Just a quick question really, not gamebreaking at all, but odd.

During one of my Komnenos Prince of Paphalagonia campaigns (i have started several, but the damn seljuks keep killing everything between georgia and the ionian coast :() i recieved the message announcing a crusade to liberate jerusalem, all fine and good, exepting i'm Orthodox.

Now i'm a little rusty on my medieval christianity but i was under the impression that the great schiscm had already occurred, so why whould the pope be calling a Greek Orthodox prince to war??

As i said, not really a problem at all, just thought it was odd.

I am running Deus Vult with the latest patch and DVIP with DVIP addon.

Cheers
 
When playing Orthodox you see the crusade messages, but crusades don't affect you. Meaning you don't lose piety from crusade expectations, or gain it from from taking infidel lands, you just see the messages.

You can still get excommunicated as an Orthodox, though, which is a tad irksome.

Though only by events. Problem is that there's no mechanism for lifting excommunication for Orthodox characters, so you're going to be pretty much stuck with it if that happens.

Well they could, but the problem is that they get the negative effects like vassal trouble, which should really only apply to the Catholic vassals if any rather than the Orthodox ones.

Excommunication wasn't unkown in Orthodox circles. Orthodox Patriarch could degree excommunication the way Pope could, so if you get excommunicated as Orthodox it's not Pope, but Patriarch in Constantinople that excommunicated you.
 
The equivalent of a Catholic Excommunication would be a Patriarch declaring someone "to be anathema".

However, on the few occasions that it occured, the Emperor generally replaced the Patriarch.
