Considering the pope's influence which has always been widespread, it is very effective for him to declare things to the world in the interests of Christianity, and to single out leaders and suggest to them points of action, in the interests of welfare and soforth.
I was wondering if we could enhance the pope's and the Emperors' influence by creating an agent type unit, that is based off of a Title. We could call them Papal decrees and Royal decrees. These Agents would be the same as buildable title's that added to people's character traits, acumen, piety, and dread, depending on the different type of papal decrees we can come up with. They would be dropped on people just as the pope or emperor, might single out someone to inspire in a holy or patronistic obligation. These obligations would then directly effect the people of the lands that the person is governor of, or directly effect his valor and morale in battle.
of course there would be a few problems to solve:
1)it would be ideal if the pope could use these documents with generals from different countries.
2)it would be necessary to have these documents added along side someone's governorship, so that we could add agricultural benefits, as well as make it possible to give them to royalty.
3)it would also be necessary to find a link between traits and tittles, that we could not only raise someone's dread, acumen, and piety, but also someone's vices and virtues: such as steward, builder, and charasmatic.
4)Perhaps it would be good to create more vices and virtues that are aplicable to these titles, would this be possible?
5)Finally we'd have to find a link between the agent as a unit, and find a link for the tittle as a type of agent. I wonder if they are similar enough to create this new entity.
and if this were possible why not reverse the process to create more province-based agents.
I suppose another way to do this is to create a ton of different office buildings, and then just assign these people with offices, but i thought the idea of a papal decree would be more useful. Also they could be subject to assassinations, if someone wanted to cut off the pope's or emperor's influence over other nations.
