The Pope and his rewards

[Archayon]

i didn't read anything about the HRE here...

When i first played this game (i mean: in easy), i usually got money with the HRE, and very early on too (like in year 2 or 3 or something) --> i couldn't have done much by that time to please the pope, i think.

(i play vanilla MTW:VI)

I´ve noticed I got his little rewards (by the time I received them they were little, considering my half-a-million+ treasury) pretty frequently when I fought against excommed factions, even more so than when I fought Muslims or other infidels. Building churches, or religious buildings in general, also seems to help, but the exact trigger for the gifts are a mystery - as is most of what the Pope does. He´s just plain weird most of his time.

Yes, he is pretty weird! Personally, however, I think your description of him as "schizophrenic" in the other thread was more accurate. Hearing voices and seeing things would go a long way towards explaining his behavior....
