Yep, that would be great. :thumbup:

Good evening people! I'm going to be playing Pope Edel II.

 

As the pope I have the ability to aid you in any holy wars and stuff if I feel your country deserves it, I can also give you money and soldiers to help with your christian equivelant of jihad on a country or place. As an entity I can only be killed by lack of worship by all and due to the fact that most attempts of stopping religion have failed and the fact that I will be helping all the good people its not going to happen.

Even though I do not own the Vatican or any country I will call my brigade the Vatican.

 

This year I have allocated all of my funds into 5,000 knights of peter which peform well defence and attack wise and wear large spiked armour and white crusader uniform, these will be going to a country if I feel that any war is justified.

You mean a...crusade?

 

Also, it is possible that someone conquers the Papal states and murders all the cardinals and stuff. Then you would have to start up a new Papal structure.

Nex we need to talk about your spies....or, to be more correct, a pile of 398 bodies and 2 surviours....

Anyone going on a war?

If that happened then Spain would become the new Papal State :D

I previously was planning to assassinate him and enstate a new French pope, that would mean I controlled most of your nobles/masses as they were so religious and would probably go against their own ruler.

Of course...me having Castheo on my side(1 part of the 5 parts of the holy trinity) would help in my bid to be the new pope.

Because we know it won't happen...

actually. im just stunned that someone would actually go for trying to be the pope. seriously, edel. unless your jsut like the cardinel who runs the country or something.. then it doesnt work.

Italia condemns the new 'pope', and calls on all Catholic nations to do the same!

 

Also, how much do war cogs and war gallies cost?

I've talked about it with Retech and I can't proxy control people most of the time unless something is really anti-christian or something, besides in the animal kingdom you would all be mammals and I would be a gun that goes on the mammals back (Can't fight for itself but can pack a bigger punch when added onto something).

I think this is a bad idea...me and Dusty might have to work together to destroy the power....and that is never a good place to start from.

The seven lords of Italia call for a crusade against this new so-called pope.

The pope was already there and blatant hostility to the church could result in riots.

After consulting with the Holy Order of the Banhammer, the followers of Castheo have been told that the pope has been possessed by a malevolent spirit...thus Crete, Tunis and Castheo are immune to the Pope's power

Not sure about this. 5000 knights on a starter budget? Knights for 200 each...

 

Plus, it's going to be pretty difficult not to be biased.

 

"you're both devout worshippers, but I don't really like you, so the other guy gets free reinforcements courtesy of the pope."

 

I don't like the idea at all.

See Ross, there are defences against this sort of thing =P

The power of the pope is not decided by influence but by physical force like the amount of money and army I am allowed to give out so it has no effect and you can't decide if it works or not, if it doesn't work your blashphemising and it should result in a riot, if not then nothing happens anyway.

Okay, I don't like this at all. You just proxied his population.

 

Can you just play as a normal country? Poland, or something?

Our country doesn't believe in christianity, we're free to attack the pope.

Our country doesn't believe in the Pope...so we don't care.

Heh it's good to be the only person who is bulgarian orthodox. Oh and edel I urge you to reconsider as... certain people have orders of knights that would love to destroy the papalcy (read icu and myself) and if it becomes a sham the Knights of Santiago would very likely help as well.

?????

 

Why would a crusader order of Catholic knights help you heretics kill the Pope?

Yea, because devout Catholics would suddenly pledge their support to a heretical faction that just murdered the Pope...

Gah.

my line dusty. my line. the only thing im looking for is for something hilarious cooked up by retech to drastically reduce the power edewl has.
