Elect a single pope you Catholics, instead of having one for each clan! It'd be funny to see, a pope telling everybody todo stuff. Just throwing the idea out there, its probably been thought of a million times already.if only the pope can call crusades in strategus
Discuss, debate, troll below.
wouldnt that make Ecko or Ujin the pope? which one of them is most responsible for the crusade agaisnt afgoonistan?Antipopes, the both of them. That's why they failed.

I've already declared myself Double-Pope, in an effort to head off an attempt by any other factions to elect their own pontiff. Any Crusader clans that do not acknowledge my ecclesiastical authority are subject to Double-Excommunication, which is twice as bad as regular excommunication.
Also, Double-Pope's get twice the prize money when they get chosen.
I nominate Templar_Casimir for the Pope, his stoic character should be an example for us all.
God wills it!
Lol, Templars taking about burning people at the stake.
The Goonlami Republic of Afgoonistan must elect an Ayatollah, not a Pope :rolleyes:The trick is getting everyone to acknowledge me as Pope, then converting to Islam.
I hereby,announce a deep cRPG secret....(click to show/hide)
Want to be a Pope?
Gather Papal Guards and Cardinals first.
I could be The Pope.
wait aren't fallen meant to be evil heretics...We were under the impression that Christianity was similar. Don't y'all drink the blood and eat the flesh of some guy like once a week or something?
So... who is going to lead the jihad then?U kidding me ?
Deus vult!
U kidding me ?آل المنتصرةالله هو دائما أحد منتصرااَ تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا وَلاَ تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّ
This is an interesting concept, and under certain condition I am willing to support it.
We need clear rules. Without them, the concept will not work.
For example:
a) Christian faction holding the land has the right to bet one cardinal. (loss of land = loss of cardinal)
b) Cardinal can not be a leader, diplomat, or perform any significant function.
c) It should be a person generally popular with impeccable morals.
c) The first conclave should be effected in 30 days after the start of a new Strat.
d) Conclave (all cardinals) elect the Pope (one of them).
e) The function is lifetime. Resignation (RL?) / removal (revolt?) means the next conclave.
f) The Pope has the right to their own army and the land and to collect taxes.
g) The Cardinals implement the pope policy. The Pope can appeal and invoke the Cardinals without any consultation.
It may be in an interesting way to complicate the game and create a new force. The concept would have to improve, refine, it is only makeshift, but maybe worth trying establish something like this to life.
PS We are ready to support the candidacy of Brede, only if he speaks Polish :wink: Nieźle się ustawiłeś :wink:
If you find someone who will take seriously this idea, I'll help. I will try to convince the leaders of several major clans to participate. I will help invent the rules. If we agree to transfer a certain number of tickets and gold for the Papal States (for example 1k tikets and 100k gold) in return for having one of the cardinal in the conclave, then you really introduce significant change to the gameplay.Fuck it, I'm supporting this! Make each fief = one cardinal and one cardinal = 1 vote for pope. Any faction must choose their religion (only chadzian factions gets cardinals ofc) so as not to FORCE people to recognize the Pope. The Pope can call crusades on any of the non-chadzian religions whenever he wants, but he needs an RP reason to call a crusade against a chadzian faction. Maybe if they attack another chadzian faction or something.
This time, I unfortunately do not have time for trollololo :(

Rebelyell ... repeating the same stupidity over and over again is boring. You're a heretic, so you better watch out for words because you will burn at the stake :twisted:
Bring an interesting element to the idea, in such a way that it was acceptable by the whole community, or just shut up.
Dont get it; are greys religious now? Or have they always been?Uhmmm. Grey Order? Monks who fight to cleans their souls?
If not, why does this guy bother so much about our popes?
The popes main aim was to act as a figure head, to unite cardinals from different factions and to arrange events for RP etc.
Indeed that was the intent of the papal guard, they obviously fight for their faction, but their loyalty is to the pope, maybe some form of vows etc.With the Papal Guard, maybe make it so they can't fight against people who the Pope don't want them to (obviously have to be told in advance), and if they merc too many times they are removed from the Papal Guard and their faction recieves -1 in Papal Relations?
Should really try and gauge the number of factions that would be interested in joining the calradian church
Someone should make a clan serving real Christianity and Catholicism and then vote for a Pope.
Not chadzianity (Wtf). Gogo realism?
Bringing real religion into video games is about 100% a terrible idea. Maybe 110%.
No, real religion leads to too much hostility, i myself am not religious and wouldn't be involved in some kind of Christian movement, this is calradia, not the real world.
Implementation of true religion in our game is definitely ruled out. I do not want to risk a row and offend someone's religious feelings. You can be inspired by the true religions, but all names must be fictitious. Geographically Calradia does not resemble any real continent, and that's good. Culturally, it only resembles the real world, mixing historical with the fiction concepts (Sarranid, Khergit vs. Milanese, Byzantion Helmet). That should be with the religion, because we do not want stupid misunderstandings. In my view, this is the end of the topic. You have to keep the convention.
Write your suggestions for your faction, and we'll see where this leads and what it implies.
For example: Swadian's confesion of West Calradian Church, with the episcopate in Praven, subordinate directly under the Pope, the head of the First Calradian Church - for Grey Order.
(This is just an example, then we will match the overall concept. Later I'll ask someone who knows English very well, so write this nicely.)
Atleast the bolded part sounds better than Armagan and chadz lol.
Funny because its been around longer than you have.

I don't think there actually are more than a few percent of religious people on these boards.
