    Talking Re: How to up piety stats.

    Crusades, Inquisitors and very good lineage. For exempel if you have king whit good stats and very good influence and your kings piety is 3.This may give your heir piety stat 4 and so on so on. I don't know how does buildings rise piety. If they do it at all. Since I had King that builded from nothing 8 churches and 12 monasterys. Also other religious buildings. Nothing.

    What comes to Papacy. Are you sure that it is your piety that is holding him back. Or is it because you are just a nice little King whit mighty sword.

    While I know its a long shot but I like to think that at least some parts of the diplomacy aspect actually make sense. Youre probably right that its my rather large armies holding the top half of the Italian peninsula though . . . .
    I think I'll pay even more attention to my lineage next time out (Im thinking French or Aragonese, havent played em yet), maybe spread sheet all me heirs when theyre born or something.

    A completed crusade is worth two piety.

    Really . . .
    And if piety is genetic, I should be able to sacrifise maybe my first couple of kings to the excommunications that are neccecary to build a nice core empire then uber crusade and ignore the pope for hopefully the rest of the game. Starting a French campaighn tonight so fingers crossed.
    Hah, yeah, Ive had the pope do that before, all the thousands lined up to take Constaninople by sea and then bam, no crusade and the pope is blockading me.

    I am starting to suspect that Piety DOES effect the Pope and his relationship with you. In my current French GA campaign since I took the 3 costal crusade provinces and had maxed out stats he has been real chummy. Italy and teh HRE have started wars with me and he has stayed allied to me. Also when the HRE attacked I retalliated and took Lorraine and Burgundy. I didn't even get a warning. I did not count up provinces but since I also hold England in addition to the outreamer provinces I suspect I was at the 2 to 1 point.

    Does the Piety bonus apply to a King who is not participating in the crusade himself?
