2 questions

I've got two unrelated but interesting questions about M2TW:

1. Will there be regional units? I was looking forward to recruiting some godentag wielding troops in the Netherlands into my Imperial Army.

2. What will happened when you wipe out the Papal faction? As I recall factions don't just "come back" with the Rome Total War engine, which Medieval 2 uses. It would be neat is Catholic factions could install a new pope that favors them.

My guess is that Rome will revolt every turn or two untill you let the papal states return to power (thats how it was in MTW) Think the hord armys of BI except with the backing of the church

that was so stupid
i hated it when they poped out every 2 turns
its not realistic at all.
When you conquer rome, you should be able to set up your own pope

. Then all the catholic factions should wage a war with you automatically. And send their armies until the papacy is restored.

ya, that would be pretty cool, but i have a feeling, that if you attack the papacy, the pope will tell every catholic faction to attack you, so you basically will get killed before you can take out the papacy.

attacking the papacy wouldn't be realistic.
No country dared to attack because of the church ban.(Rember that evry one could kill you if the pleased.
Be fair : only the realist sneak politicle compromises could "guide " the papaci

yes but what if you were really powerfull to do it? It hasn't happened in the history, because no catholic country was strong enough to fight the whole europe. But if it was strong enough, it would take papacy down with the rest of...
