i had a guy with 6 piety in novgorod and he wasn't paying the bills, (although he was the heir and therefore had a bigger body guard)

is the effect of higher piety additive or exponential,

i know you've given tips for increasing piety but how can you get it so high,

the church thing only works once, (or does it repeat at higher level churches), and when i made a couple of priests that didn't up my piety neither, maybe i need the update or somethin, and as for building a cathedral, well that's quite expensive, are their any other ways to up piety,
