If I'm correct, the Pope's crusade-calling function should be completely unaffected by him being landless. Secret Pope Cave is well-equipped.
Retinues, the the Crown Authority, were supposed to represent a slow change in the feudal states in that period, at the begining of which kings depended on the whims of their own vassals, but with time some dynasties managed to gain more power a not only stopped to rely on their vassals, but started to enforce their will over them, being only a step away from forming a centralized state.After listening records of lectures about medieval history for some time I have realised how authentic and fun CK2 was before retinues were added. Retinues killed all the fun. You don't have to care about your asshole vassals, because you can roflstomp wars without their help. And if vassals act up, you can roflstomp them with retinues too. So, no sweet, sweet backstabbing and kinslaying internal politics we all love Medieval times for.
Is there a mod that allows playing with new DLCs, but nerfs retinues back?
Think about Capet dynasty and it's two branches as an example. They started as just formal rulers of France with almost no power and the most famous of them at the zetinth of the power of his dynasty called himself a state. Altrough it was already in the EU games period.
But as always CK sucks at showing a gradual changes. Situation with Papacy and Christianity in general in the CK2 is evem worse.
Oh for fucks sake. You mean he can call a war on me while living on my own land and there is not a damn thing I can do about it? That is beyond silly. Why can't they just relocate him to some other county if he loses Rome, that would make a whole lot more sense.
Hmm, hasn't happen to me yet, but I've only held Rome for 20 years now. And there's a new pope there now that actually likes me - he even has a +25 modifier for me crushing a (catholic) revolt - funny guy this pope.Actually he rarely stays landless for long as long as there christard rulers; one of them usually hands him a temple holding after some years. Happened multiple times for me.
You did buy The Old Gods, right? That sounds like Paradox's grand strategy worked as intended .I thought, "Who am I kidding, I haven't even played a full Norse game". STRATEGY BACKFIRED PARADOX

Best solution would be to have a temporary title for a retinue commander. Would be very useful in simulating palace coups in ERE and Muslim world.After listening records of lectures about medieval history for some time I have realised how authentic and fun CK2 was before retinues were added.

2. With the exception of Sweden. For some reason (I was Gotland, but the empire was Britannia, and swedish kingdom is a vassal republic) swedish trade posts remained and I could build new ones.
