I wondered why my crusader army was having no impact on my treasury at all! Next time i will definately pile it up with my own good troops... I can recruit feudal sergeants they should be good because they aren't armoured but have a big shield and good morale... Those and plenty of archers methinks... Crusades are fun

One bad thing about this game though, nothing warns you about unhappy people in a province and then rebels just pop up before you have a chance to do anything about it like lower tax or increase garrison... A huge army just appeared in Scotland, kicked out my garrison, then took Northumbria! I got my army from France into Mercia just in time before they invaded it... Luckily it was mostly peasants, spearmen and hobilars so it was easy to defeat, but it was a huge army bent on kicking me out of England... Needless to say i executed every prisoner i took and confiscated all land. If i could i would kill every existing Scottish person in the game and move French/English people into Scotland as punishment for the rebellion... I would rename the province 'Frengland' ...That would be fun.
