Why Persia is Shia in 1444

To encourage the historical outcome in the region. We do not always use the completely historical setup if doing so means the game will never develop in certain ways we want it to be able to.

Bohemia almost always goes Protestant because of events. It seems like you could add events like this to Persia.

The two things I want to see most is a rising Persia and if the muslims control the deccan a DHE that causes shivaji to start the Maratha revolts. The Maratha revolt Is one of the biggest revolutions and onesided revolutions in history.

DHEs for the Maratha revolts are already in the game, in both a generic flavour in flavorDLH.txt and a Mughal-specific flavour in flavorMUG.txt.

Wasn't it the Safavids that brought Shiite Islam into a majority religion in Persia? It'd make more sense to give a Muslim leader with very high stats the ability to fire a decision for very high conversion rates.

oh...well then again I suppose the lack of a Maratha revolt is due to the Mughals never appearing either. So I guess id like to see a strong Persia and the timurids atleast attempting to push into north india. Some games they move a lot of the time they seem to just vassalize rather than push to delhi.

There's a generic version of the revolt too. It just doesn't succeed very often, because usually if a Muslim power holds the Marathi provinces during the allotted time frame, it's strong enough to deal with the rebels because it's eaten most of India.

The Timurids do attempt to push into northern India. Sometimes they even form the Mughals. They just don't push into Central or Southern India very often, because it's easier to keep pushing eastward towards China rather than directly locking horns with the Bahmanis or Vijayanagar.

Qara Qoyunlu has noticeably less than 100 base tax, so taking 25 Persian base tax (maximum viable amount in a single war) and coring it will give you considerably more than 20% of your base tax being of Persian culture.

I know that, but there's a misconception that culture acceptance is based on the size of your primary culture, which is patently false as it would mean that a Sami or Basque nation would accept all the cultures.

Wouldn't new event chains simulate the spread of Shia better and more historical?
