    Default Is this a mistake ?

    Hi, I tried your mod very recently, i'm new to this. After the vanillas, it's a relief because, as much as I like CA and their games, the historical feeling is much more satisfying with your mod.
    Congratulations for this fantastic work.
    However, I've seen something that may be a mistake, and that bugs me because of this need for historical accuracy.
    I started a game playing visigoth and When I settled in Aquitania I noticed that there were more unrest because the city was christian and that I was pagan ... but the Visigoths WERE Christian in these times ... actually they were BEFORE entering the Roman empire in 375. Actually, several of the major invading Germanic tribes were christians (As it is configured in the Vanilla game BI). They were heretical arianists (cf. Arius) but christians. I think they were converted by a guy named Ulfila.
    The Visigoths (and the Ostrogoths I guess), the Burgundians, the Vandals were all Christians (arianists).

    I was thinking of raising the unrest of the 'Arian' trait but this would then make the unrest absolute (in other words no hope of letting up)... w/c would be just as unrealistic. best soultion would actually be to create a new 'Arian' religion, just like Mylae did for Judaism and Buddhism... but THAT takes a lot of work... (adding the religion itself isn't that bad, the triggers and traits are the killer)

    This is something i found strange too, the Visigoths building shrines and sanctuaries to their old gods instead of building churches and priests.
