    Default Missionaries?

    Ok I have a German Campaign going atm. I am doing fine and have next to no revolts anywhere in the Reich.

    However if you look at the religion map you will see that most of it is still Protestant or Catholic.

    Is there any point in me spending hard earned cash on Missionaries that have a really rubbish chance of converting them? Or should I wait it out for them to change themselves? Does anyone else use Missionaries (In Europe that is and not for converting infidels )?

    I never use Missonaries. They cost way too much with far too low a pertentage for my liking. I normally keep my stability high, so revolts are not an issue. Which means I just wait for them to convert in their own good time.

    Missionaries are good if you want the remaining 30% income from your provinces. If you need to convert many provinces it adds up.

    However if i'm catholic switching to protestant i wouldn't. They convert on their own. Only if its after 1650, when conversions slow/stop, do I make attempts at it.

    It IS worth converting your provinces though, especially big money ones. I always convert as any other faith that doesn't convert by event.

    If you have good missionary leaders conversion has a high rate of success, anything over 50% is good.

    edit: you will need to convert your protestent provinces to reformed, those dont change on their own i believe. If I were you in this game I would convert to protestant since that is what most of your provinces are. You will see a somewhat large boost in income after your STAB recovers.

    LOL! I have taken Calais, Artois, Barrois and Valenciennes from them. When the truce is over they will get pushed back to the Atlantic once more. Perhaps I may even give them a Vichy government and make them into a vassal. Lets wait and see.

    I already have a massive fleet. It is currently sinking pirates in the Carribean.
