how to crusade...

To make a crusade you must build a chapter house, which you can build after you've built a church, available at keep level. Then you can 'recruit' a crusade marker which will appear on the campaign map in the province you built it in. Now zoom out and have some spare troops at hand. Take up the marker and drop it in the target province (highlighted red I think). Some dialogue will appear asking you to pay money to the pope. Then the marker will have become an army with a cross sign. You can now stuff troops into it (no limit) and move it towards the target province. It can normally pass other christian territory peacefully and gather troops on the way (while losing some other troops to desertion). Simply keep on going.

In vanilla MTW there are some factions that cannot crusade IIRC. I think Poland and Denmark are excluded. Maybe Sicily or Aragon too but I'm not sure. Might be that you picked one of them.

Edit: for the Chapter House, you need the Keep (second level fortification) and the Church. That should unlock CH.

Vanilla is the standard, unmodified game.

The Danes, Poles and Hungarians cannot crusade.

And the Swiss, Burgundians, and Papacy also cannot build a Chapter House.

The Viking Invasion disk has a PDF of the Viking campaign tech tree, but the main campaign just had a big paper layout. There are some fan-generated tech trees in the download section here at the Org.

[shameless plug]For quick lookups, you can follow the link in my sig to the Org's MTW wiki. The building and unit sections will have building/faction/era requirements for everything.[/shameless plug]
