I just started my first crusades campaign as Egypt. I immediately declare a Jihad against Jerusalem, and throw my vast collection of lightweight starting units at them.
By the end of turn two Saladin sieges the first small coastal settlement, the crown prince reaches the second small settlement along the coast, attacks a captain-led army, which lures Prince Guy out, and kills Guy.
A third no-name general sieges Jerusalem. "Saladin's Jihad" event units don't even have time to join with my main armies. My spy sees 2 big Jerusalem armies nearby - one led by Balain of Ibelin, and a full stack with Marshall and Constable of Jerusalem + other scary shiny troops led by a captain. I hold my breath, and hit end-of-turn.
King Baldwin sallies and attacks my no-name half stack siegeing Jerusalem. A half hour very fun battle follows where I kite half of baldwin's troops with light cavalry while throwing wave after wave of dismounted ghulams at Baldwin only to see them rout on impact. Finally Baldwin falls, and his army routs. After I get back to the world map screen, I get the Faction Destroyed message for Jerusalem. No attack from Balain or Raymond of Tripoli, no Jerusalem reinforcements, no scary shiny knights charging me.
Has anyone seen this happen before?
