Popemobile

[Paskanakki-Jack]

Hellohello everybody, first of all, I just want to say thank you for a brilliant mod. Great work people!

I downloaded the mod just yesterday and I was wondering if it's possible to destroy the Papal States for good and to get rid of that damn pope completely in SS6.4?


Thanks beforehand!

Nope, he just drives around in the Popemobile.

[StupidAlarmClockGuy]

Which Pope we talking about? In-game guy? Benny? The black D'Angelo person?

Each pope requires different means with which to be disposed, so I have heard.

Nothing says "God protects me" Like riding in a bullet proof vehicle.

Even if you destroy all his cities and armies, papacy will still exist. The only way to completely get rid of him is to destroy all catholic factions.

this is from another topic a while back but: (p.s. still has a 'turn' but no one moves and no pope so its not really alive, like the rebels w/o any on the map).

whenever i play as a catholic nation i always use 'em to control the pope....get about 3 lvl 8 and up assasians sitting around rome and just off the pope whenever ur on attacks and the excomunication warnings never come....one i got pissed cause the pope attacked me so I wiped out the papal states, i mean wiped out...i killed all there cities, armies, and every single cardinal (took like 30 turns of assassians) and evidently once there's no cardinals u don't get any new ones, so no pope...it was a spain game pre ss.

but yeah...outside of catholic i use them here and there usually have one or two running around to clean up inqusitors/merchants/spies/other assassians testy generals...but don't use them like a plague. Oh and yes...the ai uses assasians even when u don't, and also when you do...they just don't go to extremes. And u can still get kills in forts so he musta missed the roll.

the greatest use for assassians that i've found, especially catholic nations wise...is if u get a crusade/jihad called on u...just get 3 or 4 and kill all the generals a turn away from the target city and the armies dissolve. I always have extra cause u eventually get caught and at least one misses...usually 3 of the 4 lol. The coolest cut scenes are the cardinals one...the pope one is kinda lame by comparison...way cooler to crawl from under the altar.

p.s. i agree with above mongols are next to incrediable at surviving assassians....

The Pope's a high rolla; cruising around in a Benz and all.

I'm waiting for the Ferrari Popemobile to appear.

It has a soundproffed room and tinted windows for the Popes...pleasure.

He's also at war with a guy who got kidnapped by ninjas earlier this year.

Assassinate the Pope until every faction runs out of cardinals. Now there is no Pope to appoint new cardinals and there are no cardinals to elect a new Pope. Now you have to kill every agent the Papal States still have running around.

Wouldn't they keep recruiting priests who would be automatically appointed cardinals? If you do really extensive assassinations, you might eliminate the papacy for a turn or two, but the faction's AIs would keep making new priests thus cardinals thus popes. unless you destroyed the catholic world altogether. Honestly it works just as well to make the papal states your vassal. When there's nothing but a pope left, it's really easy
Edit, 666th post! And one on fighting the church, interestingly enough.

What he said. Just keep killing them off and they will run out eventually.

But no, you cant just sack Rome and the pope will stop coming back.

[k/t]

They need a certain amount of Piety to be appointed cardinals.

[Andytheplatypus]

Yea but if your a catholic faction then eventually there will be another pope because you have priests. If your not catholic then there will still probably be a pope eventually because of the randomly spawning priests of dead factions.
