Henri Christophe
L'empereur
Let me try...Any rebuttals to me and @Zaarin's counterpoints, there?
Share the same location is a problem, but we can set a game without Rome and the Vatican city will be free to set it's city on the spot.This would be a bit difficult to have on the standard Earth map with the Romans. Plus, the Papal States were not one one city, but contained several cities and territories in their swath across Central Italy, and had even had exclaves like Benevento, Avignon, and, for periods of time, Papal Fiefs in the Holy Land set up by the Crusaders and de jure the Island of Ireland.
Since it is an OCC, we can just use one city. The Vatican city is more then enought, we don't need more cities.The Papal States had many cities
And for end, I don't will make a point in favor of Vatican, because it should be more euro overrepresentation, but Vatican city fill the OCC and I think should be fun have a pope to play in a game, maybe he can purchase crusaders with faith.
