That Damn Crazy Pope...

[Rogal Dorn]

So in my mod, the Pope decides to go war-happy on the HRE after excommunicating them sometime between turns 20-30 (every campaign). Since the Pope has God instantly produce full-stack, overpowered armies, those poor Germans don't last very long. Quite annoying if I'm allied with them... and now, I'm actually scared of the Papal States !
Is there any way to make the Papal States less aggressive, or stop the Pope from excommunicating the HRE? I'm afraid I might have to delve into the descr_campaign_ai_db file, which makes my head hurt just looking at it.

Maybe you should download a Ultimate AI 1.6 ?
I use this mini mod (only file descr_campaign_ai_db). I am satisfied.

I guess I have to, I'd really rather not mess with that beastly file. Thanks.

Rather no, in any case I only a bit know that.
But I will tell you, when I want fight the all time (total war ) I am playing on descr_campaign_ai_db ....from vanilla

This is a descr_campaign_ai_db from Ultimate AI 1.6:

Rogal Dorn: maybe this script will help. Just add it to your campaign_script file:

;###### Papal States finances script #######

	monitor_event FactionTurnStart FactionType papal_states
		and Treasury >= 15000		
		add_money papal_states -10000	
	end_monitor

How comes that? The pope should have the same recruitment options than any other factions in Italy.

Or are you talking about crusades called against the Reich? Simple sollution: Remove the crusading_target tag from all settlements save those that should be legitimate crusading targets (Jerusalem and the like). In particular don't leave any possible crusading targets in western Europe, save may be for southern Spain.
