I didn't feel like looking through all the topics, so I'm gonna post this. Tell me if something like this has happened to you:

I was playing as the Spanish. I destroyed the Almohads, and was at war with the Egyptians. I decided to send a crusade their way. The Pope approved it, and it started in Castille and it's objective was Rum I belive.

The army made it's way through North Africa, but once it got to Syria it would not move. I could not get to Rum no matter how much I tried. Tripoli, Edessa, and most of the surrounding provinces were mine, so the enemy wasn't blocking my way. But the Crusaders could not get to Rum. In fact, they couldn't even leave Syria. I eventually disbanded them because they were useless. Same thing happened when I had a Crusade originate in Algeria. What's up with that? I suppose I should have skipped Syria with my second army, but I forgot. Either way, this shouldn't be happening.

Well I once sent a Crusade to Palestine from Wessex, I too ended up in Syria, which was strange as it is to the east of Palestine. If I had moved the Crusade myself I'm sure I could have shaved off one or two provinces.

BTW, Danish Crusades are true to history.

It seems like I HAVE to move the Crusade myself, or it won't go anywhere. Must be my imagination though.

Yes, you HAVE to move it... how did you get it to Syria without moving it?

I thought you said you didn't move yours. I moved mine. I just wouldn't go anywhere after it got to Syria, and that pissed me off. Maybe it's a bug or something.

Well you get forced to move a certain direction, only a few if more than one province are highlighted as acceptable targets.

But the whole point is, I'm trying to get to Rum, but I'm stuck in Syria. I cannot move to any other province, no matter what I do. Why is that? There's nothing blocking me.
