conversion isnt available in MTW2, sry for the bad news

Yes it is. They did it with lithuania. its just an extremely painful to script it into the game in anything more then name.
But he just wants to make it catholic from the start i think. Which is significantly easier.

well i dont know anything about scripting it that way but as far as just hitting a button or destroying all religous buildings to build a church instead whatever religion is in there now. do you know how to change the starting religion?

I think what he's asking is how to mod Byzantium into a Catholic faction, not how to implement a conversion event within the game.

Though this tutorial was written with MedII in mind its essentially the same in SS for kingdoms.

You probably have to change the descr_sm_factions but its more complicated if you want to have crusades and the pope and all i believe. Not to mention buildings if you want to build churches. and then priests. and then messing around with the interface...

yah i just looked at that link kaiser posted and it seems like a pretty in depth process

Nah its not that bad, I've actually doen it before my self (A Catholic Byzantium). Made the game too easy for them in my opinion, but its pretty easy mod. Outside of changing a value in the descr_sm_factions, all you need to do is give them the ability to build catholic churches/chapels. Make sure to give them the southern style of churches (same style of Spain, Italian factions etc).
