Bishops can not even be trained to be better at the job, because the smallest piety with a heretic so far has been 7. Not a single bishop has failed at burning a heretic without turning into one.
I wouldn't like using massed assassins, because after their targets are killed, they are far from the next viable target. Also, brothels and inns required are low on my construction priority. However, the situation demands adaptation.
I don't want to complain, because I'm loving this mod. However, I'm thinking the heretics had perhaps been buffed a little bit too much.
EDIT: Unless the seriousness of the heretic problem is tied to the difficulty setting, as I play on VH / VH.
