That will do it.

The Irish and Mercians are expansionist AIs, with so little room on the British Isles it's no surprise the English tend to get bumrushed. For crusades, did you add the new factions to the Chapter House faction field in the build_prod?

You can use the -ian switch to change factions during a game, to see how they are progressing and what their focus is. You can also use it to run the game automatically (without a human player), which lets you do several campaigns quickly while observing how everything balances out.
