RTOs never go well... once you start using a religions as a tool of war, they usual end up getting smashed. Like the Flow from Fontan...
I thought the dev team got rid of RTOs for the new TO system?
No, there never was such a thing as an "RTO." That's just the colloquial name for the Declare Religious State option for priests.
It has never had anything to do with the takeover code, and I'm growing increasingly convinced that it needs a nerf.
