EU4 1.35 The Papal State Guide - EXCOMMUNICATING Is Still OP

when i got the achievement 1% of players had it rofl.

Isn't it easy to get rid of excommunication by buying indulgence? If you excommunicate Provence at game start, they'll do that immediately, which buys them 5 years before another excommunication. Besides Provence, there aren't many that can be targeted since most countries buys indulgence...

doesn’t work. naples tries to be my best friend every single game and i get the naples pays me 100$ event every game

When you declare under the subjugation CB you can't take land without suffering 96 aggressive expansion :(

I'm just starting playing EU4 and this guide is actually anti-helpful because what you're showing in this video is flat out different from how it works in my game. I have completely different missions for my Papal States that don't match up with yours at all. No mention of the Swiss Guard, for example.

When the Renaissance spawns you should appoint a cardinal in the country that spawns it, that way the cardinals start spreading institutions immediately

How often did you have to save scum?

Oh wow! You are playing the boss of the pedophiles

Amazing guide like always. Can you now annex a country if you have their cores ? I remember a while ago you couldn’t

any ideas how to stop rebels?

Every fucking time i finish with naples, Aragon PUs them in a war before the 1460s. Yet you mention none of this. Ive spent fucking 10+ hours on restarts and every time this happens. Im running a vanilla game but you dont seem to have that problem?

I think they get those strong Allie’s to try and keep Florence in check maybe?

I like the idea of keeping your borders inside Italy and then expanding out with vassals. Using vassales to funnel trade into your trade nodes. Turning them all into powerful Marches.

Hey Hawk! I'm trying to follow this guide, but I haven't gotten the Alphonse event as early. Naples seems to want me to like it, and so keeps improving relations -- by the time it finally fires in a few years, my opinion of Naples is too high to excommunicate! Any advice to make Naples not so friendly? I've set my attitude to hostile and marked all their land as vital interest already...

Allways wonder why The Papel state have religions unity and not missionary strength

Do you have any mods?

Actually, excommunication cb works on all your claims also

speaking about italy , in italian CH sound is to be read like a K . so Marche sounds like Marke .
