    Anyone know why you cannot Crusade as the Pope in XL? I tried a His Highness campaign yesterday for the first time, and His GA goals are to crusade, but I couldn't build a Chapter House anywhere. And yeah, I had all of the prerequisite buildings. It was shaping up to be fun, but alas I couldn't fulfill my goals so I stopped.

    Also, does anyone get excommed when you play as the Pope? I was never at war with Catholic countries, so I didn't find out.

Then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns and also he got a racecar. Is any of this getting through to you?"

    You can't crusade as the papacy because VikingHorde forgot to include the Chapter House as buildable by the pappacy. I've even tried to add it but somehow it didn't work (may be may fault).

    Yes, other catholic factions become excommucated when at war with you. You don't have any power over excommunications, other factions crusades, money gifts, ...

    The worst part, however, about playing the papacy is that you can't train good generals. Every decent general you get, train, bribe, ... will eventually become pope and die some time later. Once I even bribed two almo ex-princes. One was 5 starts, the other 4. I lost them both in no less then 30 years.
