what on Earth does that mean?
Hi neoiq5719,
Alex the Great is requesting information on how the Papal States manged to become so powerful in his Spanish campaign. Hope this helps you understand, cheers!
Well i find that when the pope gets a taste for blood he keeps looking for it, such as in my last game milan got excommunicated for something then the pope goes up and wipes them out of their little power bastion along with the HRE florence and basiellie (sp?), then goes on to take over bern, that place north of vencie, the place west of genoa, luckily i was the egyptians and decided to promptly invade rome rather let the pope assume the title of ruler of all of central europe.
And if your spain with a million dollars i would take on both the mongols and pope just so he doesnt get any funny ideas later.
If you have that much money....Just start building max units available every turn in every city and keep on sending them over to the front. They may not be high quality, but numbers always win eventually
the predisposition of italian factions to be aggressive against other catholic factions probably led them to be excommed. Enter the pope and his armies, additionally its not out of the realm that he was gifted some provinces as well.Quote:

He's still in the Holy Land with a half-stack, though, apparently waiting for a chance to take Jerusalem back.
