Non Sufficit Orbis says religious conversions of settlements grant 2 points, but this never seems to work

[Oddible]

What am I missing here? It is the first time I'm converting. It is a foreigh settlement in a distant land. Or does it only work for my own settlements and the UI just didn't say that?

It needs to be your settlements. And the game does say that. One point for every settlement you have in distant lands. Becomes two points if it's either conquered or of your religion. Becomes four points if it's both conquered and of your religion.

Except I’m not sure you get the conversion points if you convert a conquered settlement that was founded by a civ who has been completely defeated. Could be a bug I experienced though, hopefully it’s not an oversight

Yeah exactly that. It’s very confusing because the culture relic path specifically wants you to convert AI settlements on distant lands, depending on religion chosen. took me a while to realize orbis wanted me to convert MY settlements in distant lands.

And those point are temporary, meaning if your settlement gets converted later it will revert to 1 point... So keep missionaries in those distant land cities when the era is close to the end, just to be able to convert them back to your religion at the last minute.

This is true, however, once you have earned a milestone it stays earned, even if you drop back below it.

Not sure where you're seeing it says that but it doesn't say "YOUR" settlements in the Age Progress interface.

No, it technically does not say 'your', and I acknowledge that it probably should, for the sake of clarity.

However, if you apply this logic to argue that it's not only your settlements, then the 1 point that's awarded for settlements as a baseline should be awarded immediately for every settlement in existence in the New World - which is going to be more than 12 even on turn 1, in most games.

I think part of the confusion is the Relics in the Religious path all talk about converting Foreign settlements... as do all of the Founder beliefs.
