The pope is evil! He makes nothing but trouble. How do we deal with him?
I'm currently playing as the Danes. I'm trying to build a trading empire instead of conquering land.
I took Flander from the Germans while they were being excommunicated, so I dont get penalized for the invasion. This province almost doubled my trading income. One day the English decided to march a crusade into France. They asked for permission to enter Flander. I refused for two reasons: 1) I didn't want them to drain my elite army. 2) I had many cute French princess in my royal palace, I didn't want to see them cry. The stupid pope excommunicated me for this. So I sent a group of 6 assassins to teach him a lesson. Two of them were killed while trying to enter the castle of Rome, one sacrificed himself to lure away the pope's bodyguards, another one was caught by the bodyguards after "finishing" the pope, only two made the way back to home. Those six brave young men were later named "The True Norsmen" by the royal court.
My trading business was going very well, my ships were in every corner of the world. Then this crack brained Italian king decided to try his luck. He attacked my ships and robbed my merchants. I thought he'd know better than stealing from a Viking. But with a moron sitting in Rome, anything could happen. So I had to take justice into my own hands. Ten of my best trained spies secretly landed on the Italian coast. They successfully incited the poor enslaved Italians to revolt in every major port. All their ports and shipyards were destroyed during the riot. I then went on to take the Italian islands, so that I could build a naval base and station a fleet in the south just in case the crack brained Italians didn't learn their lesson.
The Italians were behaving, but the pope obviously didn't learn from his predecessor. He excommunicated me again. I said "fine, bye bye stupid popy". Ten spies were sent to each of the provinces he owned. Apparently people in his land didn't like him any better than I did. A large amount of people immediately revolted against him. The pope ran like a chicken. He hided inside his golden palace and starved to death.
Once and for all, theres no more pope. A new order has been installed, that all kindoms in Europe shall follow my rule! http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/cool.gif
