Sep 02, 2020 Crusader Kings 3 also includes a toggle labeled “same-sex relations.” This changes the game world’s view on homosexuality from the default — in which characters can be homosexual, but it. Aug 26, 2013 Not everyone likes warmongering, surprisingly. Probably the quickest way to change is raid down some holdings until you grab a female catholic prisoner. Make her your concubine, and then you should get a decision to change to her religion. Otherwise you can wait and hope that some good christian will send a missionary to you, but that can take. Dec 11, 2015 About nomads, the province they occupied instantly change to the Khagan religion IIRC, so it doesn't really count since it's different than tribal gov.

Religions and religion groups are defined within the /common/religions folder.
Religion group[edit]
Each religion belongs to a religion group, for instance:
- Catholic and Orthodox religions belong to the Christian group,
- Sunni and Shiite religions belong to the Muslim group.
Note that some behaviors are hardcoded based on vanilla religion groups:
- pagan_group: unreformed Pagans cannot demand religious conversion
The religion group is defined as a group tag with an alphanumerical ID. A religion group must have graphical_culture defined, and one or more religion.
An example of a religion group definition (with religions) would be:
Below is a list of all parameters that can be set for religion groups.
| Attribute | Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| color | color | The color used for the coalitions -per religion group- map mode | color = { 0.25 0.5 0.75 } |

Example[edit]
Localization[edit]
- <religion_name>: short name of the religion. Used with
[Religion.GetName] - <religion_name>_DESC: description in religion tooltip
- <religion_name>_full: longer name, shown on the map and in most UIs, and
[Religion.GetFullName]
Adding icons[edit]
Adding new religious icons is a fairly simple process. First you will need to modify the files religion_icon_strip.dds and religion_icon_strip_small.dds within CKIIgfxinterface. In religion_icon_strip.dds, expand the canvas of the image to the right by 32 pixels for each new icon, and in religion_icon_strip_small expand it by 20 pixels for each new icon. Once you have added your new icons, you will need to edit the file 'generalstuff.gfx' within the CKIIinterface folder (. Increase the noOfFrames = line by the number of icons you have added. Once done, you can then use your new icons in your religions, from left to right is 1-X.
Religious head[edit]
Religious heads can be established via the landed titles entries. You must first create a title of any rank, and add the variable controls_religion = X into that title's entry. For example;
The holder of the above title will thus appear as the Religious head for the Monophysite religion/heresy. The religion = monophysite line is also recommended to ensure any/all random characters generated for that title will be of the same religion, without it, if the province within which the capital = variable is set is catholic, you may end up with a Catholic Religious Head of the Monophysite Faith.
Holy sites[edit]
Holy sites are flagged at county level via the landed titles entries.
For maintenance it is preferable to override only the counties and flag the holy sites via a separate file under /common/landed_titles/, without duplicating landed_titles.txt
It is also possible to define holy sites for heresies, though the game will fallback to the one of parent religion if not used.
Crusade target weights[edit]
Crusade target weights are set inside common/landed_titles/landed_titles.txt entries.
Note that the A.I. will never start a crusade in case there are no targets weights for that religion.
Papal succession[edit]
Adding a religion to succ_papal_succession succession laws, and defining some religious titles, will cause the game to CTD when opening the religion tab.
A bit of interface modding is required so that it works.
Reformation[edit]
Change Religion Cheat Ck2
If a religion has a reformed version within its code, it will inherit the on-action for reformation.
Ck2 Religion Command
If you want to change the interface for reformation, you can edit file in folder 'religion_features' and search for 'buttons' to change. Then you need to change ui in the file 'religion_reformation.gui', which set in 'commonreligion_features'.
For example, you can edit the
and change it to:
in the '00_feature.txt' and then add:
in the 'religion_reformation.gui' in order to set third doctrine in the Reformation.
Interface[edit]
Ck2 How To Convert Religion
With patch 3.0 the interface corresponding to a certain faith can be modded by adding the variable interface_skin = { x }. X represents the name of the interface folder in gfx/interface. More interfaces can be mixed, in vanilla this happens to the Zoroastrian, Indian (2 interfaces), to the Zun, African and Taoist religions (3 interfaces) and to the Bon religion (4 interfaces)
