Just noticed how great the new AoW papacy minigame is! It's not difficult for a major power to receive nearly 10 papal influence annually. This means you can buy 1 mercantilism every 10 years using Sanction Commercial Monopoly. This will give +40 additional mercantilism in the end, using this mechanism alone. That means +80% boost in provincial trade power and helps a lot getting the "A Protected Market" achievement. Finally we have a tool to influence mercantilism directly!
There seems to be a minor bug, though. After converting religion in a province, the dialog box still implies getting +5 papal influence. This doesn't seem to happen. Might be OP if it would....
