Teleporting Crursade

[DEB8]

Well it can't be that since I am the only one with any ship in the Med. right now.

Are you really sure?

[ Unless you have a Ship ( in a Sea Zone ); a Watchtower, a Borderfort or a suitable agent ( able to see into a Sea Zone from adjacent pieces of Coastline ), for all of the appropriate Sea Zones ; you cannot be absolutely sure... ]

That is a interesting tidbit of information about being able to use allies ship for crusades!

Yup - It can be a right pain sometimes. It might even apply to "Neutral" ( but same religion ) nations shipping too...

I am playing the Turks and I have been pushing by way across North Africa. After taking out the Almohads I shared common boarder with Spain and that's when they eventually launched their crusade. The crusade could have retreated across the land bridges to Cordoba or Granada.

In my current game as the Turks, I have captured and lost Morocco. The AI threw in about 7 armies worth of Spanish Troops in a single battle. I defeated the first 2/3 but then got driven back and lost. Since then they have spent several decades sat in Morocco with up to 9/10 armies and will not attack my 3/4 armies in Algeria. Sometimes they move a crusade into Morocco ( Antioch bound ), but it will not attack either. I find that Crusades retreat not to an adjacent province like standard units, but return to the province/s that they attacked from if they used a Sea move to attack. Maybe the Land Bridges count as Sea movement re this rule ???
