gives an actual bonus when besieging. That should give a 100% reliable answer since it can easily be compared to besieging without the bonus. Perhaps I'll try it one day to find out for sure. :)
