Vassals religion reverting?

[egill]

As France I cored Tangiers and Ceuta and converted them to Catholic.
When I release them as Morocco vassal, their province religion stays Catholic but the state religion reverts to Sunni

Can I get them to be Catholic? Both provinces have separatism of 8.5

Alternatively, how do I get value from North African cores. The 75% autonomy floor is pretty severe on their economy.

Morocco's country religion is Sunni. You can then force convert them to Catholic in the 'Subjects' interaction sub-menu.

You get value from North Africa by stating the region, but the admin costs are gigantic.

thanks braunschweig

I haven't got the stating DLC

if I force convert thru subjects' interface, how can I handle 100% liberty desire?

The majority of their cores (or cores development, can't remember which) is still Sunni. The Majority needs to be made Catholic first, then you can release them as a Catholic Vassal. It has nothing to do with their starting, or native religion.

States are in the base game. Estates are part of The Cossacks DLC.

Stating Berber lands yourself is generally a bad idea because they have Hostile Core Costs (HCC) which increases the amount of paper mana needed to core by 50%. Handing those provinces off to a vassal is fine, but you generally don't want to create a vassal that has HCC (like Morocco) if you plan on feeding them more land and integrating them in the future - you'll pay the increased costs at integration.

You can convert them to a March, spend prestige, develop their provinces, or pay off their debts to reduce LD. Developing is a short term solution though as they'll have a higher base LD from development. The LD from Force Religion also decreases with time, so it might be worthwhile to develop if you're not bobbing hard and need the mana elsewhere.

this isn't what I found - I did convert them to Catholic but they still reverted to Sunnin state religion when released as vassal;

I have used subject interface to force catholic state religion.
reduced liberty desire to 65 so far thru support local ruler, grant province and improve relations
also have parked a reasonable sixe army in Morocco in case they blow

They will have other cores on the map, that are still Sunni. It applies to all cores, not just the ones you own.
