Excommunication

[Bittenfeld]

I was looking for some help with modding AI papal controllers so they don't excommunicate a ruler based on something as simple as the controller having a claim on one of the ruler's titles.

I'm playing a Sicily game and the Duke of Messina (who is a Loyalist, had high relations with me and was even a Friend) excommunicated me because he had a claim on Siracusa (which I had taken back from the Kingdom of Zirid, who had conquered it from him).

I was hoping that someone could help me mod the game so the controller has to have bad relations with the potential excommunication target and/or be a rival of that person in addition to having claims.

Thanks in advance.

Can't be done, it is hardcoded and thus not influencable by the event engine.

All right, thanks anyway, jor.

I did write an event a while back that causes the PC to revoke the excommunication of a friend: http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=364576

It works after the fact, but it may help a bit.
