I been playing the Papal States for a little while now with the LtC mod. The Swiss Guards and Papal Guard units are pretty darn good troops. They hold their own against better stat units. Its an interesting twist to game play. The short campaign requires you get 80 territories though so its a kinda long game. Fun to use the Inquistitors too.

you dont need a mod download to play them all you have to do when you get to the list of playable and nonplayable yu simply back space out the papal states from the non playable list and retype it in on the top list with england, france and so forth.

just make sure you type it in exactly like it was before.

I have a killer Pope too.
I have sacked and occupied all of the Papal states and killed the Pope.

A new Pope appeared on some Papal ships.After sailing around for a few turns he has landed and has laid seige to one of my citadels on his own!

I have read else where that you cannot eliminate the pope, but this is getting silly.

I remember reading somewhere in an old thread I started that it's THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE. It was claimed that to prevent the emergence of a pope, it would be necessary to kill off EVERY SINGLE CATHOLIC PRIEST on the map. That way there'd be no College of Cardinals, no Preferati and hence no Pope. While this means the Papal seat will be vacant, the Papal States faction can still never be truly destroyed even if you wipe them off the map. The moment you build a priest he'll become the Pope, and appear as a one unit stack somewhere in Italy.

He seems to have his own teleporter as well!

Strangely enough he failed to capture my citadel in Sicilly, the next turn he appeared as if by magic next to Rome. I have killed off his fleet. I just hope he hasnt got enough money to form a decent merc army, nor call a crusade against me. Perhaps I should gift him a region somewhere remote.

I have already tried that before the text keeps telling me that it was denied and undos it

i forget his name, but i remember a story about someone telling a warmongering pope something like "surely saint peter will not allow you to enter heaven for such and such" the pope replied that he would gather an army and batter down the gates of heaven

at least thats what i remember reading
