Playable Papal States mod

**sam_0_12345** · November 11, 2007, 08:49 PM

Hi, is there any mod out there that lets you play as the Papal states? I know you can change the descr_stat file and stuff but it is still riddled with bugs, you cant crusade or anything. I know there are mods to make the mongols playable as well so there must be a papal states mod. If you know of any please post. thanks

Which mods can u use to play as papal states, I've always been interested as well?

You don't need a mod. Just go to X:\Program Files\SEGA\Medieval II Total War\data\world\maps\campaign\imperial_campaign (X representing the hard drive you saved the game to) and go to Descr_Strat. Cut Papal States from non-playable and dump them into playable.

You can also play rebels with this, which I think is great for beginners as you get a chance to fight with every troop type there is. Just tax until you can't tax no more, then tax a bit more! Towns can't rebel against the rebels and you get new armies practically every turn.

Yes but playing like this is is filled with bugs

That method seems to work well, no bugs that I was aware of. I played all the way to the New World with the Papal States once.

Did you have control of inqusitiors?

You do. You can't recruit them, they just spawn in random areas. And yes it is random, not heresy areas (although that may be a contributing factor).

The only bug I can think of is the crusader actions. You can join and all, but I used to get 'Not enough favor to suggest a crusade' and there is no representation of yourself. But if you build a few churches and attack someone to make them an enemy of Christendom, then attack in righteous fury, you can ask for crusades just fine.
Hell hath no fury like Heaven :b

There are no Bug as papal States. You can even call crusades.

When I play as the papal states some one usually goes to war with me. Catholic faction)

you called a crusade as the papal states? i did't think that was possible.

**Oberhut** · November 13, 2007, 05:50 AM

Do they get auto excomunicated??

**Evolution** · November 13, 2007, 08:36 AM

Yes they do.

**J@mes** · November 13, 2007, 12:53 PM

Yes just at the start of the game as the papal states you cannot call a crusader because you do not have enough papal points so just build church and priest.

I did a search for "papal points" but couldn't find that phrase anywhere else.

Is papal points the correct phrase, how do you determine how many papal points you have? i went three turns in but couldn't call a crusade.

**Silverheart** · December 11, 2010, 07:21 AM

When playing as the Papal states, I have never been able to call a crusade.
I understood it as such, that you simply can´t, because "the papal states" doesn´t have any pope-o-meter like the other catholic factions.

And it´s not hard making the Pope playable. I just went to youtube and made a search "unlock all factions" - found a great vid that thoroughly explained it.
