Keep the Pope

[Lighthope]

(I posted this in response to something else in another forum, but the subject makes for a good suggestion)

Me, personally, I don't think the Pope should be eliminated. He makes a very nice thorn in the side of Catholic nations. Adds a degree of difficulty, always wondering whether you should tell the Pope to sod off or let him take your knight on one of his stupid cursades. I also like to be able to bribe a bunch of nations at one time by sending money to the Pope.

Yeah, conqour the Papacy, but let the Pope always be there with his influence. If Papacy ever gets taken over, the Pope can have the faithful try to re-establish it.

Pearls of Wisdom - Watch it - you're trying my infinite patience!

[Lighthope]

The Pope is far too busy to be bothered with converting individual provinces.

I've never noticed a negative response when I have turned down a crusade. Of course I didn't see any benefit from accepting one either. Except getting a vassal out of the deal.

[Damn Dirty Ape]

pope has no real purpose except being annoying so..

[Angryminer]

...and I think that's quite realistic.

If you do the other option, insted of getting a vassal you get loads of money.

one time pope offerd me crusade i turned it down then another one and again another one till all my knights were asked but i turned it all down then got excommunicated :silly:


it was really fun though

[Damn Dirty Ape]

another point that i noticed bydaway... you choose plunder when on crusade, so you don't loose a good marshal right... well after you plunderd around a bit, everybody actually feels less of you, while it was an order from the pope... What's up with that.. I know those european christians in the day would love to plunder the muslims, doesn't make sence

[Hector]

if u want to satisfy the pope just accept his crusade then right after declare peace with that realm


ur marshal will turn normal then


the problem is when u have 3 starred units they will be gone so u wont be seeing them back
