Pope disapproval?

[Snake_Tornado]

I was looking through the stats of some builldings in the export_descr_buildings.txt file, when I noticed that all of the temples of Sauron have an attribute called "pope_disapproval 1" in them, which I can only assume lowers your popularity with the old dark lord himself. Some of the later tiers have "pope_approval 1", which I assume counters that, but... what gives? Why would building temples to Sauron make him not like you?

[THEMANMAN]

The first ones built are way too small and he wants you to build bigger ones to impress him...duh

[Snake_Tornado]

Maybe, but... I dunno, if I were a dark lord and somebody built shrines to me, I think I'd like them at least a bit more than if they didn't build anything at all.... I mean, what the hell kind of sense does that make?

[Evan MF]

Yes, this doesn't seem to make sense. But are yousure this is what you saw and you are not mistaken?

[Snake_Tornado]

No, I'm pretty close to positive about it

[Santeri]

Yeah. I can conform that. Really strange
Could somebody give us reason?

[JorisofHolland]

Yes someone could:

But I'm not someone.

I'm gonna go with THEMANMAN on the answer, i'm guessing it was a joke within the mod team or something. cause that is pretty cool to have Sauron basically act like 'not big enough, build me another one... NOW OR I'LL SICK AN INVASION ON YOUR ARSE!' YOu know, it's sort of in character

It almost happened to me.
I almost simultaneously conquered few silvan settlements, and ofc I built shrines there to convert culture.
Next turn I had a message about worsened relation with Dark Lord. He was not very fond of me already since I did not participate in two stupidest invasions I ever see.

[JorisofHolland]

Yes. Except he's not stupid enough. He's way to smart, actually.

[Kilt in the Wind]

jokes aren't always stupid, unless you follow slapstick. they can be clever, in the case of this one, or a monty python skit

[Kilt in the Wind]

haha that Sauron, he can be such a prune :p

[Dominick]

Haha this makes me laugh! But it is not so much of my problem 'cause i play with good ol' Gondor!
