So, just a quick question. How do taxes work with the pope being your vassal? Do they still go to the pope or to you? I am just kind of confused. Thanks.
This is an amazing post. Well done Sir.Son, let me tell you how the world works.
There is this golden-egg goose, called the Pope, that lives in a castle in the clouds, called the Papacy. Faithful christians pray under a huge beanstalk that leads up to the floating castle, and if the Pope deems them worthy, he drops a golden egg down from the clouds. And then the faithful christians collect the eggs and thank the Lord and the goose.
But sometimes this evil person, known as The Salian, comes up to the beanstalk with this giant axe, chops it down, smashing the cloud castle on the ground. Then he takes the goose and keeps it to himself for eternity.
Thanks. Do I get the taxes directly or do the go to the pope and then to me?

Aww, guys! I am deeply honored by your flattering comments. :wub:PortalCakeFace said:10/10 would read again
Is there actually an explanation on how to get the Pope as a vassal?
When I did an invasion on HRE in my Mongol game my reformed Tengri Khagan somehow ended up with the Pope as a Vassal (even though he'd lost all his lands). I didn't even notice that until years later when I was checking the factions opposing me >_> I just thought that was a glitch or a bug...
I'm assuming the CB you used was to invade Italy. When you invade an area as an Empire, any King with all their remaining holdings in the de jure area of the invaded Kingdom become vassalized and retain their King title as long as the title is not the same as the title being invaded.
If you're Christian, vassalizing the Pope is simple once you're an Empire: Make an antipope and press his claim to the papacy. Instant vassal pope.
