Unify Islam

[Siu-King**]

Quick question, does it require you to convert EVERYTHING including trade companies?

 

[bly08]

yes

 

[Siu-King**]

yes

Shit...how is that even possible in this new patch -_-

PS: I'm on Ibadi

 

[bly08]

What do you mean, because of low missionary strength?

Easy enough. I'm Shia, so had to convert pretty much everything from Sunni (no need to for the decision though), and full legalism all the time. Missionaries are way more important than missionary strength, and Islam gets plenty. Depending on who you are, forming Persia also helps.

For trade company regions you can use the Muslim trade node conversion power to convert non Muslim provinces. I used it to convert Dhimmi provinces to Shi’a as the Bahmanids in India.

pick a country with converting idea
culture swap to persia, form persia, keep your old ideas
pick religius ideas
now you got a goverment with converting, national ideas with conversitation and religius idea group
enjoy

note:if you manage doing this as byzantium you can also break maximum tolerance of true faith

To clarify, you must not have heathen provinces. Having Sunni and Shia provinces is okay.

While annoying with animist conversion power, you do still get 6 missionaries with religious + dotf + 3 triggered modifiers, though you might want to hold off on taking Rome until after you get the 2% boost from unify Islam.

I would say that outside getting the achievements for it converting as Islam is just not worth it anymore and that Islam is a humanist faith now. You CAN do the above, but simply taking humanist and sitting on ~2 tolerance of heretics/heathens with -2 unrest from the group is so much less painful, and the heretic tolerance branch of humanist is significantly earlier than the heathen one.

Just wanna go for Ibadi 1 faith lol
That conversion strength is painful, so I'm considering grabbing Unify Islam

If you want that, in this patch, then you should have planned for it from the beginning.
Even if older patches the main problem for Unify was converting faster than you conquer.
Now with the lackluster MS for Islam thats even worse.
You pretty much want Unify if you want to One-Faith now unless you like to flagellate yourself.

And the fact that the TC center mechanic turned out to be more of a nice joke rather than a serious thing doesnt make it better.
I expected to be able to make once center in each TC simultaneously.

Don't know who you're playing as but forming Persia helps a lot with conversion.

Oman -> Mughal -> Malaya -> Persia

having 4 missionaries right now & relying on religious vassals and it sucks, I need to DoW Otto soon and finish off tributaries.

Rum has +3% missionary strength vs heretics in their NIs, it's a major help in converting other Muslims. Would recommend if possible.

And give your ottoman government. There is no point

I don't think I understand what you're saying here. Isn't ottoman government one of the best in the game, or is there something I'm missing?

Ohhh, I see. Haven't played Persia at all since the update so I wasn't aware of this. Thanks!
