Pope Leo’s Nightmare

Have you ever found the protestant reformation to be a bit boring? Do you think that the religious map mode could use more stripes? Is religious unity ‘Just a number’? Don’t you hate it when you and your neighbors aren’t getting constant disasters? Well the purpose of this mod is to fix all that. With fourteen new branches in the reformation as well as guaranteed centers of reformation for all other Christian faiths, except Coptic, your reformation will definitely see some interesting outcomes. Each new branch can spawn anywhere in Europe, but each has a cultural preference based off of its origins.

• Zwinglist, based off the reformer Zwingli, has a preference to Switzerland & Germany
• Presbyterian, based off the reformer John Knox, has a preference to Scotland & Ireland
• Vasantine, based off the Swedish king Vasa, has a preference to Sweden, Finland, & the Baltics
• Tausenite, based off the reformer Tausen, has a preference to Denmark & Norway
• Huguenot, based off the French reformed movement, has a preference to Southern France & Northern Italy
• Servetusic, based off of the reformer Michael Servetus, has a preference to Aragon & Southern France

• Radzian, based off the Polish Reformed Church, has a preference to Poland, Ruthenia, & Lithuania
• Molinist, based off the theologian Molina, has a preference to Southern Spain, Portugal, & Southern Italy
• Munsterite, based off the prophets of Wittenberg, has a preference to Germany
