Why crusade???

Every so often, the Pope will pay you 1000 florins for your services. Free crusades!

Plus its something a bit different to do when you are bored. Wandering about other peoples empires depleting their troops is quite fun. The only thing is crusades lose troops so fast you want a sea route to your target and a "real" army actually to do the fighting when it gets there.

Is that cheesey? I guess so.

Can Denmark Crusade? I wouldn't mind doing a Crusade against their traditional target of choice-Eastern Europe/Russia!

Unfortunately, no they can't. They're one of 3 catholic factions (along with the Polish and Hungarians) who cannot crusade. I believe, however, that at least one of the fine fellows here at the Org created a mod that allows all catholic factions to crusade. For the life of me, though, I can't remember who it was. (I want to say Zarax, but that doesn't sound quite right.)

It was me. (See my sig.) Version 1 does nothing but allows all catholic factions to crusade. To be able to crusade is imho both historically accurate and good gameplay-wise.

There you go, VB; go nuts!

if the crusade has no goal anymore, does my king lose influence?

I set up a crusade against the Italians but they have just installed a puppet pope so they won't be excommunicated anymore. No more target => no more crusade => crusade defeated?
