Inquisition conversion-window plan
Inquisition makes Spanish conversions resolve faster, strengthening Monk and Missionary pressure when the army can protect its faith units. Use it to disrupt expensive targets or exposed production without letting the support group become an easy counterattack target.
Overview
Inquisition makes Spanish conversions resolve faster, strengthening Monk and Missionary pressure when the army can protect its faith units. Use it to disrupt expensive targets or exposed production without letting the support group become an easy counterattack target.
Plan and execution
Research Inquisition when Monks or Missionaries are already part of the plan, then approach behind a durable frontline and focus conversion attempts on units whose loss would change the fight. In the Imperial Age, pair conversion groups with Theocracy and keep a retreat path so faith can recover between attempts. Missionaries can use their mobility to reposition while the rest of the army screens them.
Risks and adaptation
Conversion still takes time and vulnerable units can be killed before the attempt succeeds. Light Cavalry, Eagle Warriors, and other resistant targets remain difficult, so do not expose a large Monk mass without a screen or retreat route.
