Aye caramba!

You might also want to consider thinning out your bank there mate, anything over 50k at the end of a turn and you get a certain chance for the money corruption traits in your generals. 100k and 150k double and triple the chance respectively.

How people are able to not spend their money on new stacks for conquering is beyond me...

Aye, I manage to always spend most all of my cash each turn on city improvements, much less stacks/anything else. Plus the catholics have an easy cash dump that pays for itself... The Pope-o-matic.

Money isn't that surprising if you consider that he's at turn 180. College of cardinals is even less surprising. What truly is surprising is:

Why in the world would anyone have SW Africa and not have Timbuktu?

Because this is my first campaign ever and I didn't know this part of the map was accessible.

I have had all 13 cardinals on a number of occasions. If you wage wars on the non-catholic factions and send in the god squad in after to convert you get cardinals out the wazoo.

It also helps to kill off the other catholic factions.

I still have a savegame where I was Milan, had conquered every single region (save Rome) of the known world minus america (was too quick with ~160 turns) and a full college of cardinals :)

I had something very similar in one game and for the last 150 turns I elected my Pope. The crazy thing is you still have to play up to Rome or your standing can drop pretty fast from perfect. There is no allegiance once they get the top spot.
