Orthodox is a eastern Christian religion in the game Medieval 2: Total War. Russia and the Byzantine Empire are followers of this religion. Unlike Catholic or Islamic factions, the followers of the Orthodox faith can not unite in a crusade or jihad, and, like Islam, they have no centralized authority, and won't receive missions from the pope, participate in papal elections or face threats of excommunication.
One advantage for factions that are Orthodox is that they never get a Crusade called on them no matter what. The other advantage is access to the Ikonic Art buildings, which make Religious Conversion easier.
