Yes, that's probably why I'm in the lead (just) at the moment
- I'm the only one bothering to meet the goals.

Then again, I fully expect to get severely clobbered in the homelands (ouch!), in the next few turns.

It's a shame that the Crusade goals are now unachievable - 1192 is too late for an overland attempt, starting in Franconia. Somewhat academic, anyway, since the Pope declared war on me and now forbids me to launch one, even though I was re-communicated. Something very screwy about this particular campaign.
