Some turns later. It's all falling apart around me. I took Jerusalem, Bruges and London but got my northern army wiped out at Nottingham. Lost 3 generals including the king. Then the HRE stabbed me in the back and took Antwerp and Bruges. Its good that I put a half stack garrison in Hamburg, it's now beaten back 3 assaults by the HRE. Meanwhile the arab savages that populate Jerusalem (10% catholic) kicked me out. To add insult to injury the scots took Inverness. My empire now consists of Oslo, Stockholm, Arturs, Hamburg, Stettin and Nicosia. I packed up a general and a 3/4 stack from Jerusalem and am transporting them back north, hopefully they wont get attacked on the way. Napoleon said that if you're faced with multiple opponents you should strike the strongest first, but even if I succeed against the HRE I'll just be going straight south into Europe and be sopurrrounded by new enemies. No I will hit the weakest-Scotland with the crusading army and a new army I'm trying to build in the homeland-money's tight though. I plan to hit Inverness and Edinburgh simultaneaously and pray I'm not outnumbered then consolidate and go south to fight the English.
