Conversion script/Rebel Factions & Adding new religions:

[Æthelstan Half-King]

Hello,

I am wondering about a few things that I hope someone with more experience in modding may know the answer too before I go and spend hours doing something someone has already established is impossible.

Just to lay out my idea simply, I am wondering if it is possible to modify the Mongol invasion so that, they start of as Pagan, and then using the conversion script from the Teutonic campaign, could be converted to Islam OR Christianity?

I know there are mods that make them pagan, but, assuming it is possible to somehow use the conversion script so that they could go either way (Christian or Muslim), would it be possible to add in a new religion - Nestorian Christianity, and have the script convert them to that?

My other question is to do with the fragmentation of the Mongol empire. In the Britannia campaign there is obviously the Baron's alliance as a sort of 'Roman empire rebels' type faction for England. Would it be possible to use this script to make the Mongols splinter after a certain date into the Golden Horde and the Ilkhanate?

Thank you for any advice you can give.

This should be no problem technically. The only thing would be that the selection window you ask the player to convert with has only two options: "Yes" and "No". so you need to cook something to define whether the conversion goes to Christian or Muslim.

This is no problem either. Check the tutorial section on how to add a new religion (if there is none in the M2TW section, check the BI/RTW section).

Yes, but you would need a free faction slot. Most mods already use the maximum of 30+rebels factions, so that could be a limitation when starting from another mod.
