Promoting paganism

[Palpat]

As i'm one more time giving its chance to Great Invasions, I was wondering yesterday, seing missionaries on the map...

Is it possible to fight them? To counter them?

Could it be possible to keep paganism in Europe until the end of the game, or does it don't have a chance against christian and muslim missionaries?

Paganism is a minor religion, so it has no missionaries or assets, except via some rare events. As a consequence, it stands almost no chance versus the larger religions. Better choose a major one and concentrate on her.

It was indeed my guess.
I would I love still having Athena's and Hermes temples in Lutecia in 11th century, but whatever... was just a fantasy.

And regarding the fight against missionaries: let's say I'm playing Berber and I don't want my provinces converted by those arabs. Is there any way to defend myself?

Put some troops where they go...there are chances (luck + random tests) that someone get p...off and chops the missionary head off
