What to Do if Bishop Dies

[Neon Ninja]

What can I do to improve my relationship with the church if the Bishop that lives in my village dies. Can you get a new Bishop lol?

[gribelo]

Shouldnt they send a new one? ))
I wasnt in such situation myself yet, just guessing..

Celebrate, because my Bishop was sleeping with all the peasants and giving me a bunch of bastards to take care off...

It is because it causes people to hate each other and start gossiping. The next thing you know, half of your council hate each other. I spent like 3 game days to smooth things over with just my wife being a bastard, now imagine an army of bastards... And when your nobles want to murder them...

I just experienced an "atomic explosion" of socialisation in ma game (rumors, shiттalk, unwanted interrupts) so your issue is now seems like not an issue to me ))

This is ggod sign for a game if its not some an unfortunate bad "balance fix". It brings it closer to Rimworld class of game.

Maybe bishops should be celibates, they're already ascetic, yeah? That should also apply for alcohol and sex since those are physical pleasures and all. My bishops always end up becoming alcoholic demented nymphomaniac deadbeats haha

If he died of natural causes, most likely from old age, a new bishop will come to you after a few days.

I did not directly order anyone to kill him, but I believe he was murdered by one of my Lords or at the very least someone who lives in my village. This is another reason some kind of log that we can open and look at at anytime (of the messages that briefly appear on screen) would be an amazing addition to this game.

If you are trying to maintain a good relationship with the Church, then yes it is bad.

What do you mean? My Bishop did not produced any bastards yet.. Is there some penalty for "Bad Bishop"? ))

I meant that it was bad for me when the Bishop died because I was in a play through where I was trying to keep the church happy and so I had created a lot of fanatics in my two Temples. And I am pretty sure my bishop didn't just die of old age, I think he was murdered by one of my Lords or at the very least, someone living in my village/settlement. I would know for sure if they would add the Event Viewer into the game so the messages that come on the screen for a short time describing various incidents would be viewable again. This way I could open the event viewer and would be able to go back and look up what happened to the Bishop and who killed him if someone did.

If you have a Bishop that behaves badly, and I think most times they do as far as drinking and having lots of sex with various partners lol, there is not necessarily a penalty for the things he does, but some bad things can come of it. I think the main thing is the Bishop is your connection to the Church and so if you want to have a good relationship with the Church, having a good relationship with your Bishop helps. Anyone can feel free to correct me if I don't have all the details right.

Of course, you can do a playthrough and try to have as many agnostics as possible by preaching the Sermon of Doubt (I think that is what it is called) in your Temples. I'm not sure of all the mechanics of this method because I haven't tried it yet, but it also opens other gameplay possibilities.

Also, you are correct in thinking that bastard children can be useful if you want to go that route. It is probably not the easiest way to be successful in this game, but yeah any child you have in your village/settlement can be helpful by reading books and eventually when they turn 18, you can choose how you want to use them. Just make sure you are educating them from early age as then they will be way more useful when they turn 18.

Ah.. It was misunderstanding. I understand that you need to have a Bishop around to mantain good relations with Church. I was asking is it bad to have bastards? I guess it doesnt hurt in any way, you can always say them to GTFO ))
