and this is the French emissary...oh no, wait

I have always wished you could move AI units, agents within a province. IOW, move them out of the way and stuff. You can hit X to find your own guy if you can't see him. That helps, but when the AI is bunched up, it doesn't help you find the right guy. I really love it when I assassinate the wrong guy...or one of mine.

I also hate the big "let's tie our boats together and have a party" bunch of ships in every sea zone. There's plenty of room. What the heck? I hate trying to stack my ships together and keep having to say "no I don't want to attack that ship!"

Sometimes you can use the Z, X and C keys to hide the troops and castles in the province you are dealing with - you may still have a mess of overlapping agents in the province, but at least the othe stuff is out of the way.

HTH,

Zooming helps a little bit. Remove the castles too by pressing "C" so you have more room. I hate Jerusalem castle and its 'origin' position.

my only problem is that possible province disloyalty in the wake of this might cause an Egyptian faction resurgence, and that the crusade might decide to invade somewhere else, as AI crusades have freedom of movement.

Don't defeat the crusade on open field. Hide into your castle. Let yourself become besieged and hope for Egyptians to re-emerge. Once they do then you sally. It's gonna be fun. Sit back and watch as the Saracens and Crusaders fight. The Sultan probably only brings crappy units. Train your princes there.

that is indeed wise advice, although my princes don't really need training cos i'm the Byzantines and they're all command 7 or above anyway!!
i would honestly prefer to avoid an Egyptian faction re-emergence if possible, but then again i've got 20 years until the horde arrives so i'll need something to while away the time with...! you're right about Egyptian armies, anyone who brings peasants to a war deserves to get conquered.
