Help with the Papacy

**Lord Diego von Hapsburg** · October 12, 2011, 03:54 PM

Hello comrades! I'm playing a few days ago SS 6.4 and am quite enjoying it! I'm playing on medium difficulty, whereas AI was enhanced to various actions. But I would like to ask one thing: how to reconcile myself with the Papacy? I (HRE) was allied with them since the second round, but always making war with Denmark, France, Poland, Norway, England ... but after that I suffered an invasionHello comrades! I'm playing a few days ago SS 6.4 and am quite enjoying it! I'm playing on medium difficulty, whereas AI was enhanced to various actions. But I would like to ask one thing: how to reconcile myself with the Papacy? I (HRE) was allied with them since the second round, but always making war with Denmark, France, Poland, Norway, England ... but after that I suffered an invasionfor Scotland on the coast of France ... good, in some way (diplomacy) they liked the Pope (money) and the next turn I defended my fiefs, the Pope attacked Bologna. Since then suffered Cruz, and all states Catholics live disrupting my current raiding war with Lithuania.

Given the above, how can I reconcile myself with the Papacy? I've come to kill the Pope in the battlefield, Ancona took him, and only left Rome. It is easier to extinguish the Papal States?

Thank you!

Hello! Wow! Now I noticed that the text has doubled, I apologize.

Well .. are invincible, why live resurgence?

As for money, has offered 1 / 3 of my imperial treasury, with the request for ceasefire + reconciliation + trade rights, but the greedy nor considered. I'll have to endure this war by how many popes? It is the second, and my cardinals are not elected simply because we are isolated in the college of cardinals.

What the hell ...

dont offer it in one packet, give say 10k denars as gift, next turn repeat, next turn repeat, next turn repeat, then offer 20k + ceasfire, next turn offer 20k for reconcile, next 5 turns after offering the regular 10k as gifts go for alliance.

very expensive but works, i did this in my scotland campaign, after giving europe a royal kicking up the ass

Hmm I understand, I'll try! But as for trying to kill invading Rome and the Papal State. It will rise again?

As long as there are cardinals alive a new pope will be elected every time the last one dies.

Even if we do not have more territory, even if Rome is occupied?

**captainnemo55555** · October 13, 2011, 04:37 PM

Yes. Even without a single territory the Papal States will live.

**delra** · October 13, 2011, 05:04 PM

If you need Rome, just sell the Pope a town elsewhere. My suggestion: Paris.

I regularly sell the Pope my crusade targets too. He defends them with his own pocket money and I get rep boost.

**Ultra123** · October 13, 2011, 07:38 PM

haha! that sounds hilarious delra! i think ima have to do that next time i take a random city in the holy lands instead of selling it off to norway!

(i love the thought of vikings in middle east!)

**delra** · October 13, 2011, 08:38 PM

Heh. If only those Vikings had proper archers to deal with all the rabble Muslim factions are training...

Just take Rome and then make peace/alliance with him. or you could give him a city like Baghdad and relocate him. I always love watching the Papacy flourish in the Middle East, fighting the Muslims, pagan Mongols, and any other enemies of God.
