The Pope has got to go.....too much of a problem having him in a mod!

There also comes a whole bunch of issues around the way a Pope impacts on a game that just don't fit. I don't want a Pope giving out missions, calling crusades or excommunicating factions. Just won't fit.

The religious aspects of the game such as Heretics, can be used to give the feel we need, but we will have to be very careful how we put this forward. I would rather have a complete set of mutually hostile factions with no religous ties than have something that imposes limitations purely by triggering unwanted game reactions.

We must, at all times, remember the Game Engine. We want to put the recreate teh Warhammer world in MTW2, but by doing so, we must abide by the restrictions of the game engine.

More important than religion will be setting some parameters to the way races react and ally with each other. The rest is just fluff.
