Questions for people with game

Ah...thank you very much

[Bob the Insane]

Continuing the theme, I wonder if Crusading armies get a free pass for Catholic lands? I mean if you took a normal army and went stomping about nothing short of another army could actually stop you, but you would be annoying a lot of people...

In MTW you used to have the whole "the HRE welcome you crusading army and allow to pass freely" thing... And you had to give premission to other crusading armies too if they entered your lands (or fight them)...

I wonder if this is automated now...

Question: is excommunication a factor in M2TW? (as opposed to a minor annoyance)

Not got excommunicated myself so don't know. However potentially, if you get excommunicated, then your regions are then potential targets for crusades. You can do the same to other factions as well. I was particularly evil when one of my allies was excommunicated. I used the opportunity to try and call a crusade down on them so I could see if another faction would weaken some of its own armies. I would then move in and grab a region or two off the crusading faction.

Didn't work though, pope didn't particularly like me at the time and ignored my request

What I want to know is has someone tried to conquer the Pope's Lands.I just want to know what happens other than geting excommunicated.I mean,does it set up a puppet Pope,or get rid of the Pope,or anything else like that.

[Rpkmann]

From what i've heard if you conquer rome the pope asks another catholic faction for a province, then the papacy will set up there...I don't know if it is really possible to destroy the papacy. But then again, what happens if you have every province but rome and then take rome?

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

You can't destroy the papacy. They use the horde mechanic from BI if you take all of their provinces.
