Kara Khitai and religion?

**A_Su** · November 19, 2013, 02:45 PM

Will the Kara-Khitai make an appearance in 2.4?

In addition, will we have the opportunity to convert to a new religion in 2.4? For example, say we are the kypchaks will we be able to convert to Islam? Or the Khwarezmians to Shiism?

Kara Khitai are pagan, I think. They probably won't be able to convert.

Well majority of people in Arabia were Pagans once.....if you know what I am saying.

We're not speaking historically, here, in terms of game mechanics, I don't think it'll be possible for them to convert.

a Sub-Mod already made it possible,for example Sindh starting as Shia and later on have an option to become Sunni.

In fact when we would add Khara-khitai in the next BC versions (I think I can already say that the map would not be extended in the 2.4 version, so Kara-khitai won't be a faction ), they would be scripted as "heretic" (because Kara-khitais were buddhist but also really tolerant with nestorian-christians, sunni and shia muslims, and other manicheans. A big part of their administrators we christians, manicheans and muslims, and there was religious freedom), but they could then convert to one ore another religion and choose their religious policy.

I am working on someting new about religious conversion, especially for pagans and heretics, and also intra-muslim.

This is great! this would be a game changer,Imagine if you could do this to any faction but something that makes sense,by making sense I mean you can't just make the KoJ to change to Hinduism,lol.....making sense mean like Makuria becoming Sunni or the Kypchaks becoming Eastern Christianity and etc.

Perhaps when the next version comes out you can make the Mongols, the Kypchaks and Khara-khitai unaffected by other  religions in a province they own, not sure how to script something like that .... yet. I think this would be historically accurate as well seeing that the above factions weren't in any way nearly motivated religiously, unlike the Muslim, Christian and Hindu factions.
