    Colonizing West Africa is kinda shitty since you need to have soldiers around all the time. Is it worth becoming the CEO of racism?

    Monuments Have Made Hinduism One of the Strongest Religions in the Game

    Posted: 26 Nov 2021 09:41 AM PST

    I never played Hindu nations before Leviathan because I think the religion was objectively crap. Base Hinduism only has one mechanic: every leader can chose one deity that grants one—admittedly pretty strong—bonus:

    • +1 Diplomatic Reputation / +20% Improve Relations
    • -10% Construction Cost / -0.25 Interest per Annum
    • +5% Discipline / +5% Siege Ability
    • -10% Core Creation Cost / -5% Aggressive Expansion Impact
    • +10% National Tax Modifier / +10% Trade Efficiency
    • +2% Missionary Strength / +20% Fort Defence
    • Buddha: +2 Tolerance of Heathens / -10% Advisor Costs

    Any one of these would be welcome at any point, they're one the level of an Orthodox icon; the Discipline and CCR are especially good. The problem is the lack of flexibility of the religion. You either have to wait for your leader to die to switch bonuses, or wait twenty years at the cost of a stab hit, if you unlock the right decision. This made all of the other bonuses moot in my recent game, and I kept the CCR up until I switched to Buddha.

    You need to complete a mission to unlock the Buddha deity, and I think everyone can agree he gives you, by far, the worst bonus. There would be no conceivable reason to ever pick him except for one thing: Hindu nations with the Buddha deity are eligible for every Buddhist monument bonus in the game—and there's a fuckton of them—on top of all the Hindu monuments.

    Without further ado, here's the compiled list of all bonuses Hindu and Buddhist give you at Magnificent level (Global Modifiers only):

    • -15% Core Creation Cost
    • -10% Aggressive Expansion Impact
    • -10% Technology Cost
    • -5% Idea Cost
    • +3 Missionaries
    • +5% Missionary Strength
    • -30% Missionary Maintenance Cost
    • +55% Religious Unity
    • -2 National Unrest
    • Legitimacy/etc:
      • +1 Yearly Horde Unity
      • +0.5 Yearly Harmony
      • +1 Yearly Legitimacy
      • +1 Yearly Horde Unity
    • -25% Minimum Autonomy in Territories
    • -0.15 Autonomy Change
    • -25% State Maintenance
    • +1 Max Promoted Cultures
    • -50% Culture Conversion Cost
    • +50% Chance of New Heir
    • +65 Clergy Loyalty
    • +30 Brahmin Loyalty

    The cumulated impact is massive. You can save mana all over the place, core faster, decrease unrest, massively lower autonomy in territories, and the total conversion power is enormous. All things considered, I got to the late game on my last Malaya game with 21% Missionary Strength and 8 Missionaries, my strongest yet—although admittedly I haven't tried most religions since Leviathan. My Autonomy in Territories was at 35%.

    Granted, most of these effects come from monuments you could have from just playing Buddhist, but Hindu grants you an extra set of monuments and saves you the hassle of managing Karma. I've never played Buddhist, so maybe that's not as much a big deal as it seems, but to me it reads as a game changer.

    Then there's the added benefit that Hinduism allows you to basically conquer all of India without worrying about converting anything, while still getting the Religious War CB against the Muslim rulers in the North.

    Lots (most? I'm not going to count) of religions are better than Hinduism on their own merits. They provide better bonuses, have better unique mechanics like permanent Totemist ruler traits or easily switchable Protestant Aspects, and Christians give you access to PUs. But when you take monuments into account, I think Buddhist Hinduism gets catapulted into the top tiers. Admittedly you have to send a lot of coin to actually unlock all of these bonuses, but when you play in India/Malacca you make mint anyway.
