Now if that person stays the pope it gets boring. I'm always looking for ways to inject some drama and intrigue into the game. So I suggest that the Pope can suffer a Piety loss If he dies. Everyone else suffers some skill point loss during death so why not the Pope?

You realize this is a medieval themed game? It's just fitting to have religious themes in there like for crusaders, Muslims, or even Vikings for that matter...

You should also be careful and try not to offend any Christians on the forums. Adhere to the forum rules please.

Only thing crazier than a religious nutjob,
is one who tries to argue against one.
Siegbert wrote:I'm not so sure about a pope being declared by ingame mechanics. If a church system organically evolves that's different... As you said: different guild may want to have different religious structures.A pagan priest wouldn't want to be declared the Christian pope by the game, and sure guilds portraying moslems wouldn't want it either...I don't know where the devs want to go with this...

I am not here to offend anyone. EVERYTHING is offensive to someone. Truth Hurts?
You could even say the thread is offensive to me couldn't you?
I never said I was against ALL the ideas stated in this thread. Start at my first post in this thread and work your way down, or don't.
Forums must not be based in USA I guess. No freedom of speech here? LOL
Sorry I am feeling in a frisky mood today. To much Joe today(http://qz.com/88453/why-coffee-is-called-joe/)

I wonder how long before someone swallows the bait. I'm sure tempted myself.
