Crusades?

**erikio6590** · 08-16-2005, 20:02

Im confused on how to do crusades, what is required to launch one? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Build a Chapter House. A Crusade symbol will appear in the unit training list. Build it (it will take four turns). Then choose where you want to go: either Muslims, Rebels or excommunicated factions.

Welcome erik

- you will find that the game's crusades are difficult
to master, both the actual assaults and the developing situations after-
wards

. It took me many questions here to understand. We will
be lurking for your questions and will help as much as possible

i have one... do you have to pay support costs for a crusade?

You have to pay for the crusade originally, sometimes 500, 750 or 1000fl is
what I have seen. According to another post you don't have to pay support
cost while the crusade is in action, but you will when the crusade is disbanded

. This is why some say to hire mercs, since you don't have
to pay them when they are in a crusade.

What faction are you playing? IIRC, the Danes, Poles, Hungarians and Sicilians cannot build Chapterhouses, and therefore cannot crusade.

Welcome to the .Org!

I am currently playing sicilians on Hard...

Nobody told me I could not build a chapter house and crusade...

currently excommed - but either pope or my king will die soon - then I start to try and fulfill my GA requirements:

Examine the unit training page for that province. If you don't see the Crusade Marker as a training option then you'll know everything is functioning as it should.

It's a pain that the game lets you spend money/time on a building you can't use but, if there's some kind of booster for the construction (+happiness or +1 morale on all other units) then it may still have been worth it.

The only other explanation is that you've installed the 'all_can_crusade' mod (see Budwise's sig for the link) but have suffered a 'senior moment'.

EDIT: My sincere apologies to bretwalda, whose sig carries the link to the mod and to Budwise for getting your name confused with his.

Maybe I'm mistaken about the Sicilians. Looking at Bushface's Catholic tech-tree (Aug 2003), it says

Chapterhouse - Crusade(not DHP nor Sicilians)

The first MTW campaign I played, I was the Danes, went out of my way to tech up to a Chapterhouse, only to find that I couldn't build. Looked through the manual and the strat guide, they said nothing about it. Had to come here to the .Org to figure out why. Damn manual...
