Your challenge if you choose to accept it, is many fold. The first objective is with a POD in 1198, the ascension of Pope Innocent III, to create a Papal controlled Toulouse and surrounding regions. This can be achieved through either direct control or Papal vassalage of the Duke of Toulouse and its removal from the French and or Aragonese spheres. How might this be possible and how long might it last?
In connection to this, how much can we empower and strengthen the Papacy and the interests of it and its allies with a POD in 1198, using the strongest of Popes. Points system can be allocated regarding this and are as follows: (the person who can reasonably garner the most points 'wins')
2 Points for the goal of a Papal Toulouse
1 Point for Papal maintenance of the Donation of Constantine
8 Points for weakening the Paris crown by some method and weakening its ability to control its appendages
7 Points for 4th Crusade victory in Egypt
4 Point for the creation of the Latin Empire
2 Points for the continued disunity between Sicily-Naples and the Empire
9 Points for Innocent III's accepted control regarding the appointing of the Emperor
1 Point for protecting the city of Zara from Venice-Crusaders
3 Points for the submission of King John to the Papacy and extra 1 Point if the Church property seizing does not occur
3 Points for successful Albigensian Crusade
1 Point for the subjugation of the Bosnian Bogomils and victories Hungarian campaigns in the Balkans
If there is another achievement that can be made that you feel warrants points, I will look at the example and reward it a point value and add it to the points that you already had accumulated. Some of the examples of points, would be any lands gains or other events that can benefit the Papacy that are related to it.
Hope that this would be fun. I look forward to seeing who can garner the most points!
