Papacy Pacification

Now that IS interesting! Crusades permitted whilst excommunicated is strange enough but while at war with the Pope too? Bang goes that theory, then.

I wonder what causes him to block this action now. In my game, it's not as if he's allied to the faction(s) I make attempts to target.

Wierd.

Is that inquisitor trying to burn one of his own faction's generals?

Oops, my mistake, I launched the crusade after he decalred the Eggies an enemy and was excommed after. I've continiously been retiring the Pope vindictively every few years now. Excomms hardly affect me anymore. Yea though, we are still enemies but he allows me to crusade now which is nice. I've actually finished the game already, shortly after my last update I caused a civil war and burnt the last spanish king sending all of Iberia into chaos. I bribed Portugal and then I won with a minor victory. I think since it is a GA game I will go back again and win the long way. I want to do some damage to Egypt first and the Turks too. I suppose I will take the coast from Asia minor down to Egypt and take all of Iberia and Morocco.

Yep. This guy never once touched one of my guys though he could've done a great amount of damage if he did. He even passed from my port in venice to Rome and few times only hitting the Popes men and the Spaniards. I would offer him his own district he obviously has great respect for the emperor

Nice campaign, and pretty quickon expansion, too. Personally, I´m still more or less stuck on the spot after a hundred years in my HRE/High game. Well, now the rebellion within my borders is stamped to the ground and a lot of rebel provinces are all around it´s time for a little expansion.

Domingo de Guzman, now that´s a troublesome fellow: I´ve got the same one trying my generals. By the way, I´ve got the feeling the death of a common general doesn´t matter the least, for his sucessor is a precise copy of him

The best way for dealing with Pope if you are Romancatholic faction is to burn him as I do always with grand inquisitor.

You can get a truce with him the same way as any other faction. Defeat his army and make him withdraw to his castle. Withdraw your troops and send an emissary to offer peace/alliance. It works: present campaign I trounced his largely garbage army and he withdrew to his castle; I withdrew and was already at peace with him when I dropped my emissary on him_came up as "offer alliance". The Papal keep is garrisoned with 37 men good and true.

Yes, of course, but that won´t get you recommunicated. Because that´s the Pope as the Head of Vatican acting, not the pope as, well, Pope. The same way, you can be excommunicated and still remain the Pope´s ally.
