Right, well, kind of copy-pasting of my post in the totalwar.com forum, could you guys help me out with:

French/German, early, glorious achievements.
I have sent 3-6 crusades, to each target province 1 or 2, in the following manner:
- over sea, province & castle taken, taking 1 or 2 years
- over land, province & caste taken, taking 8 years or more

After taking province & castle, I have, after various years:
- lost all and/or some of my troops to invading egyptians
- defended all invasions until 1210
- retreated to the castle when they invaded, after which I: kicked them out again or let them siege me out.
- moved the entire army out of the province, sometimes selling the buildings
- moved part of the army out of the pronvice.

And in none of these ways could I guarantee the points you should get for Crusades. The game just seems to give me points when it feels like it.

It's 1212 now and I've got 2 out of 4 crusades somehow awarded. (played as the French)

I have version 1.1 which made the Glory Goals more transparent (so you can see better that the game is actually screwing you).

My question is when is a crusade glory goal Exactly achieved: In which year are points awarded? Or, after how many years are points awarded.
Or what do you need to do to or with those Egyptians to get the points?

Argh, I believe nobody knows the answer (asking in two forums). But surprise me. :-)

Thanks in advance,
