I'm not sure if this really qualifies as a bug, but let me explain anyway.

Playing as Kingdom of Rus, I'd noticed that some Norwegian count had carved himself out a tiny kingdom in Sambia province, independent of any king. Unfortunately, his little kingdom bordered my enormous one, so an annexation was in order. :D I declared war, annihilated his army, and was besieging his one and only province when I got the "Heathens Splintered" event. The problem being that this Norwegian count and his province were Catholic. Now, a look at the event file shows that the Heathens Splintered event triggers when any two countries of different religions are at war. Well, it seems kind of silly for this event to trigger for wars between Orthodoxy and Catholicism.

Anyway... I guess I just wanted to know if is this a known and intended effect of the event, and if it's possible to rewrite it so that it only triggers for wars between Christians and REAL heathens.

Eh... Not really. Orthodoxy and Catholicism have had their differences, but they're hardly religious enemies.

Think about the game effects instead of the naming, basically it makes peace and affects piety. Now if you look at events in Swedish history (they fought Novgorod a dozen or so times) the diplomatic side of them was quite different from the figths against Catholic neighbours. The church supported expanding to Novgorodian regions (Finland) to convert to pesky Pagans, something that couldn't have happened if they had decided to conquer Danish Baltic holdings. Not religous enemies but religious competitors perhaps.
