Just coming back from playing Medieval Total war. I have used a hack to unlock some formerly unp,ayable parties, and now I am playing the Pope (Vatican). The major bonus is: You are free to go after any neighbour, be them christian, muslim, whatever. Nobody will threaten you about excommunicating you for actions against fellow christians. Because I am the fucking Pope, I make my own rules. Taking a lesson from Medieval history. Just as long as these guys do not include the possibility of having a second pope that resides in Avignon!
