1) Open "descr_sm_factions.txt" in
"installed folder"\Medieval II Total War\mymod\data

2) Find the Papal States (Search papal_states)

3) Original edition:

5) That's it

- No more excommunications, no more pope

NB! Faction leader still has the pope's model on campaign map

6)(Optional) You also should edit "campaign_descriptions" and "expanded" in "installed folder"\Medieval II Total War\mymod\data\text

7)(Optional) In "expanded" file change these

Code:

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FACTION_LEADER}Papal States Pope

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FACTION_LEADER_TITLE}Pope

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FACTION_LEADER_NAME}Pope %S

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FACTION_HEIR_NAME}!DO NOT TRANSLATE! PLAYER SHOULD NOT SEE THIS!

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FORMER_FACTION_LEADER_TITLE}Pope

to

Code:

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FACTION_LEADER}Papal States Leader

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FACTION_LEADER_TITLE}King

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FACTION_LEADER_NAME}King %S

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FACTION_HEIR_NAME}Prince %S

{EMT_PAPAL_STATES_FORMER_FACTION_LEADER_TITLE}King

4) Congratulation England is the new papal state

4.1) You can add this line to any faction and to any religion
4.2) The pope only favors factions that are the same religion
4.3) That means if you add this line to Islam religion faction then all other Islam religion factions will start favoring the "Papal States"
4.4) Same is with Orthodox

5) (Optional) If you add this line to any Islam faction then you can call Jihads besides Crusades

6) (Optional) You can also add this to an Orthodox faction but you can't call the Crusades - Result CTD

**Octavius** · January 10, 2007, 03:19 PM

To call a crusade with an orthodox faction, I think you must modify descr_missions.txt too, adding "orthodox" religion in the list of the religions that can call crusades.

**AngryTitusPullo** · January 23, 2007, 07:35 PM

Is there anywhere where we can edit to check where the target of Crisade/Jihad can be ? I mean it's funny earlier in the campaign as Egypt where you can call for Jihad to London.

**Sher Khan** · January 23, 2007, 08:17 PM

Wait wait... if you make an Islamic nation a special 'papal_states' faction and the other Muslim factions will 'favor' the new papal states, what happens to say the college of cardinals?

Does this make a 'pope' figure for the Islamic faction in question? Is it possible, this way, to create a 'caliph' with this?

Can there be TWO papal_states factions? Two popes, or a pope and a caliph, or a pope, caliph, and patriarch?

UHHH... Good question.

Why doesn't someone try it out. I would, but I have a slow and stressing pc and I would rather not get into this.

important addition to this:
when you follow correctly all of the editing and then decide say like me you play as Milan alot and want to make them the new papal faction you need to on the line you editing in giving the original papal states a family tree you need too change Milans(or whatever faction your changing) from yes to no for the family tree or your game
will end everytime the pope dies

Edited the first post, thanks.

Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but I have a question regarding this topic. In the Sundering mod, egypt has the "special faction type papal faction" line. All works well, but when they lose their last settlement, their agents stay alive, but they do not get a settlement from another faithful catholic faction like they should. If the player gives them a settlement, all goes well again.
Can you please help me pointing our where can I change this script?

**Scipio236** · November 06, 2013, 09:50 PM

Very interesting this option.

**totalwarfan25** · September 05, 2016, 02:02 PM

Does anybody know if it is possible to add another "special_faction_type" so i can have more than 1 "pope" or papal election screen?

no sorry

**M.A.E** · May 07, 2018, 09:41 AM

can someone implemented this in a mod before ? is that hardcoded ? if we add it to a faction what does the cardinals is replaced by ?

and if it changes from catholic to say pagan and tred to change all -catholic- to -pagan- in appropriate files does it make pagan crusades on others ?
