It is with grave concern at the rise of Protestantism in the boundaries of the Holy Roman Empire that we must propose the declaration of the Catholic League to resist these reformists, heathens and usurpers through military might.

Hold Up

Of course we have converted there is only one true faith.

As Naples is currently bordered only by fellow Catholics, Alfonso Turns his attention northward, to the decadent republic of Venice. His troops board their ships and set sail.

Bohemia shall vote in favour of Naples.
Catholic Netherlands

Seeing as the wise king of Bohemia supports a Neapolitan Pope, we would be fools not to do the same.
gotcha
Republique Francaise > Expand to the Northeast
I hold no opinion on the Papal election, for I know not the character of any running. I pray that changes
I mean whoever is to my left, the brown one. Wurttemburg?

Danmark > Mecklenburg
>King Ash of Danmark
>Good King Ferdinand, I thank you wholeheartedly for your endorsement in the upcoming papal election. I assure you that, should God choose us, we shall repay this favor in kind.

Rolled 57161 (1d99999)
Annex Brandenburg, spills to Pomerania

You've attacked a fellow catholic
The Holy Roman Empire is beset by war and strife, it was both diplomatically and strategically sound to secure a strong Catholic ally outside the realms of the Empire.
>In the absence of any pope to lead the kingdom of god on earth, the clergy steps in to take power.
The Clergy seek to enhance their power in Italy by subjugating the Duchy of Tuscany.
western poland, connecting to silesia
Or did you mean the green?
A wise move, your majesty. I assure you, it will not be one you come to regret.
Cease your attacks on our fellow Lutherans and I shall Bless your future battles, Dane.

one afk, but we pick up catholic netherlands
23 May 1619
Words with mean coming once things reveal themselves a bit.
Importantly, with only three votes, two for Naples and one abstain, the Cardinal from Naples is elected Pope.
Mecklenburg is rightful Danish clay.
Bohemia shall not tolerate a threat on its borders. Continue our conquest of Wurttemburg, any spills go into defence of Bohemia.
The Prussian War Machine will take silesia and wielkopolska
I attack netherlands
... so my dice roll was ignored then? Annex Brandenburg
Danmark > Mecklenburg; spares into Brunswick
>King Ash of Danmark
Joining as Switzerland. Blessing myself, then invading Savoy.
Gonna be using 200 BC map for 3500 BC Risk, changing nation locations.

If we can Bless ourselves, I Bless myself.
France> Assimilate Alsace--Lorraine and Catholic Netherlands.
I assumed we started at 1 and gained 1 every turn, or do we start at 0?
Father Alfonso, I would request your blessings in war. The Protestant menace stands to my north and seeks to bring its wrath upon my lands.

>"My liege, as papal controller you control the highest power in the most righteous kingdom under god on Earth. As Arch-bishiop, I can help manage the logistics and planning to administrate the papal states, under your command. Just give the word."
(OP said that I basically act like your vassal now)
Give me a command for me to do.

:^( and :^) all in one bro
OK
>Hear me, then, and listen well. Marshall the Papal armies or Rome, and march north. We must unite Italy, the heartland of Christendom, under a single banner.
We have not forgotten your friendship to Naples, good King. You have our blessing.
Change of plans. Thanks for OPing. Have a good game and good night all. Til next time.
>As soon as the messenger arrived from Napoli, the guards of Rome were rallied, and the troops were levied.
OP, the papal states marches onto Milano and Venice.
do you march through austria?
your plea has been heard and compensation is had. we will use post number unless it becomes predictable
While the Austrians are faithful Catholics, we fear that, for the good of all Christendom, we must.
that means its not a one time thing. the +1 is permenant
If we gain +1T every turn that implies it compounds, or it'd just be "Kings gain +1T".
23 May 1620

France invades the Catholic Netherlands.
Everyone expanding peacefully on leaderless factions.

With the power of the Church behind us, we shall send the smaller part of our army to finish restoring Catholicism to Wurttemburg and do send the greater part of our army northwards to drive the Prussian menace from our doorstep.
