Christianize the Vandals

Hello there!

I searched the RTW guide for Vandals but didn't find the answer on how to christianize these people properly. Historically they became christians, but how can I convert them, if all the familiy members are pagan? I'm in Spain now and captured three cities including Corduba. Public order is very low there already, I can not destroy the pagan temples. Will heirs automatically born as christians in christian cities? Is it wiser to let the Vandals beeing pagan? Has anyone a good strategy?

Ah, and sorry, if this has been discussed before.

I think you actually need a christian family member, so you'll have to wait until one is born. Or maybe you could bribe a christian?

Yeah and if you decide to convert, it's gonna take a long time for the pagans to die out. If you have cities there's a good chance they'll revolt.

Bribe a christian general and set him as your faction heir. What decides the religion of your generals, is your faction leader.
I think it`s a 75% chance that a newborn family member will have the same religion as your faction leader.

Thanks for the advice! I will try to bribe a general then :-)

Keep them Pagen, believe me it's better. I in my Vandal Campaign, had held whole italy, the islands in the sea, and went spreaded out in Europe till I reached Spain. And I think the Pagen temples did a better job (+2 Exp + 3 weapon tend to make your units great, especially when they reach the 'golden' chevrons state).

I think ivoignob is more concerned with historical accuracy as opposed to power within the game, so he's choosing to go down the Christian route. Best of luck with that!

....

It`s also more fun and challenging to christianize the factions. I do that with every faction that can be christianized.

Thanks for all the replies. Yes, actually I don't want to hold all europe. I already find it annoying enough that the Huns are holding all of it.

By the way, Spain is fine now but I lost Carthage due to a revolt. I can't get this religion thing right. I think I have to play some more campaigns:-P
