Protestant bonus is 4. I think it is a good use of the card since he cannot use the event to benefit himself for a few turns.

Treachery is worth 2 cards or event plays from practically anyone else, since it allows all kinds of bullshit.  France taking Calais, Genoa, or Venice; England taking Rouen or Antwerp without fucking around with boats; Ottomans taking Venice, etc. etc...

I think I am going to go and win this debate by appealing to an authority you cannot possibly deny.

Del, I played Treachery as my Diet card earlier in the turn.

Played Papal Bull

Raised 2 mercs in Ravenna
moved 1+2 to Modena
Control Modena

Hopefully I did everything right.

You did, but unless you plan on taking Florence the very first turn, the move to Modena is a waste of time.  You can control Siena with your starting forces and SD there on turn 2, saving you a CP.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

probability tables for reformation attempts, so you know which of 4-2 and 2-1 gives you a better chance of success.

1/1 - Suleiman et.al. move from Nezh to Belgrade. Then runs out of cp and starts the siege.

How did you remove unrest from Kassel? Don't you need units next to the space?

Playing my home card as ops (not that it matters if it's an event or not)
1/5: place control marker on Liege
5/5: build two squadrons in Gibraltar

QuoteA power may spend 1 CP on the Control Unfortified Space action
to remove unrest from a space if at least one of these conditions
is met:
a. land units controlled by the active power occupy the space,
b. the unrest is in a Protestant home space, and this is the Protestant
power removing unrest before the Schmalkaldic League
Mandatory Event has occurred, or
c. land units controlled by the active power are adjacent to the
space and land units of an enemy power are not adjacent.
[For the purposes of this condition, two spaces connected
by a pass should not be considered adjacent.]

I.e. Protestants can remove unrest from their home spaces just by paying 1 cp, until the League fires. That's why I said it isn't as disatrous for me now as it would have been later - it slows my Reformation somewhat (which is not necessarily an entirely bad thing) but I don't have to worry about moving units at this stage.

England puts Edinburgh under siege and moves some fleets around.

France sends an explorer, builds a couple of mercs and puts Metz under siege.

Inactive minors always retreat to their forts when they have 4 or less unit in the space
