I think it's quite a good idea to keep the Kaiser from being burned at the stake. On reflection.

However, I strongly suspect there's a large Hungarian army bearing down on us from just nearby and if it attacks us we will be forced by the format of this game to fight it as an offensive battle won't we? Which would get us excommunicated anyway..Cecil am I wrong about that?

If I'm right and we want to avoid excommunication maybe the best thing is to withdraw from Budapest and go fight the Milanese instead to avenge Becker. Then if the Magyar come calling they'll be on our land and we can defend ourselves without incurring Papal wrath.

Is that right?

I'm not quite sure of the specifics, which is why I left some room for maneuvering in the Kaiser's latest tirade. From what I remember (and this is probably more likely to be wrong), defensive battles don't trigger the Pope's wrath, offensive battles do, without respect to territory or anything like that.
