Peace with the Papal States

**Jerat** · January 15, 2010, 09:54 PM

In my current HRE campaign, the pope thought that it was blasphemy to deffend my Empire against the 10 factions which are attacking me so he also started a War against me. Ok, I managed to destroy his several fullstacks with a few problems, but at the end I conquered Rome.
Now a new pope is elected every turn and spawns near Rome and every turn I kill him. It is not very annoying, I like to decorate the Streets of my Capital with Pope-Heads, but I would like to end the fight and make Peace. But the Pope does not accept a ceasefire.
So, is there a cheat or something, which forces him to accept the ceasefire? Or is it possible to end this pope-spawning?

Can't end it but of you want to cheat use the add_money one
then ask the pope to forgive you by giving all your money.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

The pope will go on rampage and conquer, like he did on my campaign.
I was stupid enough to give him 1 billion florins...
imagine what he did...

What I did playing as England in vanilla in a similar situation was I kept killing the respawning pope until only my Cardinals were left in the college. Thus when the Pope was elected, he was mine, and I got full relaions with him and was re-communicated. If you don't have any cardinals though...

hmm, I think it would be difficult to conquer something, he only has his Bodyguard unit left. Well he could recruit mercenaries, but this would not be a big deal^^

Go conquer some random settlement far far away, and offer it to the Pope in exchange for peace.

The college will run out of cardinals some day, and the catholics will run out of 5+ priests some day too. At that time there is no Pope, but there will be Papal States, however. The best option, thus, is to give him a territory far, far away (at best an Island, so he won't border anyone) in exchange for peace, and later, reconcillation.

$$Big money$$ + give the Pope a place to call home. You will become his cheif source of income and he will be VERY grateful towards you...

If you also give him a region, he might (all right then, he will

)build a huge army with the money you gave him. But if he has only his bodyguard left, and you don't gift him a region everything will be fine. There are not that many mercenaries you'll have to worry about.
