Spanish, Expert, GA
After capping the other crusade destinations I was finally about to get the last one - Antioch. I had invaded and taken over the province but in their defeat, the Egyptians walked-like-themselves right back to their castle. Since it was only a year to wait I decided not to attack (I was also fighing the Byz at this time). So I wait and in the second year when the castle falls, the French come into Antioch with their own crusade Doh. I see some message where the French say that they will peacefully let me have Antioch and the screen pops up with congratulaitons-you have receieved X points. There is much rejoicing (albeit premature)...
So I setup my governor, put more troops in Antioch just in case since the French crusade token is still their on the map and continue on merry way. Well two years pass and on the third year, I get a message saying I lost my crusade province and when I look, the French have it and my 4 full stacks of troops are scattered throughout the neighboring regions Hello? MacFly? Huh?
Can anybody explain what happened? I know it was kind of a rare sequence and synchronization of events but if this is expected behavior, shed some light, please...
Incidently, the Spanish+crusades=tons-of-fun,
