Thanks everyone for the replies!


I was playing around using save games to see what happened when I took out the papacy. didn't work the way I thought it might

I read about the technique of running the pope out of rome and leaving him in the papal states - destroying his buildings and effectively taking away his resources - but when I tried it, he just hung out in his castle - and I could'n't destroy any buildings.

I must be missing something -

Playing the Danes - "Crusades? We don't need no stinkin' Crusades"

thanks
(guess I should make a sig..)

BTW this is one of the Best Game forums/message boards I have ever come across (20 years in the computer industry) - great people and lots of good info - and folks are VERY willing to answer questions and help - thanks again!!
