Dunno why, but in my first campaign (Venetians) maybe 30-40 % of my priests were "secretly female".

I got loads of guild missions - assassins' guild missions because I used lots of master-level assassins, I reckon, and a few merchants' guild missions, probably because almost all of my cities had a merchants' guild of some kind. With later campaigns the missions have been much rarer. I wonder if it has something to do with the faction you're playing? Just like I with guilds themselves it seems like that (didn't get a Theologians' guild before taking the first of the Aztec settlements and building a church there, playing as the Polish).
Its not cheese if its realism. If I had a heretic in my territory, my troops would seize him, then dismember him, throwing his peices into a body of water. You cant do that in this game, however, because certain people dont know how to make a game properly. Thats what modders (and innovative people on the forums) are for.
