Mending the Great Schism makes Catholic Christianity a heresy of Orthodox Christianity, and upon mending the Schism many Catholic rulers will convert to Orthodoxy. Doing so requires control of the five Pentarchs (Constantinople, Rome, Alexandria, Jerusalem and Antioch), religious authority of at least 90% and 2000 piety. Creating an Antipope worsens the relations with the Pope, but the Antipope gets a claim on the Papacy and - if pressed - can become the 'true' Pope.Įnding the Schism (requires Legacy of Rome DLC) - Orthodox rulers who control the Byzantine Empire can mend the Great Schism, the separation of the Catholic and Orthodox churches. Bishops who like the Antipope better than the Pope will pay taxes to him instead. Creating an Antipope prevents the Pope from excommunicating the controller of the Antipope, and allows the ruler to excommunicate whosoever in his realm he wishes. These are Christian, Muslim, Pagan, Zoroastrian. There are six main religious groups in Crusader Kings II. Each character in Crusader Kings II has a religion, and the religion of the players character determines what mechanics are available to the player. Excommunicated rulers suffer relations penalties, and other Christians can call wars against them with the Excommunicated casus belli.Īntipopes - Antipopes are pretenders to the title of the Pope, and vassal religious rulers can be made Antipopes by Catholic rulers. Religion is a key concept in Crusader Kings II, and the different religions and their interactions greatly affect how the game is played. Excommunicated individuals can pay a lot of money to lift excommunication, or ask the Pope or relevant Patriarch to lift it if they are on good enough terms. Characters can ask the Pope or relevant Patriarch to excommunicate a particular individual if they are on good enough terms. Participants in a crusade can gain the Crusader trait, and if the crusade is won, the participant with the greatest contribution will gain the targeted Kingdom title.Įxcommunication - Excommunication is the expulsion of an individual from the church. Catholic rulers are notified once a crusade is called and can join it an time while it is in progress. Patriarchs can excommunicate Nestorian characters.Ĭrusades - Crusades are great holy wars called by the Pope against a particular kingdom title held by a non-Christian.The Patriarch of the East can grant the Invasion Casus Belli.The cheat console is a transparent overlay above the character's tab.
