Hi There,
In my campaign Sicily has conquered Rome and destroyed the Papal States faction. But there is still a Pope. And this Pope hates England (nothing new there!), which is my faction. He has excommunicated England, even though I've done nothing worse than any other faction! Anyway, I wanted to ask: what normally happens after the Papal States are destroyed? Thanks in advance for replies.
You cannot destroy them. There is no such thing as taking Rome causing the Papal states' destruction unless you modded it that way.
Hi FactionHeir,
Thanks for this.
OK, I must be going crazy. When I played on my last session, I could not see the Papal States' yellow colour on the map. In fact, Rome looked grey, and as Sicily was rampaging through Italy, I kinda thought they'd taken Rome. Now I'm wondering if maybe Rome turned rebel for a turn or so, because, having checked, I see that Rome is yellow again and - as you rightly say - the Pope is still on his throne and bossing people about. And so, my error I think. Thanks again!
think i killed of the pope ten times in a row and he kept popping up, ready for a new beating. if i do remember right the papal states did not even control any region, think he has got some horde ability going for him.
