{{icon|religion}} '''Religion''' represents the belief systems of the ancient world, usually polytheistic and encompassing a wide range of gods, and important to everything, from daily life to the highest political echelons. In the game, every [[state]], [[Characters|character]], and [[Population|pop]] belongs to a particular religion, with their interactions playing a significant role in loyalty and pop happiness. The choice of pantheon gods and omens in the state religion forms an important part of the modifiers and bonuses that a country has, and is the one of the main interactions that a player will have with religion, with the systems of holy sites and sacred treasures providing more auxiliary goals and flavour. Most religion interactions can be managed through the [[File:Menu religion.png|28px]] '''Religion''' tab.


== 可用的宗教 ==
== State religion ==
{| class="mildtable"
Every country starts with a predefined '''state religion''', which can be viewed just above the pantheon deities in the [[File:Menu religion.png|28px]] Religion tab. Every religion has bonuses that are applied to the entire country, and also determines the base deities that are always available regardless of the population or holy sites of the country. State religion also has a small effect on diplomacy—countries of the same religion get a {{icon|opinion}} {{green|+10}} opinion bonus with each other. There is no malus for having a different state religion.

== Religion affects …==
 
=== Interaction between states ===
Certain [[Diplomacy#Diplomatic_actions|diplomatic actions]] receive bonuses if the states follow the same religion, or penalties if they don't.
 
=== Interaction between state and characters ===
Characters not following state religion have their maximum loyalty lowered by {{red|-10}}. They are also less likely to be elected for office in a Republic.
 
Characters can be forcefully converted at a base cost of 25{{icon|rel}}''Religious Power'' and a loss of 40{{icon|loyalty}}''Loyalty''. They may also convert on their own if they seek to gain popularity or government offices.


Certain events may result in religion change. Ptolemaic Egypt has the option to embrace Kemeticism, while in India characters tend to convert to Buddhism.
There is no default happiness bonus or penalty for pop religion, but pops will receive a {{icon|happiness}} {{green|+4%}} happiness bonus for each deity in the state pantheon that matches their religion, making it useful for polytheistic states to take on pantheon gods of religions that are widespread inside their country - though spreading out the deity happiness bonus between deities of different religions means a smaller happiness modifier for each individual religion. The happiness of state religion pops specifically is also be increased with the {{icon|state religion happiness}} '''state religion happiness''' modifier, which is given by various omens and deities, [[inventions]], [[laws]], [[heritages]], and more.


=== Interaction between state and populace ===
Additionally, the percentage of pops following the state religion determines the nation's {{icon|zeal}} '''Religious Unity''' value, which is the main component of {{icon|omen power}} omen power.
The {{icon|happiness}}''[[Population#Happiness_of_pops|Happiness]]'' of pops not following state religion is penalized by {{red|-5%}}, and a further {{red|-10%}} if the governor of their [[region]] is not of their religion. The percentage of pops following state religion is the nation's ''Religious Unity'' value, which is a major contributor to {{icon|omen power}}''Omen Power''.


A pop's religion can be changed to the state religion via '''conversion'''. Converting individual pops can be performed in the city menu and the macro-builder, and costs 20{{icon|rel}}''[[Power|Religious Power]]'' per pop. Alternatively, the ''Religious Conversion'' [[Provinces#Governor_Policy|governor policy]] provides a monthly chance of converting a pop in the affected province, which is '''5.0%''' + '''2.5%''' per point of the governor's {{icon|rel}}''[[Attributes#Finesse|Zeal]]''. Governors always convert pops to the state religion, regardless of the governor's personal religion.
=== State Conversion ===
{{main|Decisions#Religious Conversion decisions}}
The state religion can be changed by decision if there is at least '''1''' character of the new religion in the country, and either '''50%''' of the non-slave pops in the {{icon|capital}} capital, or at least '''20%''' of all the pops of the country and at least one {{icon|pantheon}} pantheon deity, follow the new religion the country intends to convert to. Switching religions can only be done once every 10 years and costs {{icon|pol}} {{red|200}} political influence and {{icon|stability}} {{red|30}} stability, also giving a temporary drop of {{icon|loyalty}} {{red|−15}} Loyalty for all characters that are followers of the old faith.


Certain events may also result in pops changing religion. The Isis cult is spreading around the Mediterranean, causing pops to convert to Kemeticism, while in India pops may convert to Buddhism.
== Character religion ==
Each character also has their own '''character religion''', usually but not always the same as that of the state. Characters that do not follow the state religion have a {{icon|loyalty}} {{red|−10}} maximum loyalty modifier, and pops have a {{icon|happiness}} {{red|-6%}} happiness penalty if the governor of their region is not of their religion - notably, this includes even state religion pops, if their governor is not of the state religion.


== Omens ==
Characters can be forced to convert if their {{icon|loyalty}} loyalty is at least 60, at the cost of {{icon|tyranny}} {{red|+5.00}} Tyranny and a temporary drop of {{icon|loyalty}} {{red|−30}} loyalty for '''5''' years. There are also a few events by which a character's religion can otherwise be changed — governors may switch to the religion of the regional capital if the Religious Conversion policy is not being used, office holders may take on the religion of the state that employs them, the heir of a monarchy may switch to the religion of the Royal Tutor, and rulers may get an event to switch to the state religion if they do not follow it.
[[file:omens.png|thumb|Hellenic omens]]
An Omen can be invoked for a base cost of 200{{icon|rel}}''[[Religious Power Points]]'' and a base duration of 5 years. Only one Omen can be active at a time and it cannot be changed until it expires. Unlike in ''Europa Universalis: Rome'', an Omen can never directly fail - giving you a negative effect.


The names and descriptions of the Omens depend on your religion and culture. A Greek country following the Hellenic faith will for instance seek the Blessings of Ares, Athena, or Tyche. While a Roman one will instead turn to Mars, Minerva or Fortuna. This is also reflected in events and text that reference the gods (and of course in the variety of events available).
== Territory religion ==
{{SVersion|2.0}}
Every territory has a '''dominant religion''', which is the religion with the highest number of pops in the territory. This is the religion as displayed for the territory in the religion map mode and is generally considered the religion of the territory for most purposes, particularly for [[colonization]], moving the {{icon|capital}} capital, and many [[events|event]] and [[missions|mission task]] checks.


===Omen effects===
Most importantly, there are also territory modifiers applied if the dominant religion is not the state religion, which makes them harder to {{icon|conversion}} convert and {{icon|assimilation}} assimilate. Such a territory where the '''Dominant Religion is not State Religion''' gets the following modifiers:
There are 8 omens to choose from, which all give a positive effect:
* {{icon|conversion}} {{red|-25%}} Pop Conversion Speed
* {{icon|assimilation}} {{red|-10%}} Pop Assimilation Speed
* {{icon|demotion}} {{green|+5%}} Pop Demotion Speed

{{SVersion|2.0}}
! Effect
{{icon|state religion happiness}} '''State Religion Happiness''' modifiers are applied to all pops of the state religion, regardless of what religions the pantheon deities are of. Unlike with {{icon|integrated culture happiness}} integrated cultures, there is no base state religion happiness modifier, though modifiers from other sources can still add up to a significant amount that makes conquering provinces with the same religion significantly easier.

''The god was well known for his destructive, chaotic nature, and how he revels in slaughter and battle. He is often portrayed as a lover for Aphrodite, and as a rival to Athena. He is often at a loss against the latter, being outwitted and crushed by the smarter and more logical goddess.''

''Mars has been the patron god of Rome since time immemorial. From the Field of Mars and the many shrines and temples dedicated to the god's honor, to the stories of his sons Remulus and Romulus who founded the city; Mars is one of the most important gods in our pantheon.''

As well as being the caretaker of the dead, he is known for his wealth and access to the minerals of the earth.''
 
''There are many stories of the heroes who travel down to his realm to rescue someone, several of those leading to tragedies akin to Orpheus.

''There are innumerable stories of how the deity came down the realm of men, infatuated with one mortal or another, eventually leading to the heroes of old being born.

== Pop Conversion ==
|-
{{SVersion|2.0}}
| Blessing of Melqart
<section begin=conversion_body/>{{icon|conversion}} In every [[Territories|territory]], a single pop can undergo '''conversion''' to the state religion at a time, as long as there are any pops in that territory that can convert and are not otherwise busy (e.g. assimilating or promoting). Outside of events, pops will always convert to the state religion. Conversion progress builds each month, with the exact progress determined by the sum of all {{icon|conversion}} '''Pop Conversion Speed''' modifiers. Once progress reaches 100%, the pop will be converted to the state religion and another pop will begin to convert, if there are any other pops that can be converted. The speed of conversion is influenced by many factors, particularly the [[File:Policy religious conversion.png|28px]] Religious Conversion [[governor policy]] and the dominant province {{icon|culture}} [[culture]] and {{icon|religion}} religion being different from the state culture and religion. Note that it is possible for conversion to be completely stalled. 
| ''The great wandering Lord Melqart will bring wealth to all our realm. With greater riches comes greater prosperity for our people; ensuring our security for the time being.''


''Even though the god was originally the patron god of the Phoenician city Tyre, he has become well known all across the Phoenician world, as well as with all their trading partners and relations.''
All else being equal, it is generally preferable to convert pops to the state religion, though the differences in happiness are much less than with unintegrated [[culture]] or culture group pops and can be ameliorated by adopting deities of the pop's religion in the pantheon (though this will necessarily come at the expense of the happiness of pops of other religions), which generally makes conversion less important than [[assimilation]]. Under some circumstances it may also be beneficial to retain pops of other religions in order to have continued access to their deities, though the strong effects of religious unity on {{icon|omen power}} omen power means that it is still generally undesirable to have too many other pops of a non-state religion.<section end=conversion_body/>

== Pantheons ==
{{SVersion|2.0}}
{{icon|pantheon}} Every nation has a '''state pantheon''' consisting of four deities (also called '''prophets''', '''yazatas''', or '''paradigms''', depending on the religion), one for each category: '''War''', '''Culture''', '''Economy''', and '''Fertility'''. Every nation can select from a fixed list of their religion's deities to fill the slots, with some deities available to all countries of that religion and some with stricter requirements such as culture, tag, or finishing a certain [[mission]] task. In addition, polytheistic nations can also select deities from other polytheistic religions if they own that deity's {{icon|holy site}} holy site, or a high enough percentage of their pops follows a given religion. The percentage required depends on the deity's rarity: '''Very Common''' deities require '''5%''' of the nation's total pops to follow the deity's religion, '''Common''' deities require '''10%''', '''Rare''' deities require '''20%''', and '''Very Rare''' deities require '''40%'''.


======Cybelene======
Every deity that is not part of the state religion gives a stacking {{icon|conversion}} {{red| −20%}} conversion speed malus for all pops in the nation (regardless of whether or not their gods are currently represented in the pantheon).

Each deity has a fixed '''passive modifier''' which is in effect as long as that deity is part of the pantheon. Additionally, every 5 years (adjusted by the {{icon|omen duration}} '''Omen Duration''' modifier) one can invoke an '''omen''' from one of the pantheon's deities, which confers an additional, usually more powerful, bonus. The current omen's effects are multiplied by the nation's current {{icon|omen power}} '''Omen Power''', with the base effects being reached at '''100%''' Omen Power - note that omen power is uncapped and often will rise above 100% as the game progresses. Owning the deity's {{icon|holy site}} holy site increases the effect of both its passive and omen modifiers (if enabled) by '''25%'''.


======Druidic======
Switching a deity in the pantheon costs a base of {{icon|stability}} {{red|−15}} stability and prevents that deity's omen from being invoked for '''3''' years. The stability penalty is temporarily reduced by {{green|-75%}} for 10 years after converting to another religion, through the {{icon|change deity cost}} '''Cost to Change Pantheon Deity''' modifier. Deities whose omens are currently being invoked cannot be replaced.

== Holy sites ==
{{see also|Treasure}}


======Megalithic======
{{icon|holy site}} A '''holy site''' is a temple, sanctuary, or other sacred site that is particularly important to the worship of a specific deity. Each deity can have one holy site anywhere in the world, and owning a deity's holy site while worshiping the deity in your pantheon increases the strength of both their passive and omen effects by {{green|+25%}}. There are many number of holy sites present at the start of the game, and a new one can be consecrated for a pantheon deity in an owned territory at a cost of {{icon|wealth}} {{red|−300}} Gold and {{icon|pol}}{{red| −50}} Political Influence, adjusted by the {{icon|holy site cost}} '''Enact Holy Site Cost''' modifier.
{| class="mildtable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"

|-
| Blessing of Sinifere
| ''Under the guidance of Sinifere our warriors will be infused with strength and discipline. As the god aids our cause, our men are sure to conquer and beat our enemies, bringing us victory.''
|-
| Blessing of Gurzil
| ''Under the blessed warrior Sun-god Gurzil, our young and old will flock to the banners to fight our enemies. With all these men suddenly coming to aid our people in war, we are sure to bolster our ranks beyond imagining. We will be prepared for any potential danger coming our way.''
|-

| ''The great weaver Tannit will bless us with her wisdom, granting gifts of insight to our wise-men, academics and scholars. With this newfound knowledge, we are sure to be able to progress and bring our people greater innovations and ideas.''


''Though originally a goddess of Carthaginian descent, she has become an important part of religion all the way from Libya to Mauretania.''
Holy sites confer the following modifiers to the territory they are located in, regardless of its size, status, and whether it is dedicated to a deity in the state religion/ pantheon or not:
|-
* {{icon|local tax}}{{green|+10%}} Local Tax
| Blessing of Melqart
* {{icon|building slots}} {{green|+1}} City Building Slots
| ''The great wandering deity Melqart will bring us wealth from all across our society. As we collect greater taxes and become wealthier, we can improve our society and make it safer for our people as well.''
* {{icon|migration attraction}} {{green|+5}} Migration Attraction


''Even though the god was originally the patron god of the Phoenician city Tyre, he has become well known all across the Phoenician world, as well as with all their trading partners and relations.''
Holy sites can hold [[File:Treasure chest.png|28px]] '''sacred treasures''', which confer bonuses to the entire province the holy site is located in - it is therefore typically useful to bring as many sacred treasures as possible to the capital province in order to maximize the effects of their bonuses. Any treasure can be placed in any holy site regardless of its religion, but each holy site has a limited number of '''altars''' where sacred treasures can be placed, depending on the rank of its territory: one for {{icon|settlement}} [[settlement|settlements]], two for {{icon|city}} [[cities]], and three for {{icon|metropolis}} [[metropolis]]es. There is a fixed amount of sacred treasures in the world, with new ones only being created as a result of certain missions and events. Sacred treasures can be removed from an owned holy site at any time at the cost of {{icon|aggressive expansion}} {{red|+1.00}} Aggressive Expansion.
|-
| Blessing of Amun
| ''The life-giving god Amun will justify and behold our expansion into foreign lands, as we offer up our sacrifices in his honor. Any adversary or foe who might object to our campaigns, will certainly be silenced in the face of the great god.''


''Originally Amun was a god of the Egyptians, but has recently become more popular among the neighboring tribes, the Cyrenaicans and oversea Greeks. Some going as far as naming Amun 'Zeus Ammon', combining him with their own Olympic deity.''
Unplaced sacred treasures are held in the nation's {{icon|reliquary}} '''reliquary''' and confer no benefits, but cannot be taken through desecration. Upon annexation by conquest, the conqueror is guaranteed to seize at least 2 treasures from the reliquary, if there exist that many; above that, up to 2 treasures in the nation's reliquary will be spirited away to another country within diplomatic range if any exist, with all the rest taken by the conqueror. Diplomatic annexation, will transfer all reliquary treasures to the overlord.
|-
| Blessing of Shaheded
| ''The great goddess of the sea will protect and look out for our merchants and traders as they leave our home in pursuit of wealth for our people. With new riches and treasures in distant lands, they are sure to bring greater affluence back home to our nation.''


''Shahaded is a Sea goddess originally worshiped around Libya, but her devotees have spread her name as time has passed.''
Desecrating a holy site can be done at any time through the [[File:Menu religion.png|28px]] Religion menu if it is owned, or by using the {{icon|desecrate}} '''Desecrate Holy Sites''' army ability with an army located on a controlled holy site's territory - note that a holy site does not necessarily need to be owned for an army to desecrate it, which means that an army can desecrate a holy site belonging to another nations if it is occupied. Desecrating a holy site destroys it and deposits all of its sacred treasures in the desecrating nation's reliquary, while the territory gets a {{icon|happiness}} {{red|-10%}} Local Population Happiness modifier to the territory for '''12''' months. Using the army interaction also costs {{icon|aggressive expansion}} {{red|+2.00}} Aggressive Expansion, and if the army is a {{icon|legion}} they may gain either the [[File:Phalera zeus.png|28px]] Pia or [[File:Phalera zeus dishonor.png|28px]] Impia [[distinction]]s depending on whether or not the holy site's deity belongs to the state religion. Every nation that follows the religion of the holy site's deity will also receive a notification event and might lose {{icon|opinion}} opinion of the desecrating country.
|-
| Blessing of Nanna Tala
| ''The great Spring-goddess will bring salvation and prosperity to our people, calming our internal conflicts and disagreements. As our lands are pacified, we can focus our efforts out towards the enemies at our borders rather than the enemies within.''


''There are many myths about the woman who now is known as the goddess Nanna Tala. The stories say she and her children sacrificed their lives to find water for their people, and that fair people can still call upon her to give them water in times of need.''
In the holy sites tab in the religion menu, all holy sites in owned territories as well as those for deities currently being worshiped in the pantheon, even if currently unowned, are shown and can be selected in the list. Owned holy sites - even those of deities currently in the pantheon - can be desecrated at any time, with their treasures being returned to the [[File:National treasure.png|28px]] reliquary, at the cost of {{icon|happiness}} {{red|-10%}} Local Population Happiness in the territory for 1 year (as well as the loss of the holy site itself). Treasures in holy sites of deities not in the pantheon can be removed here.
|-
| Blessing of Isis
| ''We beseech the great Isis to inspire our people to love and gift us with life for our harvests. With our crops flourishing and our young ones growing strong, we are sure to grow and expand for any foreseeable future.''


''Isis is one of the most well known Egyptian goddesses, and she has been shared and taken in by some of the neighbors of Egypt. Cults and devotees have sprung up in her honor all across the Hellenic world, and she has become a part of their pantheons.''
== Apotheosis ==
|}
{{icon|apotheosis}} '''Apotheosis''', or deification, is the process of deifying a past or present ruler of the country. A deified ruler inherits the effects of an existing pantheon deity, which they must be based on, but give an additional '''apotheosis effect''' bonus each time their omen is invoked. The strength of the apotheosis effect is often affected by the [[attributes]] of the deified ruler, and can include gaining {{icon|wealth}} gold, {{icon|manpower}} manpower, {{icon|food}} province food, {{icon|technology speed}} research progress, {{icon|military exp}} military experience, {{icon|population}} pops, {{icon|assimilation}} assimilation, {{icon|conversion}} conversion, or even {{icon|province investment}} province investments.


Monotheistic religions, in particular [[Jewish|Judaism]], have pantheons consisting entirely of "deified" characters (sometimes known as prophets), and are unable to deify more. As a counterbalance to the early access to apotheosis bonuses, they can only invoke omens once every '''7.5''' years (as Judaism has a {{icon|omen duration}} {{red|+50%}} Omen Duration modifier). All [[Republic|republics]] except for Theocratic Republics and Athenian Republics are also unable to deify rulers.


======Tuistic======
A number of deified characters exist in the game at the start: the Jewish prophets, [[Hellenic]] Alexander the Great, [[Zoroastrian]] Zoroaster, [[Buddhist]] Siddhartha, and [[Jain]] Mahavira. Certain characters can also be deified through special mission tasks, in particular Antigonus Monopthalmus through one of the {{flag|Antigonid Kingdom}}'s unique mission trees. Deifying a ruler requires the {{icon|mgr}} [[Magna Graecia (DLC)|Magna Graecia]] content pack and costs a base of {{icon|pol}} {{red|−200}} Political Influence, modified by the {{icon|deification cost}} '''Cost to Deify Ruler''' modifier (decreased by several {{icon|invention}} inventions and increases based on the number of deified rulers currently in the pantheon, making each successive deified ruler more expensive). Deification also also requires the '''current''' ruler to have at least {{icon|popularity}} '''90''' Popularity, and the current ruler's family to have at least {{icon|prestige}} '''800''' Prestige.

Every defied ruler in a nation's pantheon gives the following modifiers, stackable up to the four possible deities in the pantheon:
* {{icon|tyranny}} {{red|+0.01}} Monthly Tyranny
* [[File:Ruler popularity gain.png|28px]] {{green|+0.02}} Monthly Ruler Popularity Gain
* {{icon|conversion}} {{green|+15%}} Pop Conversion Speed
* {{icon|deification cost}} {{red|+25%}} Cost to Deify Ruler
Generally speaking, the most important modifier is generally the pop conversion speed, as the full {{icon|conversion}} {{green|+60%}} Pop Conversion Speed modifier if all four deities are deified rulers is very significant. Note that this modifier applies only for rulers deified during the game, and not for existing deified characters available at the beginning of the game; in particular, this means that it is generally not possible for [[Jewish]] countries to get access to the deified ruler modifiers, even if they start with access to the other apotheosis bonuses.


======Heptadic======
As a separate god, deified rulers are not affected by the {{icon|holy site}} holy sites of their parent deity and may have their own holy sites created in a territory - this does mean that if a deified ruler is created out of a deity whose holy site is currently owned, the new deity will not get the {{green|+25%}} bonus from owning the holy site until a new holy site is created for the new deity. If a deified ruler is not part of any country's pantheon for more than '''20''' years, their cult will be forgotten, and the deity, including any holy sites, will no longer be available.

{{icon|sacrifice}} A '''Divine Sacrifice''' can be made to appease the people and reassure them that the country will continue to receive the favour and bounty of the gods and higher powers, and is the most reliable way to increase the {{icon|stability}} stability of the realm.

| ''Sacrifices will be made to Orotalt as to convince the god to bless our harvests with life for many years to come. Our crops are sure to grow robustly as long as we have the support and aid of the god. ''
|}


It is possible to stack the effects of a sacrifice by making another one while the effects of the previous one(s) is ongoing, which has the additional effect of extending the length of the stacked effect by another 5 years. However, as the cost increase of each additional sacrifice stacks quickly if the effects of previous sacrifices are still active, trying to save political influence this way is generally of limited effectiveness unless the country already has a highly reduced sacrifice cost modifier.


======Buddhist======
The cost of making a sacrifice is modified by the {{icon|stability cost}} '''Divine Sacrifice Cost''' modifier, which can be decreased through various {{icon|invention}} [[inventions]], [[laws]], [[Religion#Pantheons|deities]], and other modifiers. All static sources are listed below.

== Invoke Devotio ==
{{icon|devotio}} If a war is going badly and {{icon|monthly war exhaustion}} war exhaustion is high, the country's ruler can '''Invoke Devotio''' to offer himself as a sacrifice in exchange for victory and strengthen the resolve of the population to fight on. Invoking devotio has a base cost of {{icon|tyranny}} {{red|2}} tyranny and gives the following effects for '''5''' years:
* {{icon|monthly war exhaustion}} {{green|-0.05}} Monthly War Exhaustion
* {{icon|devotio}} {{red|+50%}} Invoke Devotio Cost


======Ritualistic======
Like with making divine sacrifices, it is possible to stack the effects of invoking devotio by making another invokation while the effects of the previous one(s) is ongoing, which has the additional effect of extending the length of the stacked effect by another 5 years. However, as the amount of tyranny gained is not particularly high and war exhaustion is generally not too problematic unless it is very high, this is generally not as important as with making divine sacrifices.

File:2.0 religion menu.jpg
The religion interface

Religious power.png Religion represents the belief systems of the ancient world, usually polytheistic and encompassing a wide range of gods, and important to everything, from daily life to the highest political echelons. In the game, every state, character, and pop belongs to a particular religion, with their interactions playing a significant role in loyalty and pop happiness. The choice of pantheon gods and omens in the state religion forms an important part of the modifiers and bonuses that a country has, and is the one of the main interactions that a player will have with religion, with the systems of holy sites and sacred treasures providing more auxiliary goals and flavour. Most religion interactions can be managed through the File:Menu religion.png Religion tab.

State religion

Every country starts with a predefined state religion, which can be viewed just above the pantheon deities in the File:Menu religion.png Religion tab. Every religion has bonuses that are applied to the entire country, and also determines the base deities that are always available regardless of the population or holy sites of the country. State religion also has a small effect on diplomacy—countries of the same religion get a Opinion improvement active.png +10 opinion bonus with each other. There is no malus for having a different state religion.

There is no default happiness bonus or penalty for pop religion, but pops will receive a Happiness.png +4% happiness bonus for each deity in the state pantheon that matches their religion, making it useful for polytheistic states to take on pantheon gods of religions that are widespread inside their country - though spreading out the deity happiness bonus between deities of different religions means a smaller happiness modifier for each individual religion. The happiness of state religion pops specifically is also be increased with the State religion happiness state religion happiness modifier, which is given by various omens and deities, inventions, laws, heritages, and more.

Additionally, the percentage of pops following the state religion determines the nation's zeal修正 Religious Unity value, which is the main component of Omen.png omen power.

State Conversion

The state religion can be changed by decision if there is at least 1 character of the new religion in the country, and either 50% of the non-slave pops in the Country capital.png capital, or at least 20% of all the pops of the country and at least one Change pantheon cost modifier.png pantheon deity, follow the new religion the country intends to convert to. Switching religions can only be done once every 10 years and costs Political influence.png 200 political influence and Stability.png 30 stability, also giving a temporary drop of Loyalty.png −15 Loyalty for all characters that are followers of the old faith.

Character religion

Each character also has their own character religion, usually but not always the same as that of the state. Characters that do not follow the state religion have a Loyalty.png −10 maximum loyalty modifier, and pops have a Happiness.png -6% happiness penalty if the governor of their region is not of their religion - notably, this includes even state religion pops, if their governor is not of the state religion.

Characters can be forced to convert if their Loyalty.png loyalty is at least 60, at the cost of Tyranny +5.00 Tyranny and a temporary drop of Loyalty.png −30 loyalty for 5 years. There are also a few events by which a character's religion can otherwise be changed — governors may switch to the religion of the regional capital if the Religious Conversion policy is not being used, office holders may take on the religion of the state that employs them, the heir of a monarchy may switch to the religion of the Royal Tutor, and rulers may get an event to switch to the state religion if they do not follow it.

Territory religion

Every territory has a dominant religion, which is the religion with the highest number of pops in the territory. This is the religion as displayed for the territory in the religion map mode and is generally considered the religion of the territory for most purposes, particularly for colonization, moving the Country capital.png capital, and many event and mission task checks.

Most importantly, there are also territory modifiers applied if the dominant religion is not the state religion, which makes them harder to Policy religious conversion.png convert and Pop assimilation.png assimilate. Such a territory where the Dominant Religion is not State Religion gets the following modifiers:

  • Policy religious conversion.png -25% Pop Conversion Speed
  • Pop assimilation.png -10% Pop Assimilation Speed
  • Local pop demotion speed.png +5% Pop Demotion Speed

State religion happiness

State religion happiness State Religion Happiness modifiers are applied to all pops of the state religion, regardless of what religions the pantheon deities are of. Unlike with Integrated culture happiness integrated cultures, there is no base state religion happiness modifier, though modifiers from other sources can still add up to a significant amount that makes conquering provinces with the same religion significantly easier.

Pop Conversion

Policy religious conversion.png In every territory, a single pop can undergo conversion to the state religion at a time, as long as there are any pops in that territory that can convert and are not otherwise busy (e.g. assimilating or promoting). Outside of events, pops will always convert to the state religion. Conversion progress builds each month, with the exact progress determined by the sum of all Policy religious conversion.png Pop Conversion Speed modifiers. Once progress reaches 100%, the pop will be converted to the state religion and another pop will begin to convert, if there are any other pops that can be converted. The speed of conversion is influenced by many factors, particularly the Policy religious conversion.png Religious Conversion governor policy and the dominant province Policy cultural assimilation.png culture and Religious power.png religion being different from the state culture and religion. Note that it is possible for conversion to be completely stalled.

All else being equal, it is generally preferable to convert pops to the state religion, though the differences in happiness are much less than with unintegrated culture or culture group pops and can be ameliorated by adopting deities of the pop's religion in the pantheon (though this will necessarily come at the expense of the happiness of pops of other religions), which generally makes conversion less important than assimilation. Under some circumstances it may also be beneficial to retain pops of other religions in order to have continued access to their deities, though the strong effects of religious unity on Omen.png omen power means that it is still generally undesirable to have too many other pops of a non-state religion.

Pantheons

Change pantheon cost modifier.png Every nation has a state pantheon consisting of four deities (also called prophets, yazatas, or paradigms, depending on the religion), one for each category: War, Culture, Economy, and Fertility. Every nation can select from a fixed list of their religion's deities to fill the slots, with some deities available to all countries of that religion and some with stricter requirements such as culture, tag, or finishing a certain mission task. In addition, polytheistic nations can also select deities from other polytheistic religions if they own that deity's Holy Site.png holy site, or a high enough percentage of their pops follows a given religion. The percentage required depends on the deity's rarity: Very Common deities require 5% of the nation's total pops to follow the deity's religion, Common deities require 10%, Rare deities require 20%, and Very Rare deities require 40%.

Every deity that is not part of the state religion gives a stacking Policy religious conversion.png −20% conversion speed malus for all pops in the nation (regardless of whether or not their gods are currently represented in the pantheon).

Each deity has a fixed passive modifier which is in effect as long as that deity is part of the pantheon. Additionally, every 5 years (adjusted by the Omen duration Omen Duration modifier) one can invoke an omen from one of the pantheon's deities, which confers an additional, usually more powerful, bonus. The current omen's effects are multiplied by the nation's current Omen.png Omen Power, with the base effects being reached at 100% Omen Power - note that omen power is uncapped and often will rise above 100% as the game progresses. Owning the deity's Holy Site.png holy site increases the effect of both its passive and omen modifiers (if enabled) by 25%.

Switching a deity in the pantheon costs a base of Stability.png −15 stability and prevents that deity's omen from being invoked for 3 years. The stability penalty is temporarily reduced by -75% for 10 years after converting to another religion, through the Change pantheon cost modifier.png Cost to Change Pantheon Deity modifier. Deities whose omens are currently being invoked cannot be replaced.

Each deity and its requirements and bonuses are listed on the page of the religion it belongs to.

Holy sites

参见：Treasure

Holy Site.png A holy site is a temple, sanctuary, or other sacred site that is particularly important to the worship of a specific deity. Each deity can have one holy site anywhere in the world, and owning a deity's holy site while worshiping the deity in your pantheon increases the strength of both their passive and omen effects by +25%. There are many number of holy sites present at the start of the game, and a new one can be consecrated for a pantheon deity in an owned territory at a cost of Wealth −300 Gold and Political influence.png−50 Political Influence, adjusted by the Holy site cost Enact Holy Site Cost modifier.

Holy sites confer the following modifiers to the territory they are located in, regardless of its size, status, and whether it is dedicated to a deity in the state religion/ pantheon or not:

  • Tax income.png+10% Local Tax
  • Local building slot.png +1 City Building Slots
  • Migration attraction +5 Migration Attraction

Holy sites can hold Treasure chest.png sacred treasures, which confer bonuses to the entire province the holy site is located in - it is therefore typically useful to bring as many sacred treasures as possible to the capital province in order to maximize the effects of their bonuses. Any treasure can be placed in any holy site regardless of its religion, but each holy site has a limited number of altars where sacred treasures can be placed, depending on the rank of its territory: one for Territory settlement.png settlements, two for Territory city.png cities, and three for Territory metropolis.png metropolises. There is a fixed amount of sacred treasures in the world, with new ones only being created as a result of certain missions and events. Sacred treasures can be removed from an owned holy site at any time at the cost of Aggressive expansion.png +1.00 Aggressive Expansion.

Unplaced sacred treasures are held in the nation's National treasure.png reliquary and confer no benefits, but cannot be taken through desecration. Upon annexation by conquest, the conqueror is guaranteed to seize at least 2 treasures from the reliquary, if there exist that many; above that, up to 2 treasures in the nation's reliquary will be spirited away to another country within diplomatic range if any exist, with all the rest taken by the conqueror. Diplomatic annexation, will transfer all reliquary treasures to the overlord.

Desecrating a holy site can be done at any time through the File:Menu religion.png Religion menu if it is owned, or by using the Desecrate holy site Desecrate Holy Sites army ability with an army located on a controlled holy site's territory - note that a holy site does not necessarily need to be owned for an army to desecrate it, which means that an army can desecrate a holy site belonging to another nations if it is occupied. Desecrating a holy site destroys it and deposits all of its sacred treasures in the desecrating nation's reliquary, while the territory gets a Happiness.png -10% Local Population Happiness modifier to the territory for 12 months. Using the army interaction also costs Aggressive expansion.png +2.00 Aggressive Expansion, and if the army is a Legion.png they may gain either the File:Phalera zeus.png Pia or File:Phalera zeus dishonor.png Impia distinctions depending on whether or not the holy site's deity belongs to the state religion. Every nation that follows the religion of the holy site's deity will also receive a notification event and might lose Opinion improvement active.png opinion of the desecrating country.

In the holy sites tab in the religion menu, all holy sites in owned territories as well as those for deities currently being worshiped in the pantheon, even if currently unowned, are shown and can be selected in the list. Owned holy sites - even those of deities currently in the pantheon - can be desecrated at any time, with their treasures being returned to the National treasure.png reliquary, at the cost of Happiness.png -10% Local Population Happiness in the territory for 1 year (as well as the loss of the holy site itself). Treasures in holy sites of deities not in the pantheon can be removed here.

Apotheosis

Deify ruler cost modifier.png Apotheosis, or deification, is the process of deifying a past or present ruler of the country. A deified ruler inherits the effects of an existing pantheon deity, which they must be based on, but give an additional apotheosis effect bonus each time their omen is invoked. The strength of the apotheosis effect is often affected by the attributes of the deified ruler, and can include gaining Wealth gold, Manpower.png manpower, Monthly food.png province food, Technology speed research progress, Military experience.png military experience, Population.png pops, Pop assimilation.png assimilation, Policy religious conversion.png conversion, or even Province investment province investments.

Monotheistic religions, in particular Judaism, have pantheons consisting entirely of "deified" characters (sometimes known as prophets), and are unable to deify more. As a counterbalance to the early access to apotheosis bonuses, they can only invoke omens once every 7.5 years (as Judaism has a Omen duration +50% Omen Duration modifier). All republics except for Theocratic Republics and Athenian Republics are also unable to deify rulers.

A number of deified characters exist in the game at the start: the Jewish prophets, Hellenic Alexander the Great, Zoroastrian Zoroaster, Buddhist Siddhartha, and Jain Mahavira. Certain characters can also be deified through special mission tasks, in particular Antigonus Monopthalmus through one of the 弗里吉亚的国旗 弗里吉亚's unique mission trees. Deifying a ruler requires the Magna Graecia (DLC).png Magna Graecia content pack and costs a base of Political influence.png −200 Political Influence, modified by the Deify ruler cost modifier.png Cost to Deify Ruler modifier (decreased by several Invention.png inventions and increases based on the number of deified rulers currently in the pantheon, making each successive deified ruler more expensive). Deification also also requires the current ruler to have at least Popularity.png 90 Popularity, and the current ruler's family to have at least Family prestige 800 Prestige.

Every defied ruler in a nation's pantheon gives the following modifiers, stackable up to the four possible deities in the pantheon:

  • Tyranny +0.01 Monthly Tyranny
  • Ruler popularity gain.png +0.02 Monthly Ruler Popularity Gain
  • Policy religious conversion.png +15% Pop Conversion Speed
  • Deify ruler cost modifier.png +25% Cost to Deify Ruler

Generally speaking, the most important modifier is generally the pop conversion speed, as the full Policy religious conversion.png +60% Pop Conversion Speed modifier if all four deities are deified rulers is very significant. Note that this modifier applies only for rulers deified during the game, and not for existing deified characters available at the beginning of the game; in particular, this means that it is generally not possible for Jewish countries to get access to the deified ruler modifiers, even if they start with access to the other apotheosis bonuses.

As a separate god, deified rulers are not affected by the Holy Site.png holy sites of their parent deity and may have their own holy sites created in a territory - this does mean that if a deified ruler is created out of a deity whose holy site is currently owned, the new deity will not get the +25% bonus from owning the holy site until a new holy site is created for the new deity. If a deified ruler is not part of any country's pantheon for more than 20 years, their cult will be forgotten, and the deity, including any holy sites, will no longer be available.

Each deity Apotheosis effect and holy site starting location are listed on the page of the religion it belongs to (links for each religion at the end of this page).

Divine Sacrifice

Sacrifice pig.png A Divine Sacrifice can be made to appease the people and reassure them that the country will continue to receive the favour and bounty of the gods and higher powers, and is the most reliable way to increase the Stability.png stability of the realm. A sacrifice has a base cost of Political influence.png 50 political influence and gives the following effects for 5 years:

  • Stability.png +0.15 Monthly Stability Change
  • Stability cost modifier.png +100% Divine Sacrifice Cost

It is possible to stack the effects of a sacrifice by making another one while the effects of the previous one(s) is ongoing, which has the additional effect of extending the length of the stacked effect by another 5 years. However, as the cost increase of each additional sacrifice stacks quickly if the effects of previous sacrifices are still active, trying to save political influence this way is generally of limited effectiveness unless the country already has a highly reduced sacrifice cost modifier.

The cost of making a sacrifice is modified by the Stability cost modifier.png Divine Sacrifice Cost modifier, which can be decreased through various Invention.png inventions, laws, deities, and other modifiers. All static sources are listed below.

Type Modifier Stability cost modifier.png Divine Sacrifice Cost
Base Sacrifice pig.png Divine Sacrifices +100% per concurrent sacrifice

Invoke Devotio

Invoke devotio.png If a war is going badly and Monthly war exhaustion war exhaustion is high, the country's ruler can Invoke Devotio to offer himself as a sacrifice in exchange for victory and strengthen the resolve of the population to fight on. Invoking devotio has a base cost of Tyranny 2 tyranny and gives the following effects for 5 years:

  • Monthly war exhaustion -0.05 Monthly War Exhaustion
  • Invoke devotio.png +50% Invoke Devotio Cost

Like with making divine sacrifices, it is possible to stack the effects of invoking devotio by making another invokation while the effects of the previous one(s) is ongoing, which has the additional effect of extending the length of the stacked effect by another 5 years. However, as the amount of tyranny gained is not particularly high and war exhaustion is generally not too problematic unless it is very high, this is generally not as important as with making divine sacrifices.

The cost of making invoking devotio is modified by the Invoke devotio.png Invoke Devotio Cost modifier, which is given only by the 高洁 Devout trait (-10%) and the stacking costs of invoking devotio itself.
