[Mod] Inquisitor Mod

[Big J Money]

Just to agree with the original idea of this unit:

The inquisitor should be able to purge religion from foreign/enemy cities, but only if you have a Holy City, and only if your state religion already exists on the foreign city. It won't purge all religions; it will purge all religions other than your state religion. Also, the base chance of success should be lower than the missionary's, and for each extra religion other than your state religion, the chance of success should be further reduced.

This would allow religious wars. That is not imbalanced at all, since anyone can try to get a holy city and participate in a religious war. Also, inquisitors should become obsolete eventually, and maybe one of the civics can make a person immune to inqisitors.

Here is another idea. Give a new ability to a religious Great Leader called "Grand Inquisition". You must use this ability before you can send inquisitors against other nations.

Guys, there is a way to balance anything if you put your mind to it.

This mod doesnt work anymore with 1.61, any plans do update it? Are there other inquisitor mods out there?

IMO the inquisitor should reduce population as well ( 1 point for each religion that is removed ). People who refused to convert are often killed in the medivian.

But great idea - that unit has to be in the game.

Actually during the Christian inquisition not as many people were actually killed as is popularly believed. Most of the time they were imprisoned for around a year and their property was taken. There wasn't really too many deaths, and rarely was an actual sentence of death given.

Hey, I have a suggestion.

Say that there's a Christian Nation that's trying to get rid of other relgions in the nation, wouldn't some of those people flee to safer places, like Muslims would run to a Islamic Nation?

Maybe a population deduction for each religion that flees? So if you just attacked the Muslims and Hindus, they escape to a nation with free religion or that has similar idealogy.

People really didn't "flee" that often because of inquisition, usually they would just pretend to repent/agree with the inquisitors. They had business and lives and families (often, in cases of the persecuted people, in mixed religious families) that they couldn't really leave. And its not like they could just call up Long & Foster and U-Haul, pack up their stuff and move somewhere else. This was in the middle ages.

That's not true of the Inquisition as a whole, though it is true of the Spanish Inquistion. The broader inquistion, however, began with the Albigensian Crusade in southern France - or rather, shortly before that, with a papal bull issued in 1184, entitled "For the purpose of doing away with", and aimed at persecuting the Cathars. Trials, torture, and executions didn't do away with the Cathars, so things built up to the Albigensian Crusade in which whole cities were razed - it is estimated that anywhere from half a million to a million people died in the Albigensian Crusade. By modern numbers, this is pretty bad - by medieval numbers, its an utter apocalypse.

Deaths in the Spanish Inquisition were probably not as high as some think, however, the Spanish Inquisition was not the whole of the Inquisition. That began with the movement against the Cathars (and a few others, like the Waldensians).
