Why does Italy have to be anti-pope? It'll still be a theocracy, with the Pope at its head. He's just declaring the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, in the form of the reborn Roman Empire. :cool:

Vote for Italy!

I go away for twelve hours and come back to this!?!?!?!


@spl: That was for the initial voting for the country I chose to do the AAR.

But as everyone can see from my sig, the Papal State won and therefore, Italia will never be formed in this AAR!!!


:D

Italy... is not the same as papacy or Rome.
It is something different.... :)
 
Well, nevermind, Italy or the Papal State, it will still be a great AAR!

They will still be the pope, but a tiny theocracy will become the anti-pope!!!

And I just saw that in your first post..it still pissed capibara off sufficiently :)

Later today I will post all the votes so there is no doubt everything was done in a democratic manner... :D

Along with an update!

Italy made from Piedmont-Savoy, yes. But not from the Papal States... Heck, one of my friends had Haiti rebel into the Anti-Pope of the Voodoo Papal States, so its impossible to take anything at face value in IN.

France cannot convert because the Edict de Nantes decision forbids converting your religion and it cannot be repealed until your state religion is Reformed or Protestant (due to rebellions, I suppose), Ile de France is under rebel control, or you've converted all but one away from Reformed/Protestant.

EDIT: And I say form Italy, you've already cleared all the Papal States specific missions.

Votes for the Papal State

No, please don't start making missions of your own. Fulfilling every ingame mission and only those is part of what makes this AAR so special. There's no reason to give up on a concept that works very well as it is.

Do you want some tiny German state to become the anti-pope? That will happen since their government will become a papacy too! :mad:

I vote Papal States. They just have this special flavour.

In the case of max centralization, then remain the Papal States. The centralization is the only real bonus you'd receive, and other than that it's pure aesthetics.

Italy?
Bah!
Never existed historically.

But the Papacy... a long tradition, not to be broken.

Papal State!

The Papal State (Forever!) : A Mission AAR
Part XI

Our (not so) exciting mission this time is:

lom1.jpg

As we don't have enough money after the last manufactury built in Rome, we have to wait.

Meanwhile, Firenze becomes core, which means we can now become Italy!!!

lom2.jpg

But we won't!!!

lom3.jpg

LONG LIVE THE POPE, LONG LIVE THE PAPAL STATE!!!

Since the occitain now provide less than 12% (or is it 15%) of the national taxes, we no longer like them!

lom4.jpg

We now have enough money to start the Manufactury!!

lom5.jpg

While we wait, nothing happens. :(

Yay!!!

lom6.jpg

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :mad:

lom7.jpg

I decide to place this mission in this update because it's so similar to the first one.

lom8.jpg

After 60 months:

lom9.jpg

And for our next mission:

lom99.jpg







This is another easy one if you pay close attention to details!

;)

It would seem the spl mission guessing team is stumped.
