    Default Papal Empire

    hay im just interested to know if anyone has played as the Papal States and managed to carve out an empire under direct control of the Pope

    like coming good on the donation of constantine

    also is there any way to change the Byzantines back to the pope? in the actual game or in the files?

    Playing the Papal states is very boring. Every one that attacks you is excommunicated. The only nice thing about the Papal states is that you get inquisitors which you can use to kill almost every one you don't like. I used them to get rid of assassins.
    Officer to a soldier who refuses to fight: There three types of soldiers who don't have to fight. They are called KIA, MIA and POW and you are not one of them.

    Tosa will be missed.

    So:
    Inquisitors = dread-free assassins?

    I played as the papal states once and didn't like it very much. I couldn't call any crusades, even after building huge cathedrals and training priests everywhere.

    Yes. Simply move the papal_states from the unplayable section to the playable section in descr_strat.txt. As simple as that.

    Not sure if you could make the Byzantines the Pope and I'm not sure if they ever where to be honest, not sure though,

    However you could.... (if you were a good modder)

    1. Remove the Byzantine/Roman faction. (fairly easy)

    2. Rename the Pope to 'The Byzantine Empire' or 'The Roman Empire' etc

    3. Change the Religion to Catholic I guess? (if the Pope is still Byzantine then the great schism would never of occured in your gameplay, so thus the Byzantines would not become Orthodox)

    4. Change the EDU's, desc_strat files, colours of units, actuall units themselves.



    Voilla - you now have a Byzantine Pope :S


    (may need someone exp to do it though )
