Well, how did you manage to get Edessa by crusade in 1124 AD, if Palestine fell in 1122. The Pope wouldn't let you launch another crusade until the Palestine one was done: so how would you get the marker from Ile de France into Edessa in 2 years?

As SPA stated, by ships a crusade was launched from Toulouse. After it was launched I took my army in Antioch to take Edessa so I already had it when the crusade arrived.
Now, the Pope can alow multiple crusades if he calls for a crusade a second time so I´ve actually had two active crusades at the same time on several occasions.

XL-mod by Vikinghorde, check out his own thread for more info. Genoa is held by the Genoese and Lesser Armenia by the Armenians. It´s the only one I play mainly because it´s a harder game than the vanilla, it´s great and VH is also a member of our FotN-mod crew

Ahh, so THAT´S why theese provs are in the French GA-goals from the start, thanks

THanks SPA I belive there´s nothing that can make this task easier since the XL-mod actually is actually harder than the vanilla game IMO. Within a week VH will release the new 2.0 version but a beta can already be DL at 3D, check his thread, you´ll find everything there.

Actually, the outremer provinces were conquered by the First Crusade. The later crusades were launched mostly to capture some remaining muslim urban power centers within crusader controlled territories (such as Acra), or targeted against Egypt (the last one, I believe). So, if we wanted to be historically correct, the crusader GA should be "capture the 4 provinces by a single crusade" rather than many.
