the pope inherits

[Enravota]

ok, in 1,03b i played the duke of mazovia and the firstborn son of the polish king got elected as a pope. later the polish king died ad the pope iherits the polish crown, and actually he bacame king of poland and papal states. the were messages of sombody becoming a papal controler, but they got no cros next to their portraits and i think they cannot order the pope to excomunicate (i'm not sure). also the papal title transfered as a normal king's titlte inherited by the polish rolyal dynasty. I think this is a bug.

p.s. sorry for my english

Title "king of Papal State" has special qualities only when it's primary title, just like Byzantium.

If there is any bug here, it's the yet-to-be-fixed problem with heirs of kings being elected Pope and then being able to inherit their father's kingdom. Make bishops, archbishops and popes unable to inherit secular realms, I'd say.

I recently bought the game and I have this problem where the pope became king of scotland. Has this bug been fixed?

I have the patch, but I run the game from CD. Should I run the game from the harddrive?

Doesn't matter, as long as you have the game installed with the latest patch.

In 1.04a, the Duke of Milan conquered Rome (it's OK; the Pope started it). However, there is now no Pope. The crusades were called by nobody, and any attempt to excommunicate (which the duke can do if he personally holds Rome; but not if he gives it to a vassal) results in a CTD.

Interestingly enough; making a bishopric of Rome does not recreate the papacy; though the new bishop of Rome does have claims against other bishops and archbishops that the Duke didn't...but he isn't the Pope, and the Duke of Milan is still the crossless papal controller.

As a humble suggestion, make the Papacy something that every landed bishop and archbishop has a claim to; so if Rome falls, then someone else will inherit it.
