Ex-Communication: Can anyone explain how it works?

[TevashSzat]

Just remember if you get a warning, you can still attack enemies that is in your territory without reprecussions

@Xdeathfire: Are you sure?

I thought a Yellow Card meant no more attacks against that faction anywhere.

[TevashSzat]

Nope, if they are on your territory, they are the aggressor and you have total rights to defend your territory. You might still get the warning about getting excommed when doing so, but the pope never excomms and you never take a relations hit if you do so.

Well thats good to know, I often get other factions camping armies in my territory. Hungary are doing right at this minute around Zagreb. There was one game (Civ I think) where you could send a diplomat to tell them to 'piss-off' but that doesn't seem to be an option in MTW2.

Beware... It only works if you are already in a state of war with that faction...If you attack a faction on your home ground that is neutral or allied, you take the risk of getting excomm...so wait for them to attack you (it won't be long...) and sent them back with the Pope's benediction...

MTW2 surely lacks a "Get off" diplomacy option to get rid of trespassers...

Gentlemen:

Good morning from Canada!!!! I hope this finds you and yours well. As for me, I could complain...yadda, yadda, yadda.

I remember the Pope pulling that gag on me, ordering me to stop fighting with Milan for he didn't like the shedding of good Christian blood. I sent my diplomat into Genoa, asked for a ceasefire, and got turned down flatter than a pancake.

Would His Hatness like to figure out a solution for this?

Live long and prosper, take care and thank you kindly!!!

Sincerely yours always,

Indy.
