Does a Center of Reformation affect non-Christian provinces?
I'm playing for the "For Odin" achievement, and I hold all of Denmark and Norway as a Norse country. A Protestant Center of Reformation (CoR) was formed in Akershus, adjacent or very near 10 of my provinces. None was ever converted, even after all of Sweden was converted. Likewise, Scotland has a Reformed CoR and it has never converted Faroarna. I'm 70% into converting Akershus (about 15 years), and it has never tried to convert my provinces. I've also noticed that Orthodox Novgorod hasn't any converted provinces either, although it might be out of range of the CoR. So does anybody know if a CoR can change none-Christain countries (or Orthodox)? Thanks.
Best Answer
Centers of Reformation can only convert provinces from the Catholic religion since that's the religion the Protestants split off from. For Orthodox or Pagan people it wouldn't make much sense to be 'reformed', because they're a different religion in the first place and don't have the issues that the Protestants would criticize (Papal power, indulgences).

Do centers of reformation go away?
Yes, they do. There's a set period in which Europe is meant to be in a state of religious warfare. In my last game, it ended about 1650 or so. At that point, the centres of reformation stop converting and catholics lose the effects of the counter-reformation.How do you deal with the center of the Reformation?
They automatically disappear in 1650. If you want to get rid of them earlier, you have to convert the religion of the province the CoR is located in.How long do Centres of reformation last?
General. 3 centers of reformation for protestant and reformed each will appear, the first ones randomly and the other ones in the nations that convert first. If you destroyed one there will still be two more when nations convert.EU4- When a Center of Reformation keeps converting your provinces
