Ha! Now im thinking of starting another game as the Papal States....though you prolly cant issue a Crusade, can you? My only problem with the first period is at the start of the game, Ireland sucks, cause the miolitary is weak and the english provinces constantly declare war on you, it took me like an hour just to unite Ireland only to then fight a pitched war against the english provinces for it Til i finally invaded england and took over places like York then the foul english provinces stopped bothering me.

I find the best thing to do is to just get your kingdom power up. No one attacks you once your at 4 or 5, and if you do it like i did (when i had the 3 irish provinces) it wasn't too expensive, BUT it took a while to replenish my peity.

I could never figure out how to increase my kingdom power :-/ i could make it go down easily enuff tho lol!

You have to have a knight as a highly experienced cleric and then he may be elected as Pope when the old one dies, then u can issue crusades! it happened for me once, so i sent a crusade into a country to soften it up then declared war and took it for myself lol

It also took me a while to get the hang of it but i am now fighting all my own battles, except for against rebels, too easy. Sieging is hard tho :-/

Too get kingdom power up, you click on the black circle beside the bar with your current power in it. It costs peity and money, but once it's at 5 it's good, my kingdom power racks Ireland a wopping $55 dollars on it's own, at 5! Also i was disappointed that you cant play the Papacy...

BUT in my new game as the Highlands, I've conquered York and Northern Ireland, and am goona try and Coup france, assassinate the royal family then kill the king, so my spy can become king and France will belong to me!
