Hey Guys,
Well, I'm playing the English on Glorious Acheivements, which means I have to go on pious whoop-@ss missions in the Middle East.
As I can't go back in time, I'm just curious to know what would have happened in the following scenario:
I Crusade against Antioch and Eddessa, conquering both provinces. I know that I have to Crusade against Tripoli and Palestine, so after building a bit of technology in Antioch, I send normal armies in and take Tripoli.
Glorious Acheivements list says I must still take Tripoli by Crusade. Can I launch a Crusade against my own Province? What will my Crusader Army do upon arrival.
Also, the French, bit behind on the uptake launch a Crusade on Tripoli, even though I live there. Oddly enough, an combined Army of Byzantines, French, and my own bought troops (man English Camel Warriors look a little silly) face an oncoming Egyptian Army that happens to arrive at the same time.
The battle ends, the computer says, due to the size of their armies being the largest, this becomes a Byzantine Province.
However, we go to map screen, Byzantines are gone, Tripoli is Blue, because the French are there. Taking a closer look, I realise my bribed Egyptians are actually under seige in the castle.
Move a huge army into Tripoli, French Crusade cannot win the battle and retreats, only to reappear next turn, with the message, Leader explains that they are on a Crusade from God, will you hand over the Province willingly???
Um... No. I need Tripoli for my Crusade (though I own it and haven't launched a Crusade there). So, the French, a couple (I mean, honestly, two) of archers and spearmen and One Knight Templar, who manages to slay almost 1/3 of my forces before he dies, all die.
What if I had said, Yes, go ahead. Take the Province. Would I have met with similar hospitality when my own Crusader Army arrived?
If you know the answer to any of these, please, let me know.
