Pope for Mordor

[Adjudant-Major]

I pick this up from the suggestions topic :

I know how to make a faction playable, but what about the 'papal' features ? is the player able to call other factions for crusades than ?

With a simple script, yes

I think this would be interesting, especially for those, like me (if there is anybody else), who like to play a "singleplayer hotseat", to have Sauron/pope with Mordor and actually decide the targets and timings for the invasions.

Simple script you say... how about the game interface ? I would try it, but I don't have the game here at the moment

You can call crusades on the same way as with another faction

I am not sure I really see it. Let's say I am Isengard, I ask Sauron to call an invasion against Edoras, but the Dark Lord is just another playable faction (or better, he is with Mordor) - does it work like the diplomacy in the hotseat than, that means the Dark Lord's faction gets the request at the beggining of it's next turn and the player may say yes or no ?

Or the simple signleplayer : being a "papal faction", I simply go to the Dark Lord menu, I choose the target, and the invasion is automatically approved ?

Can the human player actually decide freely his stance towards the other evil factions for their actions ?

I doubt it would be automatically approved ; the best way to be sure of it would be a script to force the success of the papal states faction askings.

No

Ok... that would mean the only thing we really obtain by making the papal faction playable is to prevent the AI to force us to do invasions, right ?
