Inquistiors? Not a problem

[Valiant.x]

If they are coming to your province, simply make a preist and walk him past the inquisitor. the inq will take the bait and go and trial him. just keep doingthis until they bugger off, works 99% of the time and saves valuable family members.

I did this last night on my HRE campaign. It seems to work really well.

Thanks for the tip. Will try this. Playing France at Moment and Inquisitors have killed off 40% of my family, some priests, some Princesses from various Factions and most recently they killed a merchant and a diplomat!!!

I really felt that they will soon be digging up my long dead Grand Mother and trying her for Witchcraft!! Really they are too silly for words. These guys knew what their job was: killing off silly impressionable women who upset villagers with odd stories of outlandish powers, sorting out 'in house' dissidents and up holding (yes - upholding) the rule of the elite, of the nobly born and of the powerful, these guys knew which side of the bread their butter was placed upon.

Same, I had a blasphemous general moving from one settlement to another and accidentally crossed the path of an inquisistor. Before I ended the turn, I pulled a level 2 piety priest from another settlement and had him join the heathen general. I was surprised to see the inquisitor kill the priest!

Only burning I've seen so far.

In my Scots campaign I've only seen one inquisitor and it wasn't in my lands.

If you don't like Inquisitors, don't play the HRE, that's all I have to say.

I'm HRE, turn 80, and only lost one character (a priest) to an inquisitor. :hmmm:

[Inhuman One]

I played the HRE and lost a prince to the inquisitor.

I can understand that though, but why can agents be burned too? they dont even have a piety status exept for the priest so this isnt really fair. burning priests is alright but diplomats and such makes no sense at all if they cant have a piety status.

I wonder if it looks at their available stats. For instance, when denouncing a merchant, it would look at his finance abilities; a diplomat, his influence; a priest, his piety. Just like an assassin, I noticed it's harder to kill high level piety units such as priests, highly influential diplomats, and highly financial merchants.

If you try this you're eventually run out of priests.

Hire a new one, they cost 200 florins.

If there are many inquisitors (like the 5 that we saw in one screenshot) you can quickly run out of priests, or at least grow tired of using one or two of them to send the inquisitors on a wild goose chase. I like to keep my priests in their settlements and have one or two converting neighboring provinces. I'm glad my inquisitors aren't crazy.

Don't jump to conclusions if you even don't have the game yet. =)

[RexMortali]

Had merchant with 3 ''stars'' and the inquisitor tryed to kill him and he couldn't. He tryed it once, twice... third time was the charm

[Valiant.x]

u cant run outta priests, just make new 1s. lol they only cost like 200 florins u cheap skate

[Fenris]

If you keep friendly with the pope, keep your regions very high in catholicism and kill systematicly the heretics, you shouldn't have much problems (not that they won't kill you, but they won't come to your regions, still keep your characters far when there is some at frontiers). What pisses me off the most right now is the assassins from the french who killed two faction leaders with full commandment in like 5 turns. And I can't kill anything with mines... and I've tried really hard... especially on low level imams, but no... doesn't work.

[Blizzard]

my newly appointed Cardinal was just burnt for God's sake
this is frustrating and stupid
don't know if its a bug or plainly lack of professionalism but inqusitors along with passive ai and the ladder screwing pathfinding bug are ruining the entire game (at least for me)

[Vann7]

Hey here a better tip. Just block all the inquisitors paths to your region using crappy peasants or the smaller /cheapiest units you have . if you left click on the inquisitor it will show all the possible paths he have to enter your region. :for example i place sometimes units or peasant archers with just ~20 soldiers (a cheap small unit that survived a battle). they are virtually free the cost of them per turn .Inquisitors will not be able to kill anyone in your lands since all the possible bridge and paths are blocked. The good thing is that this also protects your factions againts assasins ,non catholic priest and spies,merchants or any thing that walks alone .

also this allows to know when your faction will be atacked by an enemy army. the negative side effects of using cheap soldiers for too long time to block the paths to your regions is that diplomats of enemy factions will surely bribe and get them. but you can automatically wipe them easily with any general and get easily new experience and replace them with more cheap units .

yeh those french spies cause mega unrest in Caen

[Ketzerfreund]

Somehow that occurs to me as worse cheating than banning inquisitors by move_character...
