Best religion for good monuments

[jimmybackman1]

So which religion do you think can get the best monuments? I would probably go with Hindu(especially the nations that can get the buddah personal deity since that unlocks the Buddhist monuments as well).

The dharmic monuments are great, no question. Hindughals are an absolute monster. But the dharmic religions aren't very good, so they need those strong monuments to be even close to competitive as a religion. Catholic is still the strongest.

Yeah were speaking strongest from a monument standpoint, not strongest in general, why is Catholic considered so strong, cus you can become emperor?

No, although that's a nice perk. It's strong because of the many wonderful benefits you can get from spending papal influence. If you're a major colonizer or conqueror and convert a steady stream of provinces to Catholic, you'll love the results.

Ah I always found those buffs nice but not THAT impressive, Orthodox with its massive manpower feels nicer imo. :)

Catholic was buffed a few patches back. Orthodox is definitely second class now.

Yep, Hindu/Buddha has the strongest monuments. I miss that bug where you could get Buddha as any Hindu nation. Loved having Hindu Mughals that could exploit all Buddhist monuments as well. 25% autonomy TC provinces FTW!

Is there any mod that makes that deity aviable for all hindus, anyone knows? :)
Guess you could form Mughals as Majapahit as a way to go around it otherwise. :D
