I dont't know if this has been asked already but does anyone know if there will be a feature that allows the pope to excummunicate someone or declare an interdict?

if Paradox does have it in the game i would like to see how they would work in an interdict being issued
I pray the only similiarity between CK and M:TW's strategic aspects is the timeframe and location, personally.Originally posted by Jaron
well hopefully it wont get out of hand. Its a bit funny in M: TW when the French decide to pause in the war with England so they can declare a war against the Spanish.![]()
I seem to remember vaguely that there was one declared against France under Philip II Augustus at some point, either due to the fact that he tarried too long with joining a crusade, or returned from it too soon. But it was pretty short (few months IIRC).Originally posted by BarristerBoy
Was the interdiction of an entire realm actually ordered during this time period?
AFAIK was against John by Innocent III. John was already in trouble because he kidnapped and married the future wife of Arthur of Brittany (a vassal) in 1200, and, since he never showed up to face the French kings justice, lost Normandy. He then made the pope angry by manipulating the election of the archbishop of Canterbury, and then refusing the Pope's candidate. The end result was the John lost all his Normandy lands by 1204 and was placed under interdict between 1208-1214. He also faced a Welsh rebellion 1211 and a possible baronial rebellionOriginally posted by BarristerBoy

Um, actually i think its a good thing to have, but not as a pick-and-choose type thing based on your power. It should be completely out of your control and any excommunication should be based on peity and the political power of the person's indirect influence in the chruch, though no amount of influence should stop excommunication on some things.Originally posted by P.Q.

I would hope that, since the player has some influence on who receives high church offices, that the occassional excommunication is possible in the game.
