    i have had an empty college of cardinals once.
    tried to murder the Pope before he appointed any, but the turn i was going to kill him was the turn he nominated 5 cardinals

    Heheh yeah, it has gotten worse now. If it wasn't up to me, there would have been just one cardinal. Currently there are 2 of mine, so a total of 3. I win by votes

    edit: to clarify, the genoese cardinal you see is currently the pope and Niccolo and Pius have died. Only Mirogod with his scary face is still in it from that picture...

    The current pope is from my nation too. I really like Genoa. It's certainly the most fun faction to play with up till now. Seriously! Don't know why.

    On a serious note, if the wages are more than £64.00/wk I would like to apply (I'm not a charity, I don't work for free).

    CV and references available upon request.

    Didn't realise these positions became available, always thought the College of Cardinals promoted from within!

    But you are aware that this means no girls, no kids (well, that is officially) and going to church more than just sundays, aren't you?

    Well, back in those days, where being cardinal was politics, nieceties like the whole celibacy thing were ignored if you were powerful enough. So given the game's historical context, I dibs one of those positions!

    Did you expect it to get any worse?

    It just did.



    Currently the 2nd Genoese pope is in place, the polish cardinal died a turn before it. The pope now is 58. He will die soon and then Frolio (Frodo?) will take the power. What happens after?

    Republic of Rome anyone? Hahah.

    I've never seen this been so bad. Catholic priests suck!

    I told you to quit stabbing them down! I'm running a test on what happens if the Pope and all his cardinals are dead. Will post a result soon.

    Why don't take advantage of this? Start spamming priests! Preferable from the same settlement, and one with a Theology guild. Once you get one of them upgraded to Head Quarters, pretty much any priest recruited there will have enough piety to be a Cardinal. Keep recruiting them, and dominate the College of Cardinals, and ensure you've always got a national pope.
    That'll be a nice advantage against fellow catholic enemies!

    Does anyone actually know what happens if the pope dies and there are no cardinals? I think the game burns down with a note: 'no cardinals? raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage'
