Getting recommunicated

i have noticed that a excommunicated faction does get communicated before the pope dies, always wondered why that happened. never put it together with the offending king's death. man is there no end to the nuances of this game

How very true

Here we are after nine years discussing whether you can get communicated back into the Catholic faction.

I think it can happen like this: King dies; if at war with Pope you are re-communicated/excommunicated following the Pope invading your province; you end up in any conflict with a faction (offensive/defensive/at sea) with any faction you have been warned to not attack.

I have seen it, but I have always received notice.

Certainly seems a good fit. Not quite "bespoke" but I like it :)

There is a legend in Japan that a rabbit makes mochi on the moon, from the moon (as both mochi a moon have the same whitish appearance iirc). Mochi is a glutinous, sticky and ductile rice cake - very popular with children. In particular nights of the lunar cycle, there is a tradition in eating mochi to honor that. I think your avatar depicts the rabbit making mochi :)

There is one more thing about excom that baffles me. I am now playing the Danish early expert vanilla V 2.0. The pope kept in the shadow for quite a time. I conquered Saxony, Brandenburg, Pomerania, Frankonia, Lorraine, Friesland, Swabia and only when I tried Burgundia the pope did issue an excom warning. What took him so long? (it's question 1). Moreover, I had a warning, so I took a couple of years' pause (it is NOT 10 years as the warning demanded), but then my king, and in a year the pope died. So I invaded Switzerland, and I didn't get excommed (!!!), but instead one more warning. Does it mean that when your king/pope dies the warnings are made void (as well as the excom is lifted), so the (new) pope has to warn the (new) king again?
