Structured Reformation
The reformation will always begin with Lutheranism.
Calvinism, Zwinglism, & the Radical Reformation will spawn next.
All other branches will spawn after this.
Catholic & Orthodox will spawn their own Counter-Reformation Centers which help contain the reformation (Up to three centers of Counter-Reform).
The Radical faiths, including Hussites, Hutterites, Mennonites, & Munsterites will spawn with one center only and spread slower.
All other branches of the reformation can have up to two centers of reformation.

Fixed quite a few bugs from the old mod ‘More Branches’
