Hail to the Pope Baby!

[ImKyleJames]

Im having a real fun game I just started, and i'm playing as the Pope!

One thing I was wondering about is I saw in the beggining it said "excommunicate factions at will", i believe. How do I do this?

It's pretty neat, playing as the Pope, I got to execute the French King as a Heretic that was sweet , does that trigger the Excommunication maybe? I dunno, didn't this time. Also, when requesting a crusade on Cordoba it told me no the Pope doesn't think he should.. and im like.. "im the friggin Pope!" lol.

So, anyone played with the Pope any and can give me some tips on how to sway the Catholic power around a little bit?!

if king is dead excomunication is over its meant to be a personal thing not nationwide.

so you think because you are the pope you can do as you please?
behave or you are having no icecream tonight boy!

LOL Ya man, I do expect to do some Pope Pwnage. PP Nukka!

Ya I came back to update, like a few turns later it allowed the Crusade on Cordoba which I wanted cause I truly dont trust those Moors, plus went to see and it's a nice town with lots of men, cool battle coming up!

As playing the Pope, I also turned the Dark Ages of (hopefully), just cause hey.. I am the Pope and sometimes you just dont want all hell breaking loose I understand the Dark Ages thing, and I like it alot, it's awesome and it's meant to make the player struggle once again and he's got plenty of time to come back even if he has just a tiny bit left (unless moneys vanish :O). I will play with it on as The HRE when I feel like running and gunning, that's gonna be ALOT of fun. Yet, for right now I wanted to take it easy, watch my babies grow and slowly forge a Catholic Paradise. I take my sweeeet ass time and dont take advantage of anything. Im happy to announce also that the money is finally rolling in. I took time to examine the faq and duh it answered alot of my questions, heh.

Best part so far, is I get these badass Inquizitors to emerge and hunt their blasphemous prey. Too cool! I got to control them ya, but they'll move around by themselves if I forget about them and that's the best thing I've ever seen!!

This setup is perfect, I can take my time, have a strong challenge, be limited in what I could do so it keeps me honest you know and I have a glorious 900 turns to do it in. Good stuff.

Well, I'm going to go finish my 12pack and keep working on my pearl, Rome.

btw, I have Rome, Florence, Cagulari, and... MALTA! Ya man hehe. That's it, and will be for probably a couple hundreds years or so. Heh, I just wanna play puppet master.
