Is the Papacy allied to the Polish?
If so that could be why.

The pope will always side with the weaker catholic faction, meaning the smaller one.
So it means that even if you take a province back that was conquered by another catholic faction who just happens to be smaller than you, the pope will side for him. Even defensive wars aren't allowed.

That must be why factions around me keep getting me excommunicated.Originally Posted by Dutch_guy
One way you could get away being excommunicated is to ally with the pope early on.
It's been my experience that being allied to the Pope will not stop him from messing with my plans for world domination. I believe it solely has to do with the Pope backing the underdog or the smaller of the 2 countries. I also believe smaller meaning the actual number of Provinces not how "small" the country looks on the map.
Every weapon has evolved from the same basic design, either a rock or a sharp pointy stick.
You'll get the warning if you do any offensive actions (sallying out from a besieged castle counts as an offensive action) if the catholic faction less than 50% (I think it was that size) of your size. On the positive side, the pope can only give out one warning at the time, so you'll get a carte blanche against any other catholic faction.
This will happen, no matter the stance with the pope.
We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

? I made the opposite experience: A warning from the pope seems to count for all factions possibly at war with you. To clarify this: I regularly get excommed as the HRE when dealing with my numerous warlike & well-armed neighbours (Medieval ModOriginally Posted by Ironside
) one after the other. say I take on the Polish and cripple them sufficiently within the 2-year-term, so no further offensive action against them is taken (bo castles besieged etc). the next turn, the hungarians invade and I consecutively force them out....BANG I get excommed without having being warned. not that it's really that problematic in early (as ling as no other Catholics are able to launch a crusade) but it's annoying nevertheless. or did I do/realize something wrongly?

. Either the mod changed something (unlikely) or then you missed something. Any offensive naval battles?
Only thing that'll get you excommed for pure defending is refusing for letting crusades pass. That'll give instant excommunication.
It might be that you do the offensive action against the Hungerians before the acual warning has started for the Poles. But I don't think it should matter, it's simply that I don't remember if I tried that.

You can still be excommunicated even if you are ally with Pope. That's not important.Originally Posted by UltraWar

Too true, LadyAnn. Any annoying edicts dictated by the Pope can be solved by the proper application of troops and/or assassins. He can't excomm you twice.
I personally prefer the Troop method, along with pillaging and burning, and finished by evacuation.

One thing is important to keep in mind: There is the Pope as in "the pope" and there is the Papacy faction of which the pope is the leader. Most of the time, but not always, they´re the same, but not when it comes to excommunication. For instance, alliance with the Papacy will not protect you from being excommunicated, but being at war with the Papacy doesnt always result in excommunication. It´s a bit schizophrenic, really.
