Use vassal levies if feudal, otherwise you want to raid high-value places like Venice (early on they won't have anything protecting the island) and Rome. Always aim to be raiding cities and bishoprics, they have low fort levels and loads of cash.

Careful with the popes, I've seen him recruit mercenaries on a nearby county and then assault you with 3000 men. He's the pope, he's rich.

I've seen the pope raise a 40,000 strong mercenary army before. It's crazy. Also the reason why I refuse to have any merchant republics as vassals. When they rebel they hire everyone.

I've had good luck on the Papal raids before. Makes me laugh that the Kingdom of Lombardy next door turns a blind eye to my rampage. XD

Its especially satisfying if you have the luck to capture the pope himself. Easy 250 gold for ransom or the lovely satisfaction of sacrificing him at a blot

FTFY, if this were real life.

Pope Innocent has called a crusade for "OHGOD HELP ME"!  Those who participate are promised great rewards in the afterlife, including absolution and "LIKE 50 SKY CASTLES".

Knowing the huge bias towards Christendom converting pagans if I tried to execute the Pope he'd convert me.

Why not just reform your paganism, steal the pope, make your pope reformed pagan and use him as your new paganpopelite?

It would be really funny if there was a secret, not-in-the-event-files event where he escapes the blot with his pope-fu martial arts action.

Can't convert enemy rulers if they're imprisoned, only vassals and courtiers.

It feels wrong! D: I wanna convert people by the sword! D:

Is this possible, and if so, why haven't I heard of it?

Also, is there a bonus for sacrificing the pope at a blot because I'm going to see if I can.

Also, I've become the king of Sweden at the age of 39! The King of flipping Sweden! Iceland as well. It's good to be Viking.
