How to join:

edit: this is assuming the pope has called a crusade. I believe you can request him to do so - not sure, I've only played Muslim factions thus far.

1) Get a stack of units. I think the minimum is 10 units.

2) Put a family member in charge of that stack.

3) Select the stack. On the bottom left corner of the family member's info screen, you'll see a small cross (or a crescent moon for Jihads if you're Muslim.) Click this cross, and your army joins the crusade.

4) I believe the crusade-specific units are added to your stack automatically. But do keep in mind that you'll face desertion if you're on a crusade (Jihads do not have desertion) so most of the time you won't make it to your destination with all your units. Wouldn't recommend sending your best units.

A)Get a Force led by a general with 8 or more units in his army. Then hit the Join crusade button at the bottom of the army details scroll.

B)From the place you normal get units

C) well no but you get High quality "Crusader Mercenaries" That cost little to recruit but have a high upkeep

D)If you abandon the crusade many of soldiers will desert. Also moving by boat is an expedient way to get to the crusade target

small precision:
The units you recruits are mercenaries; dont try to recruit crusaders in one of your cities.

the units you can recruit have an extremely low price (lower then 100 florins), but their upkeep is the same as their non-crusade equivalent (if there is one).
