Re: My first game troubles as England
Welcome to the Org.
The pope in this game is very peace loving. He doesn't like wars between Christian factions. He also likes money very much. This is why a lot of players do anything to make the pope happy. They offer him maps, trade rights, an alliance and most important money every turn. If you give the pope some 100 florins per turn and after a conquest some 1000 he will be very happy with you and will forgive you for attacking you Christian brethren. If you don't want to e intervened by the pope include a ballista or catapult in your army and attack and capture your objective within one turn.
The reason why the Scots aren't dead is possibly because they have captured a region in Scandinavia. Sent a spy to Oslo and you will probably see that it is a holiday resort for Scottish refugees.
You crusading army has to go in a direct line toward Antioch. Sailing with a ship around Spain and Portugal isn't a straight line so some of your soldiers will desert and jump overboard. You have to respect their faith for wanting to swim the whole distance from the Atlantic to Antioch
