Crusades are great, but don't ever lose one. It will tank your Kings influence and in some cases cause a civil war to start.

Ideally you garrison with such troops that you can give a serious blow to the enemy before you retreat to the castle. That very much depends on the defending terrain.On the province garrisons - put your back-up armies in the second row for immediate strikes, and garrison with 100 to 200 troops depending on unit size.

Don't ever lose a Crusade. Not only that your moving, filled Crusade should not be beaten and killed in a battle but you should never have a territory that produced a (or heaven forbid more that one) crusade marker fall into enemy hands.
I had several markers in Corsica once (nothing else to build there) and the island was taken. Instant huge civil war. Ouch.
Actually I don't think that makes sense or even logical on any level, since you haven't called the crusade thus your reputation cannot suffer. But anyway it is coded that way and we should live with that.
