Why can't i raise fleet levy?
I'm playing as a coastal Pagan Duchy.
Hard to expand without ships...
Edit: Also... how do i convert to another religion when a pagan?
Do you have any holdings that are capable of producing ships? If I'm not mistaken, there are a decent number of coastal counties in Finland and northern Norway and Sweden that only have a castle in them at the beginning of the game. If that's the case, those counties won't be able to raise a fleet without building either a Castle Shipyard or another holding. Also, those ships probably won't help you all that much if you're a non-Norse Pagan, since it's only the Norse that can raid coastal provinces at will + get CB's against non-pagan coastal provinces that don't border them.
Unreformed, non-Norse Pagans still get the Subjugation CB (only usable once per lifetime now, unless using the Become King ambition while targeting a province within that de jure kingdom), and a Conquest CB that can be used against any neighboring province of a different religion (including different forms of paganism).
As far as conversion goes, there seem to be a few different options:
1) Get a wife or concubine of the religion you wish to convert to. Once this happens, there will be a button available in the intrigue screen that will allow you to convert to her religion (I'm not sure whether or not you can convert to a different, unreformed pagan religion in this way). 'Course, the only way to get a wife of another religion - that I've been able to find, anyway - is to capture the woman and make her a concubine first, then marry her.
2) Be close (exactly how close I'm not sure - may or may not need to actually share a border) to another ruler of a different religion, and allow their missionaries in when/if they show up. This is apparently a slower process than #1 when it comes to your own ruler, but the missionary will begin converting (or at least, trying to convert) other characters in your lands.
3) Get holy warred (and maybe crusaded or jihaded - not sure on those) by someone of another religion. If this happens, there will be a button available in the intrigue screen that will allow you to convert to the attacker's religion, which should also bring the war to an end.
