The Pope must die

I found keeping the Pope down as the Italians pretty easy.

I am going to do something mad. I am going to go after the Pope as the Germans.

Only rule is never make peace with the Pope. I am going to rush Italy, and go straight for the pope.

I suspect that the Germans might be gangbanged on all sides, hopefully it will be interesting.

"Interesting" isn't the word I would use -- "excruciatingly painful" is the term that comes to my mind!

We could have a competition called "Rush the Pope". Each one of us has a different faction and see who gets him first. Bonus points for keeping him out of the game...Extra points for a successful assassination...minor points for getting the Pope s minions.

What s "ünfreeze"?

I'm sorry dude, I thought everybody knew...

When you type .unfreeze. (including the dots) when you are in the strategic map at the next turn (year) a male child will be born (rejoice!

) You will know when you've done it right when you hear a sound effect (after typing .unfreeze.). Look at Frogbeasteggs beginners guide (somewhere near the bottom) for all the other cheatcodes

Can't you engineer a civil war if you're worried about an aging king with no heirs? Pick a good general / regional governor, give him a huge army to command, strip him of all titles and wait, then side with him when all hell breaks loose?

You can also try him for treason to further lower his loyalty, although of course you then run the risk of actually convicting & executing him. (It's obviously best to use v0 spy when using this tactic.)

Alternatively, you could also engineer a civil war if you have 2 or more generals of royal blood. If you do, just place both generals in command of a large army and then wait for your faction leader to die. (In addition, it's also a good idea to make sure you've married off a princess to at least one of the claimants if you can; that way he can start producing heirs right away.)

Oooo, do you need to have 2+ generals of royal blood? I was under the impression that you could use any general for this (obviously, a good one) and effectively disown your own royal house by backing the rebels once civil war broke out (but only from reading some mention of this in the manual, not from personal experience).
