In addition, if Fervor drops low enough, a Faith becomes vulnerable to heresy outbreaks!Ī heresy outbreak is what happens when a ruler becomes disillusioned with their current Faith and is swayed to join a different one. Characters are more willing to accept a Demand Conversion when their Faith’s Fervor is low, and the Court Chaplain’s ‘Convert County’ task gains a scaling bonus against Faiths whose Fervor is lower than their own. When a Faith’s Fervor drops, adherents of that Faith become vulnerable to conversion. However, while these Holy Wars are ostensibly waged in the name of the divine, in practice they often tend to be little more than opportunistic land-grabs - as a result, every Holy War declared will slightly damage a Faiths’ Fervor, while losing land to hostile Holy Wars will actually increase your Faith’s Fervor as the embattled faithful dig in and fight for their way of life! They gain bonus resistance to attempts to convert them to another faith, and both secular and religious leaders can declare Holy Wars to spread their Faith across the world. Virtuous priests can inspire a populace and rally the people behind themselves, while sinful ones (especially religious heads) can cause massive scandals that damage the faithful’s trust in their religious institutions.Īdherents of a Faith with high Fervor are willing to fight and die for their beliefs. While Fervor has a slow ticking increase over time, it is primarily influenced by the virtuousness or sinfulness of that Faith’s leaders.


To wrap things up, I will show off some additional never-before seen Tenets and Doctrines!Įvery Faith has a Fervor score, which is a representation of how strongly adherents of that Faith believe in the righteousness of their religious and secular leaders. Hello everyone, and welcome back to our final Dev Diary on Religion in Crusader Kings 3! Today I, Sean Hughes, will be talking about what the mysterious Fervor is, how that ties into Heresies and Heresy Outbreaks, as well as how Religious Hostility works and some of the ways that Doctrines can impact it.
