Actually Paradox trying to portray Pius XII as a warlike pope is, crazy as it is, even more insanely ahistorical than the Adam Hilt/Señor Hilter event. Wish they'd have put some random fictional pope instead, considering also that Pius XII's election happened a little after the starting date of the game anyway.

The two focuses with the shadows of Mussolini, do them after you've unlocked the papacy. That will give you enough Powerbalance to get the Pope.

this has been nurfed the focus seek papal state now set balance of power to 0 and you have to wait a full year to get over 60%

For everybody who tries this in 4/2024! if you have problems to reach over the needed 60% for "His holiness" you can skip the focus "Conspiarcy of the Shadows" right after "Undermine the douche" just dont do it and move on to Monarchy and then if you finished "Seek papal support" + "Agents of the church" + "Strengthen the papacy" + "Disband the blackshirts" (including doing the decions that comes with the focususes) then you can do "Conspiarcy of the Shadows" as last focus to push over the 60% Threshold. Might be sketchy and not intended :D but its better than waiting a Year.

@@deepblume6611 I always go back to Monarchist Portugal as I believe it is one of the first op "meme" paths that they made. It's fairly solid if not a bit slow compared to other, newer paths that annex large amounts of land. You then get war goals on south America but sadly can't do much with it without the USA intervening. And after a few leader buffs it just stops. They should've made it so that you'd also get some goals in Africa and in Asia, try to rebuild the Empire and whatnot.

I am glad they just went full meme with the hidden papal states, they knew there was no way to even make it fit a weird alternative history and just ran wild with it.

I was just thinking that, 720 days is not enough. to get the pape to ascend the throne, it needs 1 full year of cooldown to the last decision

Been trying to replicate this, but I am not getting the balance of power I need to do it. Even with Liturgical reform and condemn fascism.. And I cant seem to figure out what I am doing wrong.

great content as always, love your vids, keep up the good work. I tried this run and there might be an even faster run. Keeping most of the strategy same, doing Balkan Ambitions unlocks a decision to give Yugo an ultimatum and they usually accept to be our puppet (If not instant war goal) (As a bonus you can also do the Albanian focus to get them early as well) So i just wait for the French and Czech guarantees to go away and send the ultimatum. If they refuse you enter the Yugo/Romanian war much earlier, if they accept they become your puppet and now you wait for the justification to finish up on Turkey and declare to get Romania involved. The Time For War focus will finish up around Turkish Justification so Bulgaria and Greece can be dealt with same as your strategy by declaring instantly after Romania finishes. A tip for players struggling to break Romania, You can declare on Bulgaria after Time for War focus finishes and take them before declaring on Turkey. Bulgarian border will be much easier to break than the Yugo border for Romania and will be a much longer frontline to manage. (You only need to call Yugo to take Bulgaria, Romania will still man the borders at Yugo front, weaking the Bulgarian front.) Please tell if i messed up or missed anything. Thanks everyone and may YOUR God be with you in your battles to come.

So, I've tried doing the Papal run 3 times now and every time I get stuck on the 60% Balance of Power mechanic. I use up all the decisions and focuses and yet can never go over the 60% threshold. Has this been nerfed already? The pope never takes over. Your Yugo and Romania tip is quite handy for my current run. BTW I am monarchist now and can't justify on Turkey anymore since world tension is at 15%. Any ideas? Should I start again? I've waited this time with the justification to finish it on time before Germany declares on Poland but I flipped to Monarchist too quickly and lost the Fascist low cost justification ability.

​@@ViktorEnns last patch update nerfed it, for the first couple of days you were able to rush to the Pope very quickly because the balance of power was not resetting to neutral after you change the fasicm council with his holiness. Now because it resets, the decisions you do only takes the balance to 60%. I've found that that given enough time (not sure exactly how much) one of the decisions pops up again and that way you ascend Pope to power.

This playthrough felt like it Was just one big Exploit Video except the fact that it all was just vanilla Focuses😂😂😂

When you finish the "Strengthen the Papacy" focus you had 55% in favor of the pope then did the decision "liturgical reforms" and had the pope in charge, When I tried following the guide after I completed "Strengthen the Papacy" I only had 20% in favor of the pope. Why is this am I missing something or doing something wrong, because of this "the pope's ascendancy" event doesn't trigger and it would take another year to wait for "liturgical reforms" to be off cooldown, then I could get the pope but that's an entire year off pace. Any explanation helps.

How do you manage to get the papal support that far by 1937? As soon as it swaps the council to the papacy it resets to zero for me and I have to wait a year to get more liturgical reforms.

Fourth, UK had their entire fleet active on the Mediterranean, so I didn´t have naval superiority and couldn´t launch any naval invasion.
