impossible to convert

[LLWH]

as poland, your east lands are orthodox and you cant convert them. instead of amount of time, it says ---, so what do you do with these kinds of lands?

[Trolli]

You could take a look in the missionary mission tab what the reason is. Do a mouseover over the needed time to see the + and - points which effect the duration (which is endless, that means "--" for you) of conversion. Normally you should be able to convert them but it seems you collected some - points for missionary strength.

[LLWH]

three things it says:
non-accepted culture
orthodox
development

[The_Dead_Artist]

Hire a missionary strength advisor and boost your stability to max to get high missionary strength, Also claim Defender of the Faith if you can afford it for more conversion strength. You can also invest in Religious ideas if you're looking to convert provinces. Use diplo power to chamge the province to an accepted culture or promote culture in the government tab.

if there is religious zeal in province, u cant convert
or maybe u had an event which makes ur missionary power low, look at the modifiers

[Fanstar1]

missionairy strength is lower than negatives, so there is 0% progress every day, so never convertts

As Poland, why do you even care about Heretics? Just take Humanist ideas and ignore them.

Convert to Orthodox. It's better than Catholic.

You have 3 options.
1. Convert to Orthodox, its really a better religion (espeically with Third Rome), make sure you secure any Cathloic alliances you want first, otherwise it will be a little harder after you switch to Orthodox.
2. Convert the provinces, either hire a missionary +2 advisor, religious ideas, state edicts (if you have the DLC for it). You will also get events and decisions that can boost missionary strength.
3. Humanist ideas, and just forget about wrong religion because you wont have any penatly for it.Once you have all the Polish ideas you also get +3 tolerance of heretics which is strong when used with Humanist ideas.

[LLWH]

it says there are no potential religions. i still have orthodox in many lands

[Shai-Hulud]

Dude...just wait. You get decisions periodically to increase your missionary strength, and you can take religious or humanist ideas.

You are not supposed to be able to mass convert on game start.

Orthodox has a built-in resistance to conversion.

It's +1 conversion resistance.

Which is A LOT compared to most religions which have no bonus or even a penalty that makes them easier.

Only Muslims, Shinto, and...i think Jews, have +2 conversion resistance.

You'll need to raise your missionary strength until your total is positive in that province.


OR you can purposefully get the rebels to fire and let them win to convert you to orthodox (you lose some prestige but if that saves you a lot of head-aches in the long run, it's worth it). (you need at least 51% of your development orthodox for the rebels to change your religion, but they auto-convert any province they siege that isn't protected by a fort's ZoC, so it won't take long to get that amount if you disable all your forts. And you can usually say yes to their demands as soon as they have enough territory converted to save time).

You can't normally change religions easily, aside for Catholic, which has some sub-religions that open up later. Most other religions don't allow it.
