Re: Conquest of the Papacy
The whole papal elections system sounds like a nice new feature but I hope it will have an actual impact on the game. In the original MTW the two-warnings-at-a-time bug basically made the threat of excommunication nonexistant, and also after your empire got large enough you could afford to simply ignore the pope as getting excommunicated made no differrence at this point.
I hope the factoins can re-emerge again but if that is the case I also hope the re-emergence system is handled differrently than in the original MTW, where Egypt could re-emerge in Norway and where the re-emerging faction would have more and better troops than anyone else at this point.
Re: Conquest of the Papacy
The only time I ever saw Janissary Heavies in campaign was when the Turks respawned into Syria with a bunch... That was something like two decades into the High period, too.
Anyway, being able to largely ignore excommunication if you're large and strong enough is pretty realistic. For many monarchs it was mostly a political and internal problem (and not always too great one either), and as stated before quite a few cheerfully warred against the Pope, practically kept him hostage, and generally failed to treat him with the respect and reverence due to the head of the Church. I don't think they drew all that much flak for that either back home, not counting opportunists of course.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."
