Makes converting provinces, even manually, next to impossible. From a “power” perspective this doctrine is pretty awful. I’ve got a lot of mixed feelings about Cosmopolitan. Not Recommended: Germanic, Tengri and Aztec, as you will lose their innate bonuses.

Recommended: Tall Romuva, African, Suomenusko Overall though, if you’re unsure of what to pick, or are a new player, Unyielding is a safe pick. Unyielding also reduces AI aggressiveness, which can be a negative if you want your AI vassals to attack/invade your enemies for you. If you want to play tall/stable, Peaceful is often better. Additionally, Unyielding is a bit of a jack of all trades – if you want to blob, Proselyting is better for converting provinces. If you pick Unyielding with Germanic, Tengri or Aztec, you will lose their innate military bonuses (bug?), creating negative synergy (though you can combine Unyielding with Animistic but don’t cause Animistic is awful). Resistance to conversion is doesn’t really come in to play much.

Unyielding is also special as it’s the only doctrine where AI rulers will convert non-pagan provinces as long as they’re zealous, making it the second-best doctrine for AI mass converting. The military bonus is substantial – +20% levy, +30% garrison, +80% morale and defence fighting in a province of your religion – though a good portion of the time you’re going to be fighting outside your religion. Ironically a better war nature than Warmongering.

I’m also assuming a vanilla game with minimal gameplay mods and standard rule set (including ironman/achievements). I will also be considering redundancy and opportunity cost as part of rating. Given “Fun” is a pretty nebulous concept, the definition I’m using is whether the choice introduces varied events, mechanics and experiences that you would otherwise not get (more stuff to play with, basically). How much of a direct gameplay advantage it gives (“Power”).I will be rating each of the doctrines from A to C on two general criteria: So, after playing a lot with pagans, some experimenting, and some light digging in the game files, I decided to make my own tier list. When I looked up guides/tier lists I was generally unsatisfied, as they often were outdated, or misunderstood and overlooked various mechanics. I’ve been having a lot of fun with the pagan reformation mechanic introduced with Holy Fury, but generally found it difficult to find which doctrines and natures did what or were useful when I first started playing Holy Fury.
