That's nice, but, that's just one person's
opinion that he has put into his mod. However, I'm not at all sure what "bug" in vanilla he is referring to, in all the campaigns I've played, both vanilla and with the Retrofit, and I've played through
many full campaigns and run several full "test campaigns" in the past year and a half since this game was released, and I have
never once seen the Papacy
ever attack another Christian faction that wasn't excommunicated. Nor am I at all convinced that the Pope should "stay idle in his lands [and only] attack non-christian[s]", as I have discussed in my previous posts.
But, my point wasn't to dispute the "bug" hunting attempts of the Darth Mod, my main point to my participation in this discussion was to help
you better understand the historical
reality the Papacy played in medieval Europe. For example, regarding the notion that the Papacy never left Rome and never had any temporal military ambitions, I strongly recommend a reading of
Hawkwood, which is a non-fiction reference book about the life and times of Sir John Hawkwood, a mercenary prince-knight employed by the Papacy and Milan during the 14th century. The books is excellent, and goes into very great details about the wars the Papal States waged against Milan, Venice, HRE, and Sicily. The Pope was
nothing like the modern peace-loving Catholic Church we have today, but was a verifiable Holy Warrior at the head of an expansionist, military regime that dominated Italy throughout the 11th-15th centuries. Anyone who says otherwise knows
nothing about medieval politics.
As for the notion that it is not historical that the Papacy excommunicated fellow Christians, never attacked excommunicated Christians, or that Christians never took part in crusades against other Christians, this is
completely and utterly false. I've given you several book references and cited numerous examples in my previous posts. Read the books I mentioned or research the subjects I outlined if you really want to learn more about the history of warfare, and the role of the Papacy, in the middle ages.
Anyway, I hope this has helped you somewhat. Cheers.
