Something you've probably never seen

Before you ask: No, i haven't hacked the Papacy, neither the faction names, nor cloned it...

ZXMOD, the Pope decides he can kick me off the seas with 3 galleys VS a few dozens fire, war and gun galleys...
In response as the Italians I invade Rome, while at the same time the Pope sends an army against Naples.

Results: no fight, the Pope escapes to the papal states while a small garrison stays in the castles, while the offensive army seemingly retreats from Naples after having seen the odds.

After all this stuff I fully expected an excommunication, instead this message arrived for my delight...

Wow, lucky you I guess

I've never seen the Byzantinians survive that well heh. It would have been cool if you could see the papal area in the screenshot but I know you can't move the screen with a message.

Yeah, the Byz surviving that far is quite unusual, since I started optimizing the AI the game is developing a mind of its own...

You can do a lot of good by tinkering with the starting units/development for the small factions, changing the basic AI script used by others and working on the unit production priorities.
