Can you overcome Recent Conversion in Eu4?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Today we embark on a theory crafting campaign of Eu4 where we stack any and all missionary strength that we can get to try and overcome the -100% missionary strength from recent conversion. As always, no exploits, and I will not use things I consider exploits, like disabling any DLC. As always, Ironman compatible, achievement supported and no custom nations use.

You actually need more than 100.3 missionary strength, since you have 10 year temporary modifiers you'd need 101.1333 strength to convert in the 10 year window. Which you are actually able to achieve.
I mean that's fair, it does also... literally take time to convert them I guess!
you need more, +2% advisor modifier is for 6 years
@@marcinkusmierzak991 yes, but you can hold of on it and pop the advisor modifier literally in the last second as you start the conversion (in theory) as that modifier doesn't depend on anything else apart from having the level 3 advisor up
@@LemonCake101 I know but you have 6 years to complete the conversion, not 10. This would require 1% more than doing it in 10 years. When bonus expires you can't finish it
@@marcinkusmierzak991 oh I see your point! huh, fair enough. Well, thankfully I missed the religious buffs from max stability, and the ability to change your primary culture to Spanish for Holy Order purposes...
Austria has a permanent +2 percent missionary strength from a mission, the Netherlands has 1 percent missionary strength vs heretics for 20 years, Poland has 1 percent missionary strength vs heretics permannent, saxony has +2 percent missionary strength for 20 years, prussia has +1 percent missionary strength for 20 years
Ah, thanks. That helps quite a bit to be fair, I remember going through the mission files and being left relatively disappointed. Well, thats at least what 7% more to add to the list. Good to know!
This is definetly better than depending on ai.
There is a reddit post about some dude tag switching 23 times to get to 240% dicipline
@@aduck4202 well, it wasn't 240%, it was around 210% I believe, and to be fair I got to a slightly better count personally in a theoretical run myself
@@LemonCake101 nice 😎👍
We need to spam florry until he does this run!
Please don't, but this may be beyond florries capabilities...
@@LemonCake101 haha, alright, I won't!
Did you mention that a muslim province has -2% local missionary strength? Also a tier two tax building gives 3% local missionary strength.
I did not, well spotted. Thankfully, getting +3 stab for 1.5% missionary strength, the spare 1% from the run itself and the ability to take holy orders makes it cancel out somewhat. Well done!
Muslims have a decision that gives 2% against heretics
Uncolonise egipt
Form marocco
Form kongo
Form bisantium
Form Nowogrod
In less than 20 years
What a legend
no Novgorod actually, they aren't formable
Not quite Novgorod, but yes. I wish Novgorod was formable :(
Nice to see you back again on YT! I certainly don`t think that Uncolonizing Jerusalem is directly an exploit... but that just relies on the Fact that Pdx didn`t patch it out in like 2 Major Patches... but anyways this was definetly one of if not the biggest and most thoughtful modifier stacking video that you`ve ever made and that I`ve ever seen on YT :)
Btw I am really sorry that the Holy War Conversion Modifier is only 3% and not 10% as I thought at first... that probably made your life a little bit more annoying to find the missing seven percent... although half of this comment section is again full of ideas on where to get more modifiers from... This Game is just to Big to handle I guess ;)
Well, its good to be back!
No worries about the second part, but thanks for bringing it up! I would have never found out about it myself, and its still 3% that went towards it. And of course, when you make a video on a topic, finally all the Eu4 experts on missionary strength reveal themselves. Just the nature of these things, its the reason I even said at the end: tell me what I missed!
@@LemonCake101 I know, I know... after they see your videos they always are Experts on the Game ;)
@@thestudentYT oh, I should probably watch some of my own videos back then, it might work on me...
Arent there modifiers from the parlament issues(atleast 1%)
Or having the faith supramacy in the league war which would give 3%(?)
Tbh not entirely sure but cool vid regardless
I believe the league war win requires not being Shia so you lose around 6% from Shia monuments, and parliament requires... well a parliament which I don't think is doable as a theocracy but I may be just wrong there actually.
Great video. Very relevant.
The timing could be better, yes.
*unless i missed it in the video* you didn't mention legalism VS mysticism of being Shia, the religious estate as well should give more missionary strength though a few of there estate privileges?
amazing video tho, i will totally maybe never do that :D
I am afraid those you did miss, I did mention mysticism, and the estate buffs. But thanks for your support!
:[ damn, thank you tho for correcting me :D@@LemonCake101
@@zimreal1 no worries, happy to educate. Hope you enjoyed the video regardless!
9:15 aged worse than week old milk sitting in the Arizona sun
I mean if anything, I am correct, so it aged perfectly?
Wow beautiful stuff, feel sorry for that poor missionary though, his job is to teach people about the one true catholic religion, then gets told actually no the one true faith is fetishist, no wait Shia
Look, what the one true faith actually is, is still up for debate. What is important is that the nations people all switch every time we change our mind.
Truly a run that no human would be willing to do.
Except for lambda. Alghtough it is debatable whetewer you can consider him a human being.
As a self confessed Lambda fan, that would bring insane joy to my heart...
*clicks on gaza* “we need slaves” oh boy that’s some unfortunate timing
so it could have been better, but the video went out a full day before the current events as it where...
@@LemonCake101 lol yeah
@@goldenfiberwheat238 ... could have been worse, but it could have been much better too!
Well well, this is going to be a pain
... it was :)
and here i was struggling to convert prague from hussite
To be fair, your probably not doing all this by 1445
I think clergy estate can give you 2% missionary strength, from religious culture and one other privilege
Yup, it can, and it’s mentioned in the video!
I swear you just look at modifiers and how to stack them 14 hours a day
I wish, but RUclips doesn't pay me enough for that yet :(
Day *19354* of asking, for maximum possible Garrison size or Max attrition for enemies.
I don't think its been 19354 days, but again I have a long list of fun stuff...
Average EU4 siege time:
both ibadi and sunni province have -2 missionary strength so you nedd more missionary strength
yup, missed that. Thankfully, there's around another 10% missionary strength from other places I also missed mentioned in the comments.
Lmao, you forgot +1,5% from 3 stab
Yeah, a couple other peeps mentioned it as well. Sometimes you miss what's right in front of you!
Didn't it used to be only -20%?
Its -20% on trade company provinces
@@LemonCake101 Right you are
*that one eu4 patch when horde had +100% missionary strength*
Remember guys, Leviathan moment
One of the patches of all time, that's for certain. I personally loved when they said 'this is placeholder art' in the dev diary and then released it... with the placeholder art.
@@LemonCake101 It was a placeholder DLC because they thought it was too long since the last cash-grab
@@beefyblom eh, the content and design was there technically, I think it was more of a failure of QA, but what do I know.
There is also the additional 1,5% for having
3 stability
Excellent video btw
ofc I would miss something like that! Oh well, 103% overall it is!
LOL@@LemonCake101
@@Bolt892 sometimes its the things right in your face you miss!
So we now we can remove having slaves in the province if we want to try this
@@Cropak_Napeik yup, don't need to go for that! Also getting closer to not needing to have someone force religion on you too...
I always hated how OP zealots are. I'm happy to know there is an effective strategy to deal with them.
Happy to help, I believe everyone should incorporate this strategy into their runs!
When you said there was still religious conflict in Jerusalem today the universe took it very literally
I am sorry, I won't do it again...
good lord, and I thought I knew how to stack modifiers.
The fact that those +10% vs heretics boni don't go away when you swap religion is insane.
It took me 5 irl days (not straight by coming back to it over time) to actually get there.
And yes, a lot of testing to see if they stay was done. They do...
Boni lol
@@JohnsonPadder it is the plural of bonus tbf...
Masterful! Finally a video one can send to all the people posting their 'almost one faith - ruined by missionary zeal'-campaigns
Exactly, no more excuses.
You forgot to form Sardinia-Piedmont to get a triggered mission event called "The Order of Saints Maurice and Lazarus" for another permanent +2% missionary strength.
Mentioned already in the comments, but yes, I missed it!
Its really been a while since the last upload! I have had a lot of things going on IRL, including but not limited to my computer breaking on me and taking 9 painfully long days to fix, as well as being bedridden with an illness for another 5 days in a row. A lot of fun! But I should be back now for a much more dense upload schedule, and I don't intend to ignore you for another month, I hope.
Otherwise, no this video has by far been the most painful one to do routing wise. I know I have said it before, but this one really takes the cake!
I was missing your videos. Glad to see you are back! :)
@@extinctzebroid Thanks for the support, good to hear!
Tbf Orthodox Congo isn't that impossible in our reality. All we need is Russian ships arriving to Congo quicker, than ships from Catholic nations. Their leader would convert to Christianity anyway.
well, the issue is Russia would need to send a ship, and lets just say it would take them a while to get a warm water port...
With current Portugal, that's impossible.
Thank you for the detailed and well-researched video on how this is definitely not possible
Happy to help!
Religious conflict today? You knew….
well, to be fair the Ottomans are keeping it on the down low, aren't they? History ended in 1821, right?
Imagine if they made an achievement out of this;
Implausible, not Impossible
It would instantly need a difficulty category of its own...
Pals, don't tell those crazy guys that try to convert you in comment sections about this video.
oh no, that would give them a literal 100% success rate...
we have to form england, ralization: oh no please no fifth monarchist
I am sorry, but 10% missionary strength is a hell of a drug...
Random question, have you ever seen a european great power tag loose to a minor native tags badly enough theat the european power has release nations in their mainland provinces?
I have seen it 3 or four times, and in every single one of those cases it was england vs. North American natives. And those was resulted in england havg to release alençon, isle of mann, cornwall, etc. Being released as native tribes with access to native ideas.
Not in 1.35, but from 1.31 to 1.33, natives could hold their own, ranging from doing okay to being shining teepees on a hill.
Honestly, no, but I mainly play MP where thats... not going to happen even with a bad England player, but I am yet to see that in SP...
1:30 Tbf treasure fleets and crown colony manpower goes BRRRRRR. That being said I don't think you can get it by the 1500.
I mean its doable and possible, certainly. Just... putting pretty much every other achievement in Eu4 to shame in the process in terms of difficulty
Thank you for the cake !!
Happy to be of service!
Did you count the act of uniformity (+1) and the advancement of religion act (+0.5)? And I think there are other national decisions that increase it, but I might be wrong.
I did check the national decisions, but they run into issues with all the religion flipping you have to do.
@@LemonCake101 Ah! Thanks!
WOW! I wonder how long does it take to make such a video. That amount of random game mechanics and research must be insane. I wish you best luck, because you are probably one of most random creative people out there in EU4 community.
This one was around 5 days. Not full time, but 3 days (plus a week of mental routing, but that also involved several other routes I had in mind) of routing, and around 2 days of recording/editing (again, not doing this full time)
Was there a reason not to pick Sardinia-Piedmont missionary strength mission? I might've missed it
Great video once more Mr Lemon
I believe I went through the possible formables for the missions, so if there is missionary strength there, yes I missed it! Well spotted.
@@LemonCake101 Just a side note to say I have been really enjoying your progress with making these modifier videos more and more entertaining with each one, I hope you keep the work going! :)
@@derpi686 aw thanks, the support means a lot! I will keep doing my best!
Not sure, but aren't there some Iberian Holy Orders that give Missionary Strength aswell ?
Yes, but I was wrong about their requirements, turns out for holy orders all you need is Primary culture Spanish and your good to use them.
that amount of Missionary Strenght Stacking is still legendary @@LemonCake101
I thought you may get like 30-40 and than some obscure percentage scaling factor that somehow pushes it over 100 %.
But stacking flat 1-10 % bonuses until you have 100 is insane xD
If i may suggest an idea for a future video. As boring as it seams, but stacking idea-cost reduction relative early into the game would be very interesting. Sure it's probably capped at 90 % or something, but you also get Mana-refunds for ditching groups. So it would be interesting to stack it as it would allow for a playstyle were you can switch ideas like your shoes. Imagine fighting a war with 2 mil idea groups, peacing it out with espionage diplo and than core it with admin. In peace time some Admin Groups for scaling!?
P.S. Sorry for my absolute butchering of the english language :)
@@marishaberle6144 glad you enjoyed, I did set out on the project hoping to get to at least 50% to justify the video since I had a global 24% in a Mughal run a couple patches back, but I was very happy to manage to get it over the edge!
@@marishaberle6144 No worries, language is good. I will need to check with idea cost reduction, but for some cases like AE reduction stacking, you can get to the cap in literally 5 modifiers so it makes a video under a min long, hence I will need to check if the modifier stacking.. also makes an entertaining video in the process too. But I will give idea cost reduction another look, having playing MP a lot I am very aware how strong it can be.
“Religious Zeal” is the worst fucking modifier in the game I will die on this hill. Half of Italy got converted to Protestantism by centres of religion in my Florence->Italy game and I had to wait forty fucking years to reconvert them. This is what made me despise Protestants. I am a Protestant.
Honestly, yes, I agree. I would understand if it was like 5% to make conversion harder if it has been recently converted, but it can be really crippling.
What about stability +1.5? Have i missed you mentioning it?
You did not miss it, I missed it in the video, so well spotted!
I was thinking about that while i was going for a one faith wc run. Also it is good to have extra power because development also reduces the misionary strength. I believe it is not that high in gaza or jaffa but still you need to be able convert in a matter of years so yeah...
Yeah, thankfully I believe I there is an extra almost 10% at this point you can get from the comments too. I can't believe I missed +1.5% from stability...
You can also use a Unno reverse card and just go Confucian and have both religion groups already assimilated.
Very Confucian answer - how do I convert a province that's impossible to convert? You don't want to convert it.
You can even dial it to eleven by starting with mughals and then turning Confucian. Move your capital to the new world(or Australia) to avoid colonial nations. Most wholesome world conquest ever.
"Missionary Strenght" is actually a measure of how much of a hype beast the man being sent is. The higher it is, the more hyper.
👀
I think Florry should find out ab out this channel and try to do all these challenges for real. Or Lambda in that case
Would be a dream come true, I’ve been watching flirty for half a decade now and Lambdaxx is a God in his own right
I like the video, would be better if your script was a little less repetitive and used more active language.
I like to think I am still learning, so hopefully we will get there eventually, but in many cases I do agree that you end up saying very similar things. I do my best to break it up with bad jokes, but it can certainly be better!
You can by modding it out (the morally correct choice)
Yes... that's why I have to clarify standard game setup, ironman compatible. Otherwise reaching something like 220% discipline becomes as easy as giving England +120% discipline in their starting ideas.
Israel gonna need all that missionary strength for gaza
👀
I once managed to, playing as ireland in the extended timeline mod, crawl back and preserve celtic paganism from only a few provinces left, in a situation with aggressive zealot spread. Without any special tricks, too. You can do anything if you pour resources into it.
Oh absolutely. I would say it sounds fun, but extended timeline and fun is a combination of words I rarely find myself putting together. But people have done Zoroastrian one faiths, so anything is possible!
Hang on, how where in the process do you convert the province to sunni so it has recently converted for when you convert it back?
Or are we adding that as a secondary pet country that will do that for us?
well, its more of defeating the modifier in theory. I do have to just kind of 'hope' the enemy shows up in the first place, yes.
I'll be honest, if i had 100% missionary strength, I'd probably just convert the other provinces that didn't have recent comversion
24:19 "By some SHEER miracle..." Oh, I see.

Europa Universalis (Singular)
What can I say, RUclips is great at determining the game in question!
Local zealot: I am so into this new fate, nobady will convince me otherwise.
Som random guy conquer, half of Europ, Africa and India, change religion, state and country a half a dozen times, and is favored
in random events.
Local zealot: I have change my mind, it obvious that he is god
I will be honest, if someone also arrived at my land and did the things mentioned here I would also be convinced that they clearly know the one true faith. Expecially since this involves changing what the one true faith is a couple times.
Did he forget stability ?
why's the admin at 23:18 console edited ? good video regardless
I need 3 stab to flip governments, so I gave myself a bunch to do it. Well spotted, and thanks for the feedback!
But this isn't some claim of I did this run legit myself, this is a demo of the run, and for the demo, the console was used very heavily.
I have no knowledge of how the fanatic zeal of the weird English government works, but can it coexist with the last government mechanic thingy mentioned? As far as I'm aware both of them use the government tab.
From my testing many a moon ago yes, because it is different section of the government tab.
There's prob like 10% more missionary strength that can be squeezed out, which theoretically should let the runner not get some of the great monuments that are annoying to get, while also letting them convert the recently converted province fast enough
I missed stability 1.5% and surprisingly a couple mission trees. I think the monuments are not the parts you want to skip though, skipping the trade good flip and the being enforced religiously thing is my top of the list stuff.
So it may be theoretically possible, but good luck doing it in a real game.
The average modifier stacking run, yes.
All this work and you didnt include +3 stab ;_; cool video!
Thanks! But yup, missed the stab, as mentioned :(
Alternatively, forcing religion conversion on OPMs converts it
Yes, but that's both not a 25 min video, and also pretty well known compared to this.
Lore of Can you overcome Recent Conversion in Eu4? Momentum 100
👀
I recently tried to do a muscovy to hansa to russia campaign in ironman mode for the permanent mil bonuses. I rage quit shortly after forming hansa. For some stupid reason in order to form hansa you need less than 25 core provinces, but in order to see the decision to form hansa you need less than 20 provinces. Like wtf. Why do you need to be under 20 provinces to see the decision. Its so arbitrary and stupid.
Yeah, its a bit of weird one, I think the idea is forming Hansa you should be a small trade league, and not a Major empire kind of deal.
What about a ruler trait for 1%? Did I miss that one?
In video, mentioned but that mention took a grand total of 3 seconds so I can see why you missed it, no worries! Good thing to have in mind though, shows good awareness.
All I can say is this: God Damn
I will take it as a sign of enjoyment!
I hate missionaries in eu4
👀
I have discovered, that if you declare a war with deus vult casus belli, then the wars have different names depending on your religion. For example: "Ottoman Jihad against Poland" or "French Crusade against Tunis". I wonder, what are other unique names for different holy wars for different religions?
That's stored in the localization under 'unique name of holy war' and pretty much any religion that allows holy wars has unique names (when clarified in the localization)
Dosent muslim provivences have -2% missonary strentgh malice?
They do, that's mentioned in a couple other comments. Thankfully, I missed around 1.5% missionary strength from stability and a couple other places, so it works out in the end anyway. Well spotted!
