Dealing with Inquisitors

[LordKhaine]

Inquisitors don't bother me that much, but there is no way that they should be able to kill your units when you're excommunicated :(

Seconded. Really annoying. And somewhat related but can't excommunicated factions still get cardinals? I'm sure I saw Hungary get a Pope elected despite them being excommunicated before the elections!

Though coming back to the problem at hand, I might add that the best way to avoid inquisitors is to avoid having high levels of heresy in your own lands. And for safety make sure your neighbours don't either! Otherwise inquisitors from their lands may end up wandering into your lands also.

Only your leader is excommunicated - and any who follow him go to hell. When Frederick 11 was excommunicated (three times, wihtout ever getting back in - now that takes talent!) he hired muslim mercs to fight for him as they didn't care. Which upset the pope even more. So he excommunicated him again...so Frederick..you get teh general idea.

You still rule your country but the people (who are good catholics) hate you (+20% unrest). Your Bishops still exist they just preach against you in church - urging the people to overthrow you etc... You can stil have cardinals who elect the pope, they just hate you. There were still priests in England after Henry v111 seceded. They preached against his heresy and the "traitors" in teh Anglican church.

I just imagine the Monarch would be able to stop inquisitors openly going around his own lands killing his generals.
