It's not too late to get the points for actually making crusades. These can be awarded anytime between now and 1205. However, it's likely way too late to build Karak unless there's already a well developed Antioch that won't get wiped out too bad in the inevitable destruction following capture....and that only if you don't have to take 10 years marching accross Europe. If you captured it next year via sea invasion, but were left with nothing after capture, it would take 40 years to build a citadel from scratch....and that's building NOTHING else, no farm upgrades, no trade, no watchtowers, and no TROOPS, which you will desperately need, especially if you cannot reinforce by sea. In fact, now that I think about it, I believe Karak's points are only available till 1200 (I got screwed once thinking it was 1205 and I had five extra years to build....so in the end I traded points for a pitiful church....spew). You'd have to capture Antioch by 1282 or 1283 (doable), and there MUST be a castle left afterwords. If not, it's too late. Even if you captured next year and were left with a keep, there's not enough time to build a castle then citadel.......just go slaugher them anyway and take out your frustration....Palestine yields the most points for successfully completing the Crusade, but doesn't yield trade like Antioch or Tripoli.
