And before someone says something about "african paganism" as the key to solve it, the problem is Paradox ruined ALL the non-abrahamic religions by making them weak af (you can NOT convert and also your brethren are inferior to proselytism, except the dharmic religions, but you can't reform them) for some retarded reason. Not even Taoism is cool, despite how awesome its followers' attributes are.Would my situation improve if I become jewish (ብር MERCVRIVS VVLT $)?How could I convert the sunni caliph into another religion? Could I usurp the Caliphate?My problem with the usurpation is HOW CAN you remove the Abbasids from the throne? All the successors and possible heirs to it are from just this dynasty, since you can't do matrilineal, you can't remove them through marriage. It does NOT even matter that you married female Abbasids, the throne is tooooooooooo distant.And since I'm a sunni too, I can NOT become friend with the Caliph (+ green button in his profile) through the normal easy way.
Please, give me some advices.
>can't do matrilineal marriages (despite it exist IRL), so I can put relatives in other thronesMatrilineal marriages were not a thing in medieval Europe. It was invented by civil bureaucrats much later, when they took over administration and wanted to preserve stability and the fiction of the same dynasty ruling over their country.In the actual middle ages it was not a thing.
>>2483472Anon, you can have SUPERNATURAL EVENTS withIN Ironman (aka, achievements), I think matrilineal marriages, interfaith marriages and larger diplomatic range could have totally work if Paradox was not full of retards.
Bump.
>>2483154you could suck china's dick until they're willing to explode abbasids for you. but that egypt doesn't really look that strong, just kick their ass. african gold mines give a lot of money. or you could just swear fealty to the abbasids and county-conquest your way to armenia.

They shouldn't have made the religious system so hardcoded
