Question concerning official religion

[wilpuri]

First of all, I'd like to congratulate the team behind CTW, I'm enjoying the game, thanks for that.

Now, on the question itself. I'm sorry if it is a dumb one or one that has been asked before. I'm currently playing as Novgorod and I've taken over some of the surrounding regions, some of which are pagan. My question is simply this: how do I change the official religion in pagan towns to Christianity? I'm getting a lot of unrest since most of the populace is already Christian but the official religion remains pagan.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you install the 2 pre-patch files already, see the stickied thread, they should help a bit already.

However, the religious unrest will be still more reduced with the next full release.

Is it not possible to change the official religion? Lithuania was pagan until Poland conquered it. I noticed that the official religion was quickly changed to Christian, and it said somewhere that is was set by the faction leader.

I'm not sure if the hot-fixes address this issue.

Well, you have two lines in the settlement details as indicator ...
one, for the absolute conversion rate
second, for the influence factors (buildings, characters)

If the second ine is merely your own religion, then it should also be displayed for the official religion, or, your faction leader (eventually the governor) is of another religion, then you have a problem ... ... but you can also convert your own characters, if the went to the wrong direction.

I'm having the same problem with Novgorod. The funny part is, I read in some other thread that increased religious unrest is a new feature in Chivalry as a blitzkrieg-counter-measure.

However, some fractions (like Novgorod) depend on such strategy (I mean, what am I supposed to do with 2 cities and 30 k right in the middle of nowhere). I, having defeated all of the rebels fom Novgorod to Poland (VH/VH) and having Poland on its knees, was unpleasantly surprised to see that 3 or maybe 4 towns which I have already conquered rebelled against me. And those were like towns with 500-600 population. Anyhow, I left them proclaim themselves independent, and then recaptured the towns and massacred the populations AGAIN. So, in the end, these towns had like 200 population each.

Next turn, they rebelled again, this time producing full armies and turned Polish, which is kind of weird, since they were rebels when I took them and the Polish haven't captured them previously. So, suddenly I was reduced to 4 towns on the brink of rebelling, "transferred" 3 towns and a butchered city to either the rebel fraction or Poland. I still have an entire army, but I wanted to ask what is the cause for my experience. Could it be a spy or some new feature?

I believe the problem was culture penalty (50%) in the captured regions, but how could 200 catholics be so persistent and drive out my garrisons, which have massacred the whole population twice. This must be some kind of catholic fanatism, and they must all be some new-born-inquisitors.

It's a good mod though, but I think it's a little bit overdone. After I vanquished 10 entire stacks of rebels and Polish (with decent unit diversity) and lost only half an army I am left with -30 k and half the territory I conquered???

Did you install already the 2 quickfix-files (stickied)?

However, the concerning regions need a building focus: Ie. build the according religious buildings first, when you've conquered them (while the counter-blitzkrieg factor remains also valid). As well, for the first years, it is advised to develop your settlements to increase your income for later times.

The next build will be quite different though in those religious things, plus Novgorod will be put to the Kiev faction, because we needed the slot for another new faction.
