I am the OTTOMANS. I didnt read the religious stuff properly. Sue me.

It is pretty lazy to ask other people to tell you how things work - especially a mechanic that is described in only a few paragraphs.

:rolleyes:  You are the OTTOMANS and you didn't even read the PIRACY stuff properly.  That you didn't read the religious stuff, either, goes without saying.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

England has Synod of Emden, so he can flip 3 spaces to Prot at will, so if we are counting on him being 1 VP away from his needed 25, we need to make sure there are at least 4 prot spaces before he can get another VP there.

Speaking of religion, I am somewhat surprised that the HRE is not included in the list where Protestant rebellions can be provoked in the rules. You'd think that it would play a part, as the TYW is not that far after the last turn of the game.

True but during the timespan the game covers, the major fronts for the Reformation were in the 4 religious struggle areas that VQ has.

Ulmont's up.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop.

The TYW is at least a generation away from the time period of VQ and, besides, the Treaty of Augsburg served as a pretty solid concession to the Protestant princes and ensured, at least for a time, that there would be no major religious strife in the HRE.

Do I understand correctly that HRE is also immune to religious conversions?

Aye.  None of the spaces in the HRE can ever be converted and none of the Protestant spaces in her borders count for VPs.

Yes. HRE's only dog in the religious hunt is that they have that secret religious preference.
