CK2 Dev Diary#27: Continued Converter Capabilities

Hello and welcome back to this second part about the Converter update which will be released tomorrow.

As I mentioned in the replies last week, Immortal rulers from CK2 now get the Immortal Ruler Personality in EU4 and will not die of old age. You can also pick “Immortal” in the EU4 Nation Designer, although it is rather expensive. Rulers cannot become Immortal during gameplay in EU4 though.

Ideas for European Tribals - because before every tribal country got standard, boring ideas. Now they can become fearsome warriors!
european_tribal_ideas = {

start = {

hostile_attrition = 1

merchants = 1

}

bonus = { war_exhaustion_cost = -0.10 }

trigger = {

capital_scope = {

continent = europe

}

OR = {

government = tribal_despotism

government = tribal_kingdom

government = tribal_federation

government = tribal_democracy

}

}

free = yes


deep_roots = {

defensiveness = 0.1

}

warriors_grit = {

shock_damage_received = -0.1

}

ruthless_raiders = {

leader_land_shock = 1

loot_amount = 0.10

}

ancestral_pride = {

war_exhaustion_cost = -0.10

}

arctolatry = {

infantry_power = 0.1

}

side_by_side = {

land_morale = 0.1

}

hero_of_the_legends = {

free_leader_pool = 1

}

}

Improved religions: Now is a better time than ever to convert over your favorite heresy. All converted religions have received new effects, new unique graphical icons and also make use of religious systems such as Fervor and Aspects. Some effort has been made to update the EU4 events to account for these new religions by checking for the religion rules rather than the specific religion where it makes sense. E.g. checking for fervor rather than Reformed for fervor events.

That covers the largest Converter changes, but there have been plenty of little fixes and tweaks which you can read about below:
Functionality has been added to adopt your EU4 game to the status of your CK2 one in matters such as dynamic provincial development, government ranks, making the CK2 heresies and religions use the new religion features of EU. Time has also been spent to fix old issues like missing flags for rebels, errors in province mappings, and missing descriptions for the converter religions.

All Converter Religions and Heresies will now have a syncretic faith bonus.

Added uses_cults trigger. - Added uses_personal_deities trigger.
Replaced some religion event triggers with the new triggers added by Marko. I have been pretty restrictive and only done this to events that could actually benefit from it.
CKII->EUIV Converter: Converted countries that used to have default national ideas now have custom ideas.

As well as the Converter, we'll also release the full version of 2.6.2 tomorrow. We managed to fix the performance problem we had during the beta, fix a few minor bugs, correct the province name box length update some French and German localisation, and add a popup and pause setting to Call to Arms. We'll post the complete patch notes tomorrow when the patch goes live.

That’s all for now, we hope you enjoy the updated Converter when it is released tomorrow! And in the meantime, don't miss today's Medieval Monday livestream with Emil and Steven - 16:00CEST on https://www.twitch.tv/paradoxinteractive

Do any religions besides Catholic get reform desire, or is that still only Catholics? Does the existence of CK2 heresies alter the initial reform desire for Catholicism?

Any chance the top holding in Jerusalem no longer has the name of a crusader castle in the pre-crusade starts?

No. They're still a converter thing. :)

Do you know if any of these converter religions were the majority in any EU4 provinces? The most major heresy I can think of that is missing are the Hussites, who maybe would be in a few provinces in Bohemia and Poland. Lollardy was never large enough to dominate a province AFAIK, though it is represented by events. :p

I guess the solar symbol is for Zunists

Zunism is not a heresy and I'm fairly sure it already was in the converter, hence why I went with Mazdaki, i seem to recall that's the one nicknamed the religion of light.
 
All of this sounds great. Looking forward to a new game soon. :)

Any word on what next week's diary topic will be, assuming the diaries aren't going on hiatus for a bit?

No they weren't as far as I know. That's why adding them isn't a very high priority :)
If we do add religions to the base game we want do it as well as possible.

This kind of continued support and dedication from PDX to improve CK2 is the only reason why I've bought every single DLC for it instead of doing a Jack Sparrow and enjoy it all for free anyways.

Zunism is already a religion in EU4 (for converted saves) but use the Inti symbol (the smiling sun) in my memory. Though it's not an heresy, perhaps Paradox add an unique symbol for them.
 
It would be neat if some heresies were more likely to convert to protestantism/reform. I think a group like the Lolldards, for example, would take a look at protestantism and get on board with that, ASAP. It would be a little weird for them to look at each other the same way that they look at Catholics. At the very least, I hope they can use the decision to convert to protestantism or reform, even though they're not Catholics.

Zun already has an icon when converted, yes.

I'm fairly certain that the new sun is Manichaeism- its symbols are the sun and the the cross.

The Arabi writing is Hurufi.

Oh, that's a point.
 
Just to be clear. Will EVERY single nation get their own unique ideas?

Not a chance. It's not even in the ruler designer anymore. How will you even get a hellenic character, much less realm?

Could you clarify what the idea of unique or non-generic ideas will be? For some reason I'm thinking every nation gets its own idea set generated but it keeps looking like I may be wrong. I am super excited to try this out if is the case but I'm really worriedly are not the case
 
Can we get these religions added to atleast the EU4 Nation Designer? I know adding these religions to the 1444 start would most definitely not happen, but could we atleast get them in the Nation Designer so we can play around with them without having to convert a CK2 game?

Now I'm really worried >_< I just remembered how there's a generic idea set or something and how you guys said almost no nations don't have generic ideas anymore D:
