How do I handle the Reformation (Austria)?

Hi,

So I had to restart this run as I went in completely blind.

This time, I watched both Budgetmonk and Reman's videos on the Reformation. However, in my game they have a -100% missionary strength modifier. When it appeared in an OPM, the OPM was officially Catholic so I could not force religion. I reloaded and now it's in one of Bavaria's non-capital provinces with the same modifier so taking it is completely pointless.

What do I do? I thought I could just do what the guides say but it seems Paradox have made changes.

Thanks.

The Missonary strength is always at -100% for the first few years after a province converted to a new religion. You can check this within in the province info window on the right side there are several modifications for the province including the missionary strength bonus. And if you check those small icons you get an tool tip saying how long this bonus will last.

If the center is in the capital of a small country you can force convert them and it's going to despawn the center.
