Here's a funny thing. I've just finished a game (the glory of the Hungarian Empire unmatched in 1453 an' all that) but in the latter stages my 6* Grand Inquisitors have had 0% chance of burning, erm, I mean absolving from sin, the King of Castile-Leon (I'm playing XL mod).

For half the game I've had a squad of three 6* GIs doing a good job of keeping people in order but in the last years the re-emergent Castile-Leonese seem to have been immune, even when excommunicated! Their king has been down at 0 piety, Athiest V&V and excommed - and still 0% chance of conviction

Anyone seen this? Is this a feature of Late? An XL oddity?

I know revved-up squads of GIs is a little cheesy as a backdoor way of taking factions out, but hey! Actually in XL, as well as its superior military strategy, the AI seems to play a better agent game than vanilla VI - I even saw the excommed C-L assassinate the Pope, which I'd never seen the comp do before!

Curiously,
