I did a search for this question in the forum but can't seem to find the answer.
What determines the number of men in a crusade other than the province's zeal?
The year is 1280 and I launched a crusade against the excommunicated Sicilians and all I got was two units of Knights of Santiago!I said, well, let's try if the crusade gets more people if I do it against the Golden Horde and nope, the same thing, this time I got 3 units of Order Foot Soldiers.
At this time, my province's zeal was 98% so that's not the issue and about 15 years ago the Italians had launched a massive crusade against the Turks.
I vaguely remember reading that the size of the Crusades decrease as years go by but are there other known factors that affect the size?
Thanks a bunch!
