How many centers of reformation are there?

[Average Casual Enjoyer]

Hi bois
I m currently doing Austria into HRE run, in age of discovery everthing went fluently.
Got diplo and religious ides completed. Now I m working on destroying centers of reformation.
I couldnt find this info on the wiki page so could u tell me how many centers will be there in total?
Thanks

If I remember right, three centers of reformation is the max for the new christian religions.

[Tulduil Iphukiir]

There is a maximum of
- 3 Protestant CoRs
- 3 Reformed CoRs
- 1 Anglican CoR

There is no guarantee that all of those spawn. I've had games with only 3 Protestant and 1 Reformed CoRs.

As said above both Protestant and Reformed may spawn 3 centers each, but it is possible not all will appear in every game.

Thank you guys, btw how do I get rid of the center when it has spawned outside of an OPM?

An easy way is to attack that nation and take every province (or return to other nations or release nations) except the CoR.
Then attack again (either trucebreak or after the truce) and force-convert.

Alternatively you can conquer the CoR (or diplo-/force-vassalize the nation) and manually convert it if you have enough money and Missionary Strength.

CoRs automatically disappear when the Age of Reformation is over (usually in 1610).

dont have the centers religious zeal on them?

[Omniconda]

the first centre will always have 10 years of zeal meaning it cant be converted with missionarys but if its a capital forcing religion through peace will convert the capital and destroy the CoR if the first one isnt in a capital you just have to hope it doesnt do to much converting while you wait out the 10 years
the 2nd and 3rd can be converted as they dont give zeal in the COR province tho its faster to force convert in a peace deal if in a capital taking the province and using a missionary will be fine

As emperor its best to use claim border claims age bonus to get a claim on most of the HRE countrys so you always have a way to jump onto the CoR as they spawn
