What does violence for priests do?

[Czin]

While it's fairly easy to guess what a priest's score in other attributes does, I could never guess what the violennce attribute determines, but if I had to fathom a guess I would say it had something to do with denouncing heretics. I would like to hear the answer from those who know for sure.

[Jared Sinn]

I would guess, that if a priest becomes pope, he may be more inclined to call crusades, attack other factions, excommunicate for small offences, or other violent sort of actions. I could be wrong, just a guess but seems to make sense to me. Of course I could be giving the AI too much credit.

I agree with Jared Sinn but I want to add that maybe it causes the chance to denounce heretics will go up.

No it's just the odds of accepting a crusade.

What about purity?

[Highi]

And does anyone know what purity does for priests? Does it make them harder to bribe when they become pope?

[MonkeyD]

More importantly what dark deeds transpire when a priest has a choir boy........

Just a guess, I'm assuming Purity decreased chance of losing your priest to a witch, and Orthodoxy decreases the chance of losing him to a Heretic.

Speaking of which, has anyone seen a witch in the campaign yet? I had to modify desc_strat to finally see one.

I saw one, once. She had three magic points.

This.

I'm getting slow.

Violence for priests makes them into great generals if you use the right mod

[Lennert]

I see them all the time, nasty things...

You guys haven't seen witches? Consider yourselves lucky. My campaign is infested with witches at the moment, I have around 70 provinces, and 70 priests with around 200 watchtowers just to spot witches. They're driving me mad.

I guess it's because in my games there are usually half a million inquisitors and high peity priests running around. Most witches start with low magic in my games and are eliminated a turn after they show up.

Any hotspots for witches?? I'm always getting em popping up around Bran and E Europe. Dont recall too many in W Europe.

Violence for priests? makes em harder to bump off?
